I expect the resale values of the last Imprezas to stay high for a while.

To be honest, I kind of like it. The re-shaping of the grill looks pretty cool, and WAY better than on the Tribeca.

I actually think it looks pretty good, much better than the pre-2004 models for sure (that is when it got the facelift, right?)

Definitely..it looks better than the bugeyes of yore, but not as good as the current model.

Hey, that looks alright. I was worried after seeing some of the artist's renditions that have been flowing around the net.

But this looks quite nice. I wish they had redone the rear a bit more though. This still kind of seems like another facelift, until they whip up something brand new.

Which is exactly what it is.  ;)

Not exactly, the headlights are completely different and the grille isn't identical either:

The car you posted was an Impreza with modified Legacy headlights and a modified Tribeca grille. I think it was probably a coincidence that the pics came out looking somewhat similar, as the two biggest components (current Impreza and a B9 grille fit on a small-car body) were requirements in both designs.

*HUGE SIGH OF RELIEF!*


Thank God they didn't butcher it the way all the chops and estimates were portraying!  It's not bad...I like it, but not as much as the current-gen.  I see they didn't change the tail-lights all that much...which is good.  The front-end upgrade is obviously noticeable but it is somewhat subtle...  The face of the car has more of a glaring look to it now.

Not bad...  :rockon:

Yeah exactly...I like it like that...well sort of.  The car already looks mean...with the the wing, wheels, and hood scoop...but this makeover made it look even meaner.

Does anyone know about the engines and tranny's that are going to be offered in the vehicles?  Are they just gonna keep the standard 2.5 (in the 2.5 RS), the 2.0 Turbo (Sedan), and the 2.5 Turbo (STi)...?  Are they going to up the power output by at least a decade's worth of horses? (10-ish)

Ahhh I see your point.  It also has some Alfa written in the conclusion as well but it's not noticeably either or unless you really study it.  But good eye...you caught me.  ;)

The WRX in general is sort of their halo car, but you're right, the STi is THE halo car of Subaru.

QuoteDoes anyone know about the engines and tranny's that are going to be offered in the vehicles?  Are they just gonna keep the standard 2.5 (in the 2.5 RS), the 2.0 Turbo (Sedan), and the 2.5 Turbo (STi)...?  Are they going to up the power output by at least a decade's worth of horses? (10-ish)
don't think so. it's just a mid cycle refresh.
It's the car's second mid-cycle refresh at that. And both times, only the front end has changed.
Do you know if there are going to be engine changes/modifications?  If so...when?
when a new model comes out.
They can't get rid of the WRX!  :o
No one said anything like that. Why would they kill off the WRX?
yeah, why would they?

QuoteMan, what are you people smoking?  :P  This thing looks like a fuckin Suzuki.
Umm..not really.  :rolleyes:   The only major change is the front end...the grille, lights, and fascia...and it isn't too bad.  :angry:
Look...

^That^ is a combo of

this and
(http://www.suzukiauto.com/sr_05/forenza_wagon/gallery/exterior/views/wagon-backdrop.jpg)
this.
I can see the resemblence but it only exists because the Forenza's grill design was copied from Alfa, the same place Subaru got their's from.
