new imprezza.. ugly?
if they would rid of the top mount intercooler setup and the scoop and go with a
front mount, it'd look a lot better.
The current lineup looks down right beautiful compared to that thing.

Re: new imprezza.. ugly? (batmang)
It's going to be a hot hatch? 
! I don't know much about rallying but would that put them in a different class going from a 4 door saloon to a hatch?
It's hard to trust a british tabloid though, I wonder if there are any other sources saying this

Re: (batmang)
I found a link to the article: http://www.autoexpress.co.uk/n....html
"The decision confirms comments made by Impreza chief engineer, Hiroshi Mori, who told Auto Express that the next-generation car "might take a new design direction, and could be smaller". So why have designers turned their back on saloons? The new car will be smaller, lighter and cheaper to produce than the four-door, and should have better handling, thanks to its short wheelbase and stiffer body."
"The Impreza hatch will sit on a shortened Legacy chassis. The plan is to introduce basic 1.5 and 2.0-litre variants, with flagship models coming with a 2.0-litre 300bhp turbo motor. Five and six-speed manual gearboxes will be available, along with a five-speed auto. "
" To enhance the cornering potential even more, engineers and test drivers will also develop an advanced version of the current Driver Controlled Centre Differential (DCCD). This allows more torque to be channelled to the rear wheels for sharper turn-in."
