Subaru Impreza Concept at the 2010 LA Auto Show

[Daniyoyo]

it literly looks like a luxury car now...im not a fan.

[jsiszero]

if subaru moved upmarket I could imagine this is what the 3-series fighter would look like...

[psychofunksoldier02]

The design looks nice, but it seems they're going to sacrifice performance.

[matrixloader]

The 2.0 GDI Boxer engine was developed by subaru for subaru and toyotas upcoming RWD sport car and toyota provided its CVT transmission to subaru for the next gen subarus.

[cb7pwn]

FUCK CVT FUCK CVT FUCK CVT FUCK CVT FUCK CVT FUCK CVT

[Rockywaves73]

CVT is showing up in more and more cars....makes me want to PUKE!

[5959512]

its too big, cvt, and a smaller engine.....why didnt they make the 2.5 direct injected. they keep getting farther away from what people liked about the original subies

[seventhson2024]

GOD DAMMIT! This is what you get when Toyota has a say in something! Fuck you Toyota.

[infinitevisi0n]

looks nice but that should be the Legacy, not the Impreza

[tortillaandbeans]

it doesn't look like it belongs in the rally anymore...... :(

[XtremshareGaming]

WHY DID THEY PUT A CVT IN THAT BEAST??

[Kenlowell1226]

Woooow!awesome car from subaro!

[bertito43]

Bye bye rally car :(

[treeman2007]

the new intro sucks!!  change it motor trend or else i'll spam you will talent

[monyanitinka]

I believe, its the best looking car to come out of the Subaru's doors in ages. I dont like the CVT box, its absolute rubbish box but the styling is beautiful. Sleek & elegant yet aggressive. Current & previous model Imprezas had started to look stodgy and hideous (No design theme, no style, no nothing just stupid looking headlights & big bodykits). It was about time. Well done Subaru!

[SageRai]

I am not trash talking Nissan or Honda. I am just saying the sedan look alike and look dull. I hate nowadays car cause I am have trouble telling them apart. All same sedan body type. I just hope Subaru don't fall for that.

[SageRai]

Hmmm I hope that's a legacy not a Impreza. I love the Impreza because first unique look, true some are weird or ugly but it is not like Nissan or Honda accord. Power never diminish over the years unlike some small cars. Reliable like Toyota (before the brake issue ). Awd, good on gas. Three time world rally champion.( Mitsubishi only one). If this is Impreza I hate it

[Delus1on77]

I dont like it

[rokusho7]

Nice, it looks like a cross between a Nissan GT-R and a Mercedes Benz C-Class upfront.

[MrSaxophoneman1]

i like it

[zooyork263]

thats horrible.. aside from that car being ugly as Dr. Phil before makeup, its gotten bigger and i already thought going from the 99 inch wheel base (2004-2007) to the 103.7 was getting a little big... so what they should do is go back to making the regular impreza 4 door more agressive/sporty looking instead of looking like a granny moblie, not make them bigger and increase the hp + torque some

[NemusAurelius]

not feelin the bumper. fenders needs to be wider.

[erod45]

Love the redesign. Subaru's now on the roll. It was downhill since MY 2002, but picked it back up in 2008. Looking forward to this new redesign.

[bertito43]

way too big now the new wrx will be like 4,000 lbs :( useless

[spencermel]

looks like altima. bred with a legacy.

[sspope]

Looks like Ford Focus

[barsy07]

I would be stoked about this, if it was the legacy concept. This isn't an Impreza.

[wideopen704]

looks too much like a buick regal, not necessarily a bad thing but I think it's going too far away from the impreza image...

[sidewayznut2009]

I bet it'll be almost the same just cheaper or more regular headlights and interior overall shape will probably be spot on

[Dingomad30]

Wonder how close to 4000 lbs this thing is.

[jakubgt1]

No more econbox!

[games955]

No door handles!?

[pleasantcrew]

damn....i want

[integgy95]

Goddamnnnn... They NEED to stick as close as possible to this concept. An STi model will look INSANE.. Hurry up and build it!!

[gars129]

Im pretty imprezad lol!

[Biocide201]

omg I came

[kfr19]

The bottom of the front fascia is a little weird, but overall this looks amazing!

[BigDaddyLoveJuice]

i give 7 out of 10 for the look

[manlex47]

yuck.

[eugenestrawberry]

@manlex47 you stupid, that shit bad as hell!

[LoveMyZJ]

I like it; even if they water it down a bit for production it'll still look WAY more aggressive then the current base model, even more so for the WRX/STI. I want to see it in hatchback form!

[itsTiLER]

it looks really big. and please, don't "thats what she said" me.

[eugenestrawberry]

@itsTiLER thats what she said!

[raulrusboy]

Gay...  Impreza stopped being awesome after 2007

[Skyl1neR34]

@raulrusboy true

[Jorvas25]

cmon you seem all Subaru haters, that model is freaking sick! Maginificent.

[65289hioutput]

I DONT LIKE IT MAKE IT GO AWAY its ugly and looks like a acuura and if i owned one id feel bad if i got it muddy wtf are u doing subaru STOP BEING PUSSYS

[bigenginesismythang]

that doesnt look like a rally car at all

[thenuge88]

@bigenginesismythang that's because it's not a wrx or an sti

[bigenginesismythang]

@thenuge88 is the wrx gona look THAT different???

[bboygrim043094]

@bigenginesismythang nah its still gunna look sporty the wrx will lose sale

[fidgetingfinch]

Impreza ins't supposed to be elegant. It's supposed to be ugly as fuck. That's why everybody loves it.

[dukeboy11134]

i would rather blow-torch my nipples off then drive a car with a CVT in it

[fidgetingfinch]

@dukeboy11134 I agree. Start humming a low note. Now go ahead and don't change it. Alright, don't change it some more. There you go. That's what a CVT-equipped car sounds like. Enjoy this boredom for the duration of the car's life.

[MrPS3Wii]

How can you judge it? It doesn't look like a car yet....

[dilawer321]

Goodbye subaru, further proof subaru is going away from performance and low cost, and chasing sales with a good looking more upmarket car, as they did with the legacy. Fail

[NegativeNumbers427]

James mays australian cousin...

[Jorvas25]

@NegativeNumbers427 LMAO hahah indeed.

[dieseldan420ca]

Hopefully the put DI on the STI's soon

[fooolio14]

Ummmm...noooooooooo cvt, they're complete shite!!!!

[hotrodrodrodrod84]

I like the concept. I just can't picture it with a scoop, wing and rally tires.

Compared to the current model this concept is rumored to have a half inch longer wheelbase, 1"wider stance and a little shorter height. So the dimensions really aren't bloated.

If Subaru decides to go with this I hope we see a new 2 door platform for the WRX&STI. A twinturbo H6 and a dual clutch trans wouldn't hurt either.

[hanscholo]

Looks like a Scion TC

[edmaluf]

hopefully the CVT transmission will be an OPTIONAL. keep the manual transmission alive!

[alyna231]

Is so awesome :X

[seomoz]

a subaru isnt meant to be like that. so sad

[alernest]

One more thing, dear Subaru managers:

PLEASE, PLEASE ELIMINATE, ERADICATE THE HORRID UNDERSTEERING the current Impreza has. It is a disgrace compared to the 22B or P1 models of old. If there are people who can't drive proper cars, stuff them full with safety-electronics but don't upset the core layout of a once brilliant performance machine.

[alernest]

Imao:

- Very well proportioned (wheels and wheelarches, much more harmonious with the overall dimensions of the body)

- Very accomplished and original rear: chunky, muscular yet dynamic and elegant at the same time.

- HORRENDOUS front, overdone features, pretending yet not-achieved aggressiveness (what you see is metal that was designed by someone to look aggressive) and it is also incredibly unimaginative and tacky.

One would wish Subaru would build it replacing the frontis...

[xieper]

looks like a cross between a Volvo and a Nissan GTR...

[shinya1215]

so sad impreza from a bad-boy looking WRC machine transfrom into a pussy-toyota looking car with a Subaru mouth mount there

[idiotfieldmouse]

Eh...It looks good...but more so for a Legacy or something. I'll always miss the pre-2008 looks of the impreza.

[Ioanides001]

a subaru which is sleek and elegant? Why would I want a Subaru that is sleek and elegant?!?

[weed46]

@Ioanides001 Why would you want a subaru that isn't sleek and elegant?

[Ioanides001]

@weed46 Because if I want that there are much better cars than subaru. I choosed subaru for being sporty and different not for being trendy or classy (isn't) or sleek.

Besides, this design looks to me like hyundai meets ford and very far from the traditional Subaru design cues.

[scarface1224md]

Im glad they ditched the hatchback design, now the question is, will there be an STI version, and if so, I don't see how they can add any body modifications to make it stand apart from this version. However it is a concept, so anything can still happen

[nick26695]

not the impreza it's a subaru legacy concept :P

[west2401]

looks amazing!

[XenoRacing]

Oh damn they're going back to coupes! O: The headlights are sick but its body styling reminds me of a Honda CR-Z. Tail lamps just keep getting uglier and uglier!

[xxdeathx]

ugly concept.... totally a noo

[shadowtsunami]

looks like a Hyundai genesis mixed with a toyota camry and a honda, i like the 1999-2001 a lot better.

[Marin82M]

better looking then the old one's!!

[bryancarlotabada0921]

it just looks like a somewhat more "futuristic" legacy. just buy the evo! :))

[bryancarlotabada0921]

EVO ALL THE WAY!

[xxxangelxxxxx]

that's a fucking honda with a subaru name. and it's front is UGLY. omg what did you do to subaruu!!!!!!!!!!!1 fuck...

[savage253kng]

@xxxangelxxxxx yeah id have to agree those headlights do look like the acura tsx lights. they need to try harder

[slapaho087]

@xxxangelxxxxx completely agree with you a subi is supposed ta be one mean fucking car for rally and off road but this one just looks like a joke it has no agression to it

[corvettkiller666]

i think it resembles a honda in a few different ways. as far as styling goes...its not a Merc Sclass,BMW M series or something like that so why does it have to be elegant?

the thing i always liked about imprezas was the "in your face",unique sorta styling. i dont like it

[knifipu]

Totally terrible design.

[pedross04]

very nice! I'd love to see how the STi would look like

[AllCityVandal1]

Absolutely Amazing!

[sounddd]

LOL CVT

[citi0rhythm]

i kinda see traces of the prodrive p2

[Ji99i3]

Hey check out the new sonata, woah what? thats a subaru? really?

[bedcap]

*facepalm

hey Subaru remember when you guys did rally, just a reminder since it looks like you completely forgot

[isaiah213]

all it needs is a sti badge on it

[girlmagnet3]

headlights look like chevy volts

[IDannyxss]

yuck cvt

[leaf16nut]

Im not one for Subaru's but this looks like a decent car... The headlights are fuckin sick!

[crammage]

i thought the last (current model) was blah and meh, it lokked too much like the last gen impala 2005

but that !!!

DAMN!! HELL YES!

[Zinizzle]

I WANT THOSE HEADLIGHTS ON THE OUTBACK!

[shamockery1121]

Those headlights are baller!

[fraige2010]

i wonder how it would do in a rally race 

[swazimilk]

@fraige2010 Yea, it sure looks bulky...

[jasonwolffjb]

ahhh mistake on the commentary a bit... the stardard engines on most subies are already 2.0 L boxer engines, with direct injection...whats so new about that?... good cars i agree..and the new style looks cool...but come on subies are behind in the times... they need to update or im buyin a lancer

[KarlowBOI]

@jasonwolffjb go ahead lol

[TheIronTank]

Dammmnnn this looks sweet. Too bad I'm still diggin that hatchback.

[Worrgamesguy]

Looks kinda weak IMO. Looks like a family sedan, not a sporty one. I don't think they could class it up enough to make the STi look sick.

[p10ghost]

@Worrgamesguy That's what I was thinking too, it looks like every other new family sedan. It looks great, but not sporty. It reminds me of all the new Acura's and Buicks. Large, round, classy looking sedans. but that usually means they are heavy too...

[comeradesnarky]

STi?

[pandaboi7]

So sick!!!!!

[unclezarashka]

MOTORTREND ROCKS

YOU SHOULD REVIEW THE S550 OR S65AMG OR PUT THE S550 VS. THE BMW 745I OR 750LI

[xXImpluseXx]

yee subaru's finally taking style up a notch

[msmith32]

that looks great! I hate how some companies make concepts with awesome headlamps, interior, and tail lights like this and then when it comes to production they don't deliver

[flynmid]

The tailights are SICK

[vothry]

Please don't screw this up Subaru. I really want to make this my first new car purchase.
