2008 WRX Hatchback

[Superu264]

I didnt think it was a Subaru but the wheels kinda give it away, plus it has the same plate as other Subaru mules

Hm...a 4dr hatch... :-?

[BAC5.2]

Exhaust is on the wrong side. Boo!

4x4 front suspension height and R160 rear diff. Definately a Subaru!

[ooberdoob]

hell has frozen over.

why?

cause i like it!

and if that nose is more saabaruy then i'm happy!

that makes my night :smile:

[Superu264]

looks like framed doors... :smt011

[Wiscon_Mark]

I doubt it is. (framed doors that is)

And honestly, it looks a hell of a lot better than what rumors were passing 2 months ago.

And it's still a 4 door. Hopefully it's lighter (slim chance, but oh well). Hot Hatch, I like it so far. We shall see...

[Christopher Marks]

Those are totally framed doors :(

The rest has potential. Very interesting.

[deadlydave]

the front looks new legacy-esque. bargain basement legacy?

[shazapple]

It looks like a Mazda. Ill wait until they actually reveal it to be sad

[subyluvr2212]

They are NOT moving the exhaust over to the right side... please God no...

[The Korean]

EDIT in progress

[Wiscon_Mark]

They are NOT moving the exhaust over to the right side... please God no...

Why? Just because you're a purist, or is there a technical reason behind this?

I don't care for change, but if they unveil this and it's a 350HP, Multilink suspensioned, decent looking beast, I'll be happy.

Im not a hatchback fan :-?

It needs to be 2-dr-also.

But then it might as well be a Golf, er.. I mean Rabbit R32. We need a coupe STAT!

[bubaru21]

this may be a subaru. i remember reading a while back about how subaru is planning to launch a hatchback impreza in 08.

[Huffer]

^ and turbodiesels in 2010.

Just coz I'm a purist.

I'm already mad enough at the Edsel noses, but the Tribeca has framed windows... and now this???

[Wiscon_Mark]

Honestly, I like framed windows a hell of a lot better than the subaru ones. They're quieter (if built right) and don't rattle all over the damn place. That whole idea that it makes the frame stronger is pretty weak, to be honest, the space you save makes very little difference to the strength of the frame.

wat mark said...and also u never know...underneath those tapes...it may be a ridiculous beast. and if not everything grows on u eventually...(sometimes) plus how come ppl dont like exhaust on the right side? whats wrong with that??

same thing, they're traditional...which isn't bad, but nobody should be angry if something changes for the better regardless of tradition.

[speederfly]

That's the 08' Yugo! :lol: Seriously though it looks like a Mazduh to me too. Rear wiper, wheels, grill all too similar to Mazda's I've seen.
Or maybe they're combining the two to make a Subarazda? Mazdaru? Muberazdu?

[badbasser98]

Im not a hatchback fan :-?

I am!!! :grin:
Damn wagon hugger... :lol:


...Muberazdu?
:smt042

I'm actually quite intrigued to see what this really is...
