Re: Impreza replacement aka B5!!

key words: concept car
it's like calling the ss the next camaro. (imo only)

near the bottom it also says...
SUBARU IMPREZA WRC 2006 prototype
The prototype is based on the new Impreza, which was introduced in June 2005 in Japan. The SUBARU IMPREZA WRC 2006 model is scheduled to debut at the FIA WRC Rally Automobile Monte Carlo in 2006.

Re: Impreza replacement aka B5!!

Since when has Subaru EVER been able to style cars?

I mean, seriously guys, it's like they leave a chalkboard out on the sidewalk for every passing 8-year-old to scribble on.

Re: Impreza replacement aka B5!!

that is not a WRX or Impreza replacement.
it is a first of it's kind "turbo hybrid" that Subaru has been working on that will be possibly be produced on the same production line of the B9 Tribeca.
I know their vehicles aren't the best looking in the world, but i have seen 10x worst ones. Subaru does sell the hell out of their vehicles and it pays my bills and has helped me buy a few Camaro's and that's all i care about.......lol !

Re: Impreza replacement aka B5!!

Subaru's sucess has always been more in spite of their styling than because of it. This is yet more evidence.

Re: Impreza replacement aka B5!!

BTW, I saw a 2006 WRx at work the other day. I have to say, in person, this car looks great! pictures do it absolutely NO justice.

In pictures it didn't look so hot.. In person, not quite that bad - but I wouldn't go so far as to say great. Just my opinion though...

Re: Impreza replacement aka B5!!

well, its more of a matter that in pictures, I hated it. I was disgusted by the new front end, the tail lights looked wrong, it just overall looked horrid to me in pictures. to have it be actually appealing in person makes it great compared to the pictures.
