New Impreza STi Saloon
Discussion
I was browsing through ebay for Impreza bits and clocked this:

Made me think, has anybody seen one on the road yet? I can't see past the lack of the big wing. How do we reckon it will sell...

It's probably an amazing car, however, Subaru really don't have a good marketting team.
"What sells?"
"The ones that look like rally cars."
"We want to move away from that. Remove the wings from the UK version, and make sure that gold wheels and Mica blue paint are not on the options list".
That must be how the conversation which doomed this Impreza. BMW, VAG and Mercedes buyers are not going to go for something that is such a focused, hardcore driving machine, and it's had a big price hike and looks like a dull German saloon, the old Impreza fans (the ones that you might say, made Subaru what they are in 2011!) will not go for it.
I think in a few years time Subaru will see sense and give us a new one that lives up to the old ones.

Agree - I never understood the hatch for similar reasons. In short, they got above their station thinking that they could appeal to a wider market with this model. It’s even funnier that they did not attempt to improve the interior. Very shallow thinking on their part... However, I guess sales volumes and time will tell...
Anyway, has anybody seen one on the road?

I'm kind of leaning towards getting one as my next car. From the photo's and video's they look great in white IMO.
Although I drive for a living.. I have only seen one on the road!! I think that it is the price that is making them a rare sight, but to me, that is actually quite a good thing!

... The guy is a genius...A White one with a wing. I think it looks really mean!

The 'spoiler-less' look has been gaining momentum in Scooby communities for a while. I must admit, if I still had mine, or got another, it would probably be wingless. They weigh a tonne and cause a lot of drag whilst giving no downforce, and I'm getting too old for the rally slag look. I think this looks great.....
