  • 77 people couldn't get financed for the wrx

  • just bought the exact same car.... epic for drifting

  • video and photo don't do justice to the beautiful lines and curves of the new subbie. the old one is good but now just looks old.

  • BEAUTIFUL!!!!!!!

  • i like the new desine!

  • @dudekns design*

  • How come did they not beat the guy who came up with the design of this new shape of impreza? He and the puppet who had the authority to put his silly idea in real both deserve a beating with an ugly stick ! Older shape still the one for me !

  • Subaru Impreza WRX STI in my dream car.I like subaru long time and the motto for the company has a meaning to it.EXPERIENCE BEYOND WORDS.

  • actually, poor people buy civics

  • No try used jelopees such as old Ford Buick and Kia which is guarenteed to die fast!!!!!

  • No, the 06-07 WRX STI was the one. The 3 piece grill was FUGLY. The 5 door hatchback took alot of getting use to but the front face of the 08-09 is the most ferocious design. With a price tag of $38,000, the poor cannot touch it!!!!!

  • Man, the wrx sure is an awesome car, I just wish they wouldn't have made it so damn bland and boring looking...

  • I´m telling all my friends that this is the best car to buy. They insist that girls look more to the porsche boxster. I don´t care about that, this is my dream car.

  • @1971ratrace My dream car aswell

  • I think I love the shape of previous model compared with this new one.

  • F here alone and bored and horny l

  • guaranteed fun to drive.

    nice front fascia, but ugly at side and rear. yuck,,,

  • it just isnt right, just like the gtr they should have changed the name. its like if next year they changed the vett into a crossover and still called it a vett...

  • I don't know why everybody is dogging the 08 WRX so much. I love the "sleeper" aspect of this car. I drive one and I got it because of the enginering and the engine not the body. If you like the EVO, go buy one then fix it in 3 months. Bottom line is, I got quality and most of you ripping on the 08 WRX are probably driving around 95 honda civics. SUCK IT

  • They now have much narrower rims, similar to the 94 models.. like 5.5 inches wide (yep).

    I like the look somewhat, but the rims, brakes, and also the cableless accelerator is bad. I like a accel cable as oppossed to the electronic throttle crap..

    Its lighter, but not as fast as the 03-05 models.. i test drove it, it is much nicer, but no where near the drive of my 03 for those wondering.

  • The seats are thinner (cheaper), the seat bottoms that you actually sit on, are now flat. Thats right no bucket support down low. They have smaller disc brakes. also, 2 spot instead of 4.:(

  • Beautiful and 08 subie is like saying pontiac aztec and awsome in the same sentence! Looks like a camry hatchback with a cute little scoop - I recomend that every soccer mom own one! Next year subaru should ditch the awd and the turbo and put the old 1.8l na motor back in it so it gets 32mpg on the way back and forth from the beauty salon!

  • first they ruin the car shape then they take away the gold wheels. sort the car out!

  • Ford Focus?

  • shite

  • i hated it at first.....now i love the wrx sti wagon but i still hate the new impreza sedan...i think its ugly,lol

  • I think it's great.

    Now finally you can drive a wrx without worrying about police harrassment, or worry about it getting stolen.

    And you dont have to put up with tossers trying to race you every five minutes!

    Im going to grab one and put a FP green in it, pump up the boost, with a few other discreet mods and have a blast!

  • I love the new 08 model, I own 1 hehehe

  • it looks gawjus in the wrc version...i dint like the new shape focus at 1st...but now i own 1 and luv it...i own a 1996 shape scooby wrx sti and i love its looks...but wen i do get my new scooby next year i no ill b buyin the new 1...its gotta be as good if not better...looks can be made,.,body kits and spoilers...new bonnetts...mite look odd now but u make it look like u want

  • the car is changed because the 07 wrc could not compete with ford and citroen. Why would you want the old style thats based on an obsolete design. Yeah they looked great but the new style is going rape. dont be mad cause your driving around on a ten year old chasis.

  • ugly......Subaru what have you done?

  • I agree completely, the new model is sacreligious, the have lost the bonet scoop and everything.

  • they made it cheaper so more people can buy it, and u can get the scoops if you want for an extra price...also the 2.5i doesn't look as bad as the sedan

  • i donno what is wrong wit this new look of wrx..coz the new one seems like they have run out of idea.. i more prefer the old wrx sti & evo 7,8&9.. nowadays most of new car looks more horrible than b4. check out the new toyota landcrusier (SUCK)..

  • Amen to this guy.

  • There is NO sedan version of the 2008 WRX and on. That is what sucks... If people want to buy an ugly car with a great engine, go ahead and do it, but Subaru should keep building WRX sedans. Guess they will learn the hard way, and it will come back in 2 years time anyway. Totally a commercial decision, and not for the loyal customer.

  • where do you live? in japan? yes there is WRX sedans but only here in the states. there is no sedan sti for all the right reasons... because the sedan style could no longer win rallys

  • todd lassa you blind fuck it looks like shit!

  • Does anybody know what the song is called? The first song.

    The new impreza looks great :)

  • they finally got it right, its beautiful now too!

  • Looks like a Ford Focus! They've ruined it.

  • Who cares how it looks. I'd drive a friggin wooden wagon look alike if it's a performer. I can guarantee that in person the car is MUCH better looking. I got a 08 rexie myself in the same color but diferent front grill (Australian version). Love smokin GTIs and R32s. All I have atm is a Force Flow X4.

  • The Hatchback version looks so much better than both the old and new Sedan version IMO. The stealth aspect of it is a plus in my book.

  • And thats why im not a big fan of hondas. They have neither.

  • Subaru could care less about the looks and more on the performance. If you've noticed, most of the cars in rally races are hatchbacks. Being a hatchback really helps on cornering during a rally race. Helps them avoid those evil big rocks that always seem to be perfectly positioned to hit the wheels. I want whats under the hood not the outside. The outside can always be changed with bodykits and such.

  • Let's hope Subaru has finally fixed the inherent coolant leak(s) and cylinder head gasket blowout problems they've had on their 2.5L engines since the 2001 model year.

  • I love Subaru, but i hate that bright ass blue lol

  • I love Subaru, but i hate that bright ass blue lol

  • I love it!

    It looks just like my grandma's motherfucking KIA Spectra 5.

    Good job, Subaru!

  • Awesome looking car, the interior and everything else is now up to european quality... not an after thought, hello WRX!!

  • ok so while everyone with the old wrx is getting pulled over because of the really tuner look ill be driving past you laughing while i can still beat you in a race with the 08

  • it just looks shit.please go back to old shape

  • Looks like pure ass.

    Subaru, you fucked up.

  • I don't understand why everyone hates this redesign. The most hideous redesign was the bug-eyes and no one complained, but then again, the USA isn't a prime market for subaru. At least they gave the USA a pacifier (sedan model) to shut them up for the time being. lol !

  • fyi, the guage sweep was/is in the Legacy GT too.

  • fyi, ur gauge is wrong spelling!!!! hahaha

  • hmmmm the new sti looks exactly like my ass!!! R.I.P 04 sti

  • I don't know man. I just Got my 2008 STI and I like it alot. In my opinion it was worth every penny.

  • Yea i got the base model 5 door its a good deal (alot included) not much else you can get unless you want like a ford focus or a MAZADA 3 LOLZ.

  • well i dunno maybe it has more power & it responses better than the old one but everybody has his own taste for me the 04 is the best sti ever made....

  • my turbo is a 1999 model - i've had it since 2001. as usual the new model disappoints. the evo x should have been a scooby.

  • I hope your refering to it's looks. I'm not a fan of the new body either, but on a performance note the new sti is outperforming the new evo. >:D

  • menuda puta mierda de subaru es el nuebo, q pena

  • 04 model was the best...

  • Who the hell approved this design.

  • i agree. the front looked ok, but then I saw the rear of the vehicle. but I am impressed by the new evo.

  • Yeah thats very sad, i regret the 4 door sedan sti

  • so right... i dont know wtf are they doing with the car looks.

  • @shadowfox911 They must have smoked some reeeally bad shit in the Subaru design offices in Ota.

  • I konw im a subaru fan but this car sucks. The old 2005 car is better. The best car subaru have done lattle is the RB320. Now can we have a Marce tribute car for 2008 that would be great tank you .

  • Amazing (not the wrx, get the sti!) how much effort and money the ad company went through to take a picture of the car!

  • i have to say its grown on me but i dont realy think of it as an inpreza. is there a 3 door model?

  • Its like nobody consulted any fans of Subaru's , I own an 04 wrx and I think "ugly" is awesome if I wanted a cliché mazda or kia I would have bought one ... someone needs to start a petition or something

  • Maybe they are trying to make it more appealing to a broader consumer base. In other words, trying to sell more. It is sad that they don't listen to enthusiasts but this is life in the age of corporations.

  • they got tired of the focus rs kickin its ass in rally so they made one to look almost just like it

  • this have to make this the hatchback option cause like this is not the counterpart for the EVO

  • the hatchback is horrible i love the older better

  • right said

  • its horible the older versions better

  • Ugly...

  • I like the lines on the older body better, this one seems too rounded off

  • i passed one the other day in my 03 WRX...i had to look the other way. What a sorry looking thing...

  • what do you get when you put a Mazda 3 and the new Opel Corsa in a blender?

    This

  • it look like a kia cerato hatchback..!!

  • Wow that looks sooo gay loved the older body style but this looks shit

  • "More handsome front-end"? Yeah, handsome only like a mother could love. "Better looking car"? What is he smoking? It looks as bland and uninteresting as 90% of the other cars on the road.

  • It would look so bad if the kept the flared wheel wheels to make it look aggressive. Only the STI has that now, the rest look pretty damn tame. 04 was the best.

  • the fukn subaru wrx since 05" model have fkn suck !!! MY04 WRX ALL THE WAY !!!

    subaru better change the look after this one or no one will buy them...

  • I just did^^ so?

  • First it's the bug eyes... now this fucking ugly piece of shit!!!!!

  • damn,it's a fuckin' hatch,it's like shit,how could they do this??

  • This douche-bag called the 2008 WRX a "cleaner, more modern, and handsome design."

    WTF? Is he wearing the wrong glasses?

    He even said it "looks like a fun car to drive" and talks about the chrome accents as if they're good things.

    What a loser. The '08 WRX is ugly as fuck.

  • lolll okay they changed the design of this subaru wow not good =| they should keep the original design but still make it a hot hatch..

    this hatch is DEFO not hot =) a measily 3/10

  • no "the"typo sorry

  • sucks dick .a rather watch grass grow . fuck the new sti ,fuck the this 4 eye fag

  • i seen this car in person it sucks

  • save youreself the 7 minutes of watching and all the bullshit you hear here. I can summarize this car in 4 words:

    IT LOOKS LIKE CRAP

  • if looks could kill, we'd live forever

  • white people .

  • Its just looks like a big bunch of crap...

  • I think this one looks nice, I have never really like wagons though. I cant wait to see the sedan when it comes out.

    I would literally drive a peice of shit if it was faster than most of the cars out on the street today. Its not about looks, its about performance. But thats just my opinion. ^_~

  • Now I have to change my shirt... I just threw up everywhere. RIP Impreza, Welcome Bodyroll

  • R.I.P. Real Impreza

  • The guy who is reviewing it looks like he doesn't even own a license to drive.

  • i love subarus wrx but this is so disapointing makes me wanna spew its fukd cant belive they killed thier sig WRX any1 who buys this is a wank

  • evo is shit, slower. this one looks nice

  • it is ugly i dont care if it is good for rally race i want the old body man

  • That is the ugliest Subaru ever made. I always loved the boxer engine noise and the subarus power coupled with apparent indestructability. The Evo has been the better of the cars ever since way back when but the Scooby had charicter that made it take the lead IMO ... Now the Evo X looks like it will be the real car to have. Subaru what have you done >>>> Walks of with head shaking

  • yea subaru fucked up after the 05 model.. 05 sti ftw...

  • they look like shit

  • wrx 08 = kia cerato

  • i hate the new sti it looks like a friken kia

  • the evo looks alot better

  • I own a 03 WRX, and if i have to change will be for a 04 or 05 but never an 08, the 07 still looks fine, i just dont like the grill, but this new model doesnt motivate me to buy it

  • crap

  • They fucked it up big time,i loved the wrx sti's but now if i would rather buy the evo x than this.I still wouldn't mind the wrx's from 07 down though

  • just looks lik a mazda 3, gay!

  • My favorate Car.........

  • ... is gone.???

  • Ghey. Looks like a ford/mazda lovechild. Bring back the old style.

  • they destroyed a pretty good car!

    i dont believe :-(

  • what tha hell happened, they just destroyed the impreza, they should've try with something like the "Legacy GT WRC", insted of that thing. that car should not be call Impreza. And the Lancer Evolution OH MY GODDDDD Beautifullllll so amazing and you should look the production lancer its incredible too.

  • anyone know what the fuel consumption is like with this car?

  • Its way too calmed down. AND THE TAILLIGHTS ARE LAME.

  • The 2008 WRX looks WORSE in person than they do in pictures. I talked to my local Subbie dealer and he says that lots of women are buying new Imprezas, but he can't give the WRXs away. Not selling. Plus, I've yet to see one on the road. Anyone who says the new WRX looks good probably works for Subaru!

  • Personally I like the new look, and practicality. In July, the local dealer paraded about 12 of these cars through the city. In person, and driving alongside these cars, they truly show theyre exotic beauty! Also, the hot hatch look is more redisent of a rally car. The lancer wins on looks, yes, but for the true enthusiast..the person who will actually race this car on the weekends, this car is truly visceral...If you havent taken the time to see one yet, DO SO!! 5 stars

  • I think the car looks great when it is viewed from the side and rear but the front end is odd. The grill looks like an old person car while the rest looks very sporty. Odd combination.

  • Holy crap! They turned one of the most unique and cool looking car into looking like just any old, boring japanese car. The new Lancer, on the other hand, has never looked better! I have to change favourite now. Damn...

  • to add-the chrome on the rear hatch is disgusting.

  • my favorite car (EVER!) is the 22B.

    They ruined it.

    It may be better as a rally car, it looks like an egg shaped sh*t-mobile.

  • it's a fucking ALMERA! yeah.. they destroyed a pretty good car.. :/

  • You've got to see it in person, that's all I have to say.

  • it looks like a mazda 6

  • WTF did they do to it!?!?! OMG!!!!

  • I hear you guys! But.. Subaru is getting spanked in the WRC by all the smaller monster hatches, I can guarantee this car will be more competitive in a Rally! the wheels are pushed to the corners the car has less of an ass now, which should make it much more nimble.

  • Wheelbase?

  • hahah, yeah that..

  • Personally I believe that the 04-05 Subaru WRX looks 100x better than this... 08 WRX. Just because it is more aerodynamic doesn't mean people will buy it.

  • omg they destroyed a good car

  • Hey kids lets go to the soccer game... what a piece of shit..  nice mini van with a fucking turbo wow............

  • ugh nothing beats the 04 model, it was much nicer and aggressive looking, this thing looks so blah the d pillar looks like the mazda plus gives much more blind spot it's horrible, European hot hatch it's Japaneses! make it look jap! the only good thing about this car is the back seat and it's still smaller than the competition what bs! subaru you have dissapointed me for the last time!

  • eww turn the lights off again

  • I have an '04 WRX...

    What the fuck are they doing? Seriously?

  • People complained about the old "round eyes" model but at least it didn't look like a hyundai like this one. This one looks disgusting. DISGUSTING.

  • I love Evo's but always respected Scooby's both in looks and preformance, both new cars dont have half the looks of the old models but at leat the Evo doesnt look like its had its balls chopped off! tis a shame.

  • When i first saw this i thought it had a v6

  • shame it looks like shite but ive been in one and fuking hell it goes but its lost the good old scooby burble

  • i work for a subaru dealership and am discusted to sell the 08. i own a 07 and im making sure that i NEVER buy a new 08 cuz its FUGLY!!!!!

  • I'm an evo fan and i know how u guys feel the evo x looks horrible but it kicks this new sti look anyday rofl that looks like a cross between a hyundai and a kia

  • Really glad I got my 2007 right now...

  • Looks like Kia Rio to me...very UGLY!!!!

  • 2 words.....HOLY HELL!!! that is ugly! and I like subaru too but they went TOO far on this model. I loved the 07 model but they killed it now. I personally think the evo x looks much nicer and more aggressive. This doesn't even look like a sports car!

  • This dude, Todd Lassa, doesn't know what he's talking about. The seats are not a "carry-over." The seats are totally redesigned. And they are comfortable - an improvement from the 2006 WRX. Also, rear interior room has not increased. Rear leg room is basically the same.

  • I prefer the old model.. the new model is most ugly than chuky... this is horrible

  • Beyond gay.

    It's a KIA Spectra5 with a Chrysler grille.

    The Subaru WRX is now the Subaru WTF.

    Very sad indeed.

  • subaru...this is unacceptable

  • that is the uglyest thing i have ever seen. i love the 05 and 06 but not this crap

  • more like family car. Imbreza wrx is not sport car enymore...

  • WOW!!!

    As a '02 WRX owner, i thought the bugeye was gonna be the ugliest WRX evar. Guess not!

    Dear Subaru: Car design is supposed to get BETTER over time!

  • THIS FAGS MADE MY FAVORITE CAR LOOK LIKE SHIETY DAEWO OR KIA RIO!!!!

    DONT LIKE SUBARU ANYMORE!

    I DRIVE 2005 Subaru StI MYSELF.

    I LOVE MY STI I THOUGH NEW WILL BE BETTER BUT THIS FAGS MAKE SUBARU LOOKED LIKE SHIET!!!

  • What a lame argumentation!!!

    Trying to sell a cheapass product that really sucks... I feel sorry for this guy! You can notice that even he doesn't believe in the product he's trying to sell!

  • iv loved wrxs for years not the bug eyed ones so much but they did grow on me, but this thing is going too far

    what in the fuck is this

    this is by far the worst wrx ever

    they turned an evil looking and sounding beast into this fucken nana waggon

    this is designed for the grey haired 4 eyed turd tapper thats talking about it

    fuck you subaru you fucked up

  • well, I liked the drivetrain.

  • it looks impressive but it just doesnt look like a subaru anymore!

  • ROFLMFA, all you subaru guys must now bow to my evo.

  • wow the designer should kill himself definitly made it to fit the faggot talkin about it

  • this car looks like KIA on bodykit what the hell is this, were they drunk car designers while makin it ? COMPLETE GARBAGE...

  • "KIA on bodykit" EXACTLY, thats what this POS looks like.

  • McRae´s soooooo mad right now!!!RIP

  • the new impreza looks like wack. they totally destroyed the essential "Look" of a subaru impreza. i love subaru impreza (esp. the 05 body sti spec) over the evos but now im more inclined on the design of the evo 10 since it kept its race car theme but with a touch of elegance.

  • Thought that the WRX at least were to stand out more, even if the everyday version is more plain...

    I think they benefit from having a race-car style model instad of just everyday plain ones. Legacy can handle that, or at least having two different imprezas hatch and sedan ?

    /K

  • nice

  • slap! the old grill style from 95'-01' was their best looking impreza's... ; ; wont be buying a new one unless i can get older clips to make it look like the older style

  • horrible...

  • heyyyy subaru hired the honda designer....looks like a civic hatch!

  • The last one looked better and the one before that looked better and yet again the one before that looked even better

  • This car strays so far from what the WRX is and is meant to be. Don't try to make it more adult, it has never been an adult's car. Its supposed to be rugged, agressive, and quick. Save these designs for the Legacy, not the WRX. Two thumbs down for me!

  • h8 it. thats all im saying.
