The sedan isn't actually that bad i guess, like the previous gen way better, but still... That wagon is about the gayest thing i've ever seen, so plane and not sporty. Trying to get old people to buy more subarus or what? lol, I could TOTALLY see my grandma driving that wagon ahahahahahah

oh boy did they mess up, I thought the 2001 front end was hideous, then they came with the 2007 front end and now this the sedan looks like a hyundai something (elantra?) and the wagon looks just like a mazda with a tribeca rear guess I'm with you guys, no new subaru for me

I can live with the "Hatch" wagon... I can live with the clear tail lights... I can live with the "Framed" door windows..... ...but I can NOT live with that front end......

I Can't live with a Subie that looks like a Mazda. If I want a Mazda 3 I'll buy one.
The Hatch/Wagon looks like a Mitsubishi Outlander from the rear. &%#* SUV's!!
You know the nose isn't the worst part of the car. Not like the "urinal" nose on the previous WRX. The worst part of the car is how Subaru went so "mainstream" with it. I Hate "me too" styling. I mean look at my stable of cars. The Olds is my one mainstream car, and I've hated it since we bought it. I MUCH prefer the "oddball" stuff.

you know here is my take on this (other then the rant a few posts up): -it isn't bad looking (wagon) but I hate the clear lights (on any car for that matter) - the sedan is ok looking too with the "optional" grille (look at one at a dealer it is much nicer) - light switch...yeah it was a funky quirk but to be honest with you who the heck really uses that thing -door frames I am in favor of...I am sick of my mirrors whistling at 90 mph -maybe with door frames we can get some vent visors for the windows that are worth a d**n and don't look ghey - I really hope they make an OBS....don't ask why I just hope they do. -they can offer hubcaps if they want to but not on my d**n car. -lights that can be turned on with teh car off. Who cares. Sure it is a nice feature to have them do their thing automatically but every other car on the planet you have to do it by hand or it has electronics to do this for you (07 corolla does it automatically so you don't even have to touch the switch) - temp gauge. this is total BS here. I wonder if it has a "cold" light like the chevy PU's of the early 1970's did. That right folks...I just made a refrence to a truck that is 30 something years old. -FWIW I kinda like the Mazda 3. would I buy one...nah I'll just take the subaru that looks like one ;D So in the end am I going to buy one....heck no I like my baja too much (plus I need to pay for it first) but is the new impreza a horrible car? to me no. Will I leave subaru over it? nope, not going to happen either. If someone would build a good car with a 5 speed and AWD (good stuff like subaru/audi) maybe I would jump the fence but as of right now I'll take what I got and call it a day.

The light thing will be missed by people like my girlfriend, who NEVER turns her headlights off. It's convenient and quirky, which is what I love (or used to love) about Subaru.
Yes there will be an OBS in hatch form.
Windows... aside from tradition, it's REALLY easy to take the window out should the regulator or motor fail, which happens.
Whatever. I'm done bitching. What's done is done. Subaru made their decision and I made mine.

Something a lot of people might not know is that these new Imprezas are selling like hot cakes in Japan!!
They are selling more of these than they did the previous model and are settimg sales records with them. The other interesting thing is that there are a lot of buyers getting out of Legacys and into new Imprezas.
Go figure!!!

on a slightly related note, I HATE the fact that the headlights on the XT turn off with the key but don't close something to put on my list, rig them to close when I shut the car off dammit

I think the little hatchy is kind of cute.
But I'm a girl, and I buy cars because they're cute.
