Kind of excited about what the wagon will look like but then again not a huge fan of the front end so meh?

 

[Bru]

There isn't a Subaru press conference tomorrow so I would say no unless it's an online unveiling.

 

[Mook]

Thought I read something about a wagon...internet is never right.

 

[Bru]

A hatch concept is out there and will likely mirror what the production model looks like if your squint really hard.

 

[Yaj Yak]

it's crazy how vanilla subaru has become in a decade.

 

[MikeyLikesIt]

They are just giving the people what they want.

Lemme guess, CVT only?

 

[Lord Tin Foilhat]

Looks like a toyota

 

[torquelover]

Already looks dated. Looks like a step back from the interior in my '08. Hope it drives nicely so it will have something redeeming to offer. Parked next to a Mazda 3 this will feel at least 5 years behind and the 3 is soon due for a change.

Looks like they stole the Taurus SHO wing and put it on a corolla

 

[Bru]

And here's the hatch.

Hopefully more reliable than the Nissan CVT

 

[Lord Tin Foilhat]

And here's the hatch.

Gross it's a Mitsubishi lancer.

 

[Bru]

I dig it. The new interior is 100x nicer, chassis is stiffer, should be quieter. Plus it has the BRZ's steering rack and torque vectoring. Would drive.

 

[Bob Kazamakis]

It looks very large in pics, is it legacy sized?

 

[Bru]

It's only an inch and a half longer that the current hatch.

 

[Bob Kazamakis]

Nice. The wagon looks nice and useful.

 

[YoushallgoFo]

par for the course imo. aside from the flashy STI's, subaru has never really had any designs that stood out to me over the years. the base imprezas are always boring.

compared to this snore-fest right here the new one doesnt look too bad.

 

[Bru]

These are the bones for a badass next-gen WRX.

 

[RedBeard]

I'm lost. Didn't the Impreza get a whole new chassis is 2015 or was that just the WRX/STI? And what does that mean for the 2017 WRX/STI?

 

[Bru]

Regular Impreza redesign was 2012. WRX wasn't on that new platform until 2015.

 

[Bob Kazamakis]

Impreza got a different chassis for a few years and now the wrx/Sti is the same again. Not sure what the point of that all was

 

[IDAFC21]

And here's the hatch.

For some reason I look at that and it just makes me think of a more angular Volvo wagon.

 

[RedBeard]

Ahhhh ok, odd.
