New Impreza sedan

Post by Outback bloke » Tue Aug 05, 2008 6:20 pm

Had a look at it yet? Look here if you haven't.

What a difference it makes when they have a boot.

Hey, it no longer looks like a mazda 3... more like a cross of a bmw and chrysler though.

I think it looks 100% better than the Impreza Focus 3 they had before. Should look the goods in STi trim. I think the grille area is growing on me but it does still need work.

Now i feel sick.

You know when a car has a shit design when the hatch variant looks better than the sedan. The STi of the Impreza looks good, but thats only because of the additional fenders and all. A good designed car should look fantastic over the entire model line up.

Seeing the Liberty might look like the Exiga, i will be sticking with the Liberty now.

It looks better! Not great, but better. At least it doesn't look like some crazy lovechild of a ford focus, mazda 3 and toyota corrolla. Much. :p

Every body should take into consideration that manufactures don't make cars for you in particular. Many like the new design so just because you don't that doesn't mean it's a shit design.

And I don't like the new imp at all.

I know! If they did then they'd be making diesel-electric brumbies!

Nup, still a shit design! Thing is with a trillion (give or take a hundred) people in asia, it will still sell and we are stuck with it! So what if we sell 50 here as opposed to 100 for the last model! When they sell milions overseas we have little say as a customer.

well I dont know if we have no say at all, if it was not for us Aussies having our say about how much we did not like the look of the new Imp' we would not be the only country to have a choice of two grils.
and thats becouse we let it be known we did not like the look of the new Imp.
