They could call it Improve imprezza start IMp and evo backward. Improvo? imprevo that's it's imprevo sounds amazing. Subaru or misti il take offers on the rights to that.

 

Insert dr evil face.

It's ugly, looks dated and out of proportion, I think it's a desperate attempt to win back the rally fans that they lost with the last 'shopping car' incarnation

[GMballistic]

Oh dear.

Volvo, meets Mitsubishi, meets Subaru, meets glue sniffer in "hall of mirrors".

 

I haven't liked many Subaru's since the late 90's tbh.

305bhp, 290ft/lb, £29K.

 

And it looks like that.

 

 

 

Where do I sign up? Seriously, I'd be very happy with that assuming it still has unequal headers.

That's gives I the bob a bob sounds doesn't it?

[GMballistic]

^^ "unequal headers" yes Dblock ~ classic Subaru boxer sound.

I don't think it does anymore .

[GIXXERUK]

Flat four is like a v twin, you can't beat that sound !

[HARMLU]

Saw one the other day on the road. Does look a bit more bulbous than the Evo x in the flesh! Nice looking car and I'm glad they have moved away from the hatchback

[Ekona]

 

I don't think it does anymore .

Serious?! Well f*ck, I'm out then.

Might as well just get an Astra VXR now then.

[glrnet]

They do seem very popular at the moment don't they?

[Ekona]

I keep telling you people, no scrabble wagons!

I came VERY close to buckling and buying one of these before my 370Z.

 

It was my teenage years pulling me towards it.

 

In the end I walked away after sitting in it and seeing/feeling the interior.

 

And yes, it was the white STi hatchback I wanted as the others just seemed to 'obvious' for me.

 

[HARMLU]

hold on, aren't these different cars?

 

edit: between neo's link and marzman's pic?

One's the concept.

 

 

Or you've really missed the joke

Wonder how I managed to see one on the road? They're not for sale until May... Maybe demo car perhaps?

[glrnet]

It was prolly a Volvo

[Ekona]

I did wonder that. Whilst it's not impossible you saw one, I must admit I think it's very unlikely since it's literally only just been launched for the first time anywhere at a car show.

I promise you I saw one, 100% near Coventry. Was a silver one and the rear wing really stuck out and thought that must be the new scooby! Had a 63 plate. I'm guessing a demo for the sales people perhaps?
