It's seems the developers want to main stream this car and try to influence the female market , i'm not sexist but the car looks like a march or some piece of scrap metal, No one will fear a subaru if they continue to take away it aggressive looks , the new 08 impreza ,wrx and sti is terrible if you think of buying something new go legacy because it the shape and essence was not touched. i hope 2009 they re-invent the inpreza into something remarkable Twisted Evil

The new impreza looks good.

It has lost some of the "aggressive" edginess of the older cars.....but then....that's been happening with alot of the newer cars these days (Evo X v.s. Evo IX? etc).

At least the new TS isn't as badly off as the older one in the hp range (95 hp v.s. 106 hp).

Yep...it's more than just peak power too.

If I can remember what I saw in the brochure (I just skimmed thru it quickly at the firm), I think it has AVCS now. So the new car gives a better power response throughout the rpm range, as opposed to the old EJ16 powered TS.

the foreign auto press still rates the likes of the Toyota Corolla, Honda Civic, Mitsubishi Lancer and Mazda 3 to be better cars overall......they generally say the design sets a new benchmark in the yawn factor. However, its a solid car with good traction (duh) but the dash besides the exterior looks was rated subpar and despite an "improved" suspension, the Mazda 3 still posts better lateral g's in grip.

Local hatchbacks are heavier than the 1.6TS sedan of yore and despite a slightly more powerful engine (marginal), the weight increase ofsets such hence.....$179k for a 1.5L engine is reduced to it being a highly ridiculous price.

Lastly crash safety seems overall good but I expected much better results since this is a 2008 fresh launch and fuel economy is unimpressive for a compact as well as interior room.

True....but then again look at the prices corollas are going for. The basic model for what....140k.....doesn't even carry ABS, or a tach Shocked A "loaded" ( Laughing ) Corolla with those "features" (Rolling Eyes) costs circa 160K.

The 2008 Impreza is a two thumbs up for me, my friend bought a '08 Impreza last week. Sooo cool Laughing one thing I like about the Impreza is that

"The enthusiast-grade WRX sheds 50 pounds but boasts bolder bodywork, more useable muscle-still 224 T-charged horses but with broader power/torque bands-big Legacy-level brakes, and a full sport suspension. Details on the upcoming STI remain murky, but expect super-aggressive style."
