Looks like the lovechild of a skyline and a 350Z that overdosed on hormones and steriods at birth.

But i like it.

Just drove past Subarur garage and noticed the new Impreza sat outside.. It's a poor show.. They even chose a bad colour - baby puke

Faster than the 911 Turbo (997) that it was up against, but 1700+kg. Ouch it's a lardy car.

I'm sure the V-Spec and Nur versions (and a few Nismo specials) will really be something if they shed the weight.

The interior looks a bit cack though.




EDIT - And no manual option at launch. Something to do with emissions I read. So it's a paddle box for the time being.

I love it.

Not sure the missus would ever allow me to have one though!

I think it's great, but it's going to struggle in the price band regardless of performance.

IIRC the M5 is approx

As for the GT-R, I think it's looks are best described as 'purposeful'.

The styling's a bloody mess; makes the R34 look elegant!

But most modern cars are like that.

The interior still looks a bit placcy tacky, despite the Infiniti influences.

But I do like it!
