2008 Impreza

Pictures that make it look slightly less ass-like...

[RBB]

Blecch. They absolutely ruined a really great car.

You know what the grill looks like?

aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaawww yeaaaaaaah

Way to benchmark Chrysler's ugliest car Subaru...I guess the airplane nose wasn't ugly enough for you.

Hey, at least I didn't immediatly blame Toyota for the world's problems.

That was...not the brightest comment ever posted.

I was hopeful for the sedan... but I just saw pictures of it at Autoweek, and even there, under natural lighting conditions... bleh... they also have pics of the base model. And I guess the handy little wagon is being replaced by this hatchback. Stupid move... Subaru built its presence in the USA on ingenious little AWD wagons, and look that them now.

[Mr.Krinkle]

Wow. Talk about trying too hard.

[thegriffon]

And it turns out there is a 2008 WRX sedan after all.

Sedan rear...

You've gotta be kidding me...

[gm4life]

I kinda like it, I like the current one more.

[Camino LS6]

The Aztek is no longer the icon of ugly.

[CSpec]

The exterior is OK, but very bland and dated. The interior looks absolutely foul!

[Intrepidation]

The Aztek is no longer the icon of ugly.

Yes it is...nothing sold in this country is that ugly...not even this.

Here's a few pics of the sedan...if the front end was better it might look alright.

It kinda reminds me of a Suzuki from this angle...

The interior is however, quite handsome.

[z28luvr01]

Strange, but I see a lot of Saab in this design, as if this were designed when Saab and Subaru were in bed together a couple of years back.

[aaaantoine]

Designs like the Impreza shown reduce Subaru's visual appeal to gamers. Sad as it is.

Speaking as both a gamer and a car enthusiast, the Impresa looks like crap.

[vrazzhledazzle]

WHAT THE did they do to it?? And why??

[regfootball]

the interior looks better in these more recent pics. almost nice, actually, in the light color.

the exterior looks bad, but not brutal like the first pics.

I've maintained that this new Imprez was to be a Saab also. its so obvious.

jump on those cheap imprezza leases now. the newer model ain't as nice.

I sure hope they got rid of the stupid ass frameless windows.

FUGLY!!!

[BatmanGTO]

well its not that it looks totally terrible.... it is just no longer a rally car.... doesnt fit the bill. the shape and molding are way off

[Cory Wolfe]

Wait a minute... Subaru went with a six window design for the sedan? And in the process it looks to have eliminated the pillarless doors? Those bitches.

[mustang84]

Interior looks nice, rest looks like it was hit by the ugly truck.

Never mind the frameless glass- where's the brand-made-famous cladding?!?!?

Seriously, have any of you guys really felt subarus have been attractive... to the point that something here was 'ruined'?

It's damned ugly, and no surprise to me. Interior design is not bad, tho it looks awful cramped.

[Screaming Trees]

The interrior looks ok, it may be a bit cramped inside. As far as the rest of the car.....well I want to see it up close rather than in pictures.

...

This isn't an Outback.

And yes, Subarus have generally had more attractive designs than most of their respective competitors, including ones from GM. The Legacy has always been one of the best looking midsizers out there. The Impreza has as well, although, with each update of the current generation it got less attractive.

[ocnblu]

Someone mentioned "Suzuki", and yes, it has the same disease as the Aerio... tall, high beltline, narrow, with apparently tiny wheels. It is homely like a late-70's/80's Subaru.

Brand famous cladding is Pontiac. And yes, the Legacy is a very attractive car, so is the Outback wagon, and so is the pre-refreshed Forester.

subaru is notorious in my mind with tiny cabins in proportion to the car's size. visually and spacially. they always have short doors, tiny windows......firewalls and windshields pushed too far back. I'm glad this won't be a Saab 9-2.

it's so totally obvious that this may have been the next 9-2x at one time.
