[waynepixel]

I think it looks OK, i just hope the STI version comes out this good. Is it me or does anyone else see a glimpse of the Focus RS in the new Imprexa WRC

It's undoubtedly better looking than the mundane road car it's based on, but it's still an aesthetic failure in my opinion. I'd honestly take a bloody Corsa VXR over this!

Do you want to stay on the road or not, for sure you won't in a VXR as they handle worse than poo.

I maybe wrong but I heard somewhere that they might be ditching the WRX name and calling it a GT instead, correct me if i'm wrong but I may have seen something on the Litchfields Imports site.

I assume that's a picture of a "Photoshopped" Mazda of some kind?

[Mat Hammond]

I hope it performs better than the current car!

Petter pulled out of last weeks WRC in Finland as the car was turning on the straights.....

Oh dear.....

[havoc]

Still ugly!

[bri_the_fly]

OK OK...I'll admit it...It looks good.


maybe it's just cos I love that colour

[flattotheboards]

looks like a radio control car. looks better than the standard car by miles.

[mattwell]

The rear end looks like its off a 147 GTA.
Is there any other 5 door WRC cars?

[Beefmeister]

Some better pictures (if they work)

[Beefmeister]

A WRC car with Lexus Chav Rear Lights (tm)!!!!!

...and of course, how many times have we seen a showroom spec Impreza that looks like it's just fallen off a WRC rally stage?

Err, never...

Where have you been? For quite a few years the most significant visual difference was the stickers. (Put a 22b next to a WRC99, or a STi-RA V-ltd next to the WRC car of the same year and you'll see what I mean )

The back view looks a lot more appealing than the front. I still think they've got a lot of work to do. That said this is only the 2nd time I've seen pics of the new Impreza so maybe it'll grow on me.

I agree with those who suggested renaming it. It's gone too far now.

Most of our owners drive classic shape Impreza's ranging from P1's to Type R's to 22B's and they hate anything that is not classic, I on the other hand drive a 53 plate Bugeye which I love and is great car, this is considered to be a UFO to classic fans!

I dont agree, I've owned a 97 UK turbo, an 02 WRX blobeye, an 03 STi Bugeye, I now own a P1 and they are all great cars.
This new one is bound to be a hit, it looks the nutz and no doubt will go like a rocket it might just attract a different group of buyers. Lets hope Solberg/Atkinson can fare a little better with this shape.

my god that is rough....mazda/proton/focus...plus a few lil goodies from Halfords.some designers shouldnt be given crayons.lol.

I spent a LONG time seething after I saw the new car mock up. Now I feel like taking my laptop to the toilet with me. Thank you, Prodrive.
