Standard AWD 27/36 mpg with the CVT (25/34 with the 5 speed) 148 hp from an all new 2.0 boxer 4 Lighter than the last model Same exterior dimensions but with a longer wheel base, more rear leg room and a larger boot/hatch. 4 Door Saloon and 5 door hatch variants
With those economy figures they should sell even less than the current one. With the exception of AWD and I guess reliability there's not much to tempt buyers.
They've got to be kidding. The current one is bland enough but that.... That is something really special. I can't think of any other manufacturer who has made gone to such lengths to turn an icon into a disaster.
The shopping versions have always been exceedingly dull looking cars - it's only when they stick wings on them that they start to look interesting and/or ugly depending on your point of view.
What the flying fk are Subaru up to WRT the Impreza in recent years? I thought the previous incarnation was bad enough but this could easily be a Kia or Chevrolet, bland and ugly (especially the hatchback), an embarrassment to the name.
