Next generation Impreza ?

[Tetsugen]

Is the Impreza up for a 3 year facelift or new generation this coming year ?

[heavyD]

Not a new generation. A facelift is a possibility but it's hard to say because if you go by last gen this year would have been a facelift year and there were really no changes. If you don't like the current style I doubt it will change much until the next generation.

That's because the last gen was so fucking ugly that they had to face lift it every other year as they couldn't decide how to design a car. This gen is so stupidly fucking fugly that they might as well design a whole new car. The GC only got 1 refresh during it's 9 YEAR run, with the biggest change happening in the interior.

Last Gen was awesome IMO, this gen is ugly, Subaru is wrecking their cars

Funny all the Subie fans say this yet Subaru has never done better than they are currently. Unique and different gets you a niche market. Boring and bland gets you the big market as Toyota and Honda can attest. The average buyer just wants to blend in and have the same as everyone else.

The GC8 had 6 revisions.

I can only hope that the next STi stays hatchback, has better fuel economy, is available in a 3 door configuration and is available with AYC with a optional dual clutch. Then I'd be willing to spring 50 g's

Base price Sti is only $39,999.

There's one here in Lethbridge for $41,699 Seriously considering it.

Was thinking about buying an Impreza but they are too ugly for me to go and test drive.

Uh yeah 6 STI revisions. The car *looks* essentially the same through all aside from the bigger spoiler and such. Otherwise even the headlights are only a very mild upgrade. Unlike the GDs which went through 2 COMPLETELY NEW nose jobs, each one slightly better than the last. But keeping a nose for only 2 years only meant that even they admit the botched the design so badly each time.

well actually, it went from a 4 door to a two door. you can also include the GF8 wagon a revision if you want as well. fog lights changed, bumpers, rear spoilers, interior, dccd on version 2 STi, etc. version 5 and 6 are almost identical though.

While not the most beautiful car ever, the new WRX265 is quite the looker me thinks:

So you want it to be like an EVO? Those items will push the cost of the car up considerably.

WRX265 is a FANTASTIC CAR. Great value all around.

Get a stage1 reflash from Cobb and it'll be even better. I miss mine so much. Can't believe I sold it.

I'll most likely buy another 1 within the year but in Grey Metallic sedan this time.

heavyD, how are you liking your EVO? I'm also considering a Ralliart, good value for the price.

I love it. The TC-SST is so good that I never miss driving a manual and the heated Recaros fit me like a glove. Lancer is a surprisingly big car inside as back seat room is on par with a midsize car. Trunk room on the EVO sucks because of the rear battery, S-AYC & Washer fluid reservoirs (not a problem with the Ralliart or Ralliart sportback) but I've had no problems at all and set the ACD to Snow and those storms we got in December were a total breeze. I have a bunch of mods to install in the spring and that's when the real fun will begin.

What sort of stuff are you going to be doing? Are you starting with power mods or handling mods?

Gotta admit, love the Sportbacks. Great looking cars in my opinion.

GTI not up to par?

[Trini]

The GC8 cars were the best looking in my view and I also loved the 2006-07 ones.
However these new hatchbacks have grown on me.

Max-Boost had (sold already???) a white WRX 265 right and now a 2010 GTI? I'm having trouble keeping up with you guys lol.
