the sedan looks like a kia and 5 dr looks like a bmw 1 series

 

wow all this jelouse people

 

please dont compare it to the legacy

 

catchin feelings

 

Not my favorite wrx.

 

Looks like the wrx from the legacy parts bin...I did see the STi pics and it looks a little better.

 

wow this is a cutting edge thread, these have only been out for 4 months

 

Looks crap, doesn't look distinctive at all. You wonder with all the money they have how they came out with this.

 

"stuff like that" "I think 224hp" worst reporter ever. Either get the facts straight or don't report. too many "uhs" and "stuff like that" Lack of knowledge
ps it looks like ^%$&^%

 

New sighting of the STI-LL ugly Looks like it has dual exhaust aswell.

Wonder why these Jap. designers don't get retro like Ford, Dodge and Chevy did??? There are some cool looking older EVO, and Scubby design cues that seem to have just gotten lost....what's with that???

 

That thing is starting to look like a Ford fOC-US! :-P

 

after reading the early reviews on the new WRX, I was really disappointed. I didn't think Subaru would mess up its brand image car like this... it looks boring and hasn't made any fun improvements over the old car. Its a little slower and more comfortable.... *yawn* STi looks terrible too.

I swear if Subaru made a 2800-3100 lb 2 door rwd or 4wd car with good styling and the Sti motor, I would buy one. For sure.

 

PRESS RELEASE

Subaru Impreza WRX enthusiasts are expected to turn out in force to be the first to drive the new performance model at a special Consumer Ride and Drive event on Saturday, August 11, 2007 at Santa Anita Park in Arcadia, CA from 12 p.m. until 8 p.m. Attendees will have the chance to drive the legend themselves or ride shotgun with a professional driver on a closed course. In addition, there will be an Impreza WRX festival including a tuner car salon, live DJs, games, and much more.

The event will feature two driving courses; the first is a dynamic driving course that highlights the acceleration, handling, and braking capabilities of the all-new Impreza WRX; the other course promises the ultimate thrill ride as attendees co-pilot the car on a Rally Stage and experience the new Impreza WRX driven to its limits by a professional driver.

There will also be a complete Impreza WRX festival. Festival activities will include:

-- Tuner Car Salon hosted by NASIOC
-- Live Blender DJ's
-- A Video Gaming Lounge
-- RC Car Track
-- Subaru Rally Team USA Traveling Trailer
-- SPT Performance Parts Display
-- Product Walk Arounds
-- Subaru Gear Merchandise
-- 2008 Subaru Model Lineup

The new 2008 Impreza WRX comes with a 224-hp 2.5-liter boxer four and reaches 60 mph from rest in just 5.9 seconds. With new, more sophisticated styling and two new body styles, a 4-door sedan and a 5-door model, the Impreza 2.5i and Impreza WRX breathe new life into the compact performance market. The new Impreza models deliver significant improvements in comfort and utility, while delivering the handling, performance and Subaru Symmetrical AWD that made the original Impreza such a success. Also new for 2008, is the availability of Vehicle Dynamics Control (VDC) on both the Impreza 2.5i and Impreza WRX.

In 2002, Subaru changed the face of the performance market with the introduction of the original WRX, a car that could deliver turbocharged, rally-bred performance in any driving condition. The all-new 2008 Subaru Impreza WRX follows that lead with an all-new breed of AWD performance car. Larger than its predecessor, the 2008 Subaru Impreza WRX now rides on a 3.7 inch longer wheelbase (103.1 inches) that improves ride, interior space and utility.

If someone goes, post your impressions.

 

We just got the new impreza's and one 08 wrx a couple days ago at my dealership. I must say I was completely unimpressed it drives the exact same as a older one, 02, 03, 04, etc. the actual impreza's remind me of some sort of cheap affordable thing from hyundai or suzuki. being able to get nav in them though was pretty cool
