For those of you who haven’t yet seen it, here’s a CG pic­ture of the Aus­tralian model Sub­aru Impreza WRX.

Australian Model Subaru Impreza WRX

It’s a lit­tle bit dif­fer­ent to what is expected over in the States and around the world with that grille, and I can’t say hurts, but doesn’t help either. How­ever I think Sub­aru will find most peo­ple pre­fer the old styling cues, the num­ber one com­plaint being the new WRX looks like a Mazda 3 (Per­haps, but a Mazda 3 won’t get up and boo­gie like a tur­bocharged 2.0 or 2.5L). My main quar­rel isn’t the front of the car, but the BMW 1 series like sides. It’s not a bar­gain base­ment BMW, it’s sup­posed to be a Japan­ese per­for­mance machine.

Sedan plus new styling please.
