godwhomismike Posted April 19, 2011 Author Share Posted April 19, 2011 Inexpensive and built to stay that way. To me, it really looks like a refreshed version of 2005-2009 Legacy, instead of a Impreza. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
godwhomismike Posted April 19, 2011 Author Share Posted April 19, 2011 Paddle shifters? http://i1217.photobucket.com/albums/dd399/brettjr25/vlcsnap-2011-04-19-08h36m28s77.png?t=1303227624http://i1217.photobucket.com/albums/dd399/brettjr25/vlcsnap-2011-04-19-08h36m22s12.png?t=1303227712 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WraithAkaMrak Posted April 19, 2011 Share Posted April 19, 2011 It keeps the mechanical emergency brake. And looks pretty similar to the XV concept's interior, from what we can see (minus the silver bits and LCDs). http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5226/5634508915_8111f92af1_o.jpg Full size here. Look like the 4th gen Legacy's cupholder cover. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

executor485 Posted April 19, 2011 Share Posted April 19, 2011 I'd like to thank the 2010 Subaru LGT and the Toyota Corolla for getting over their differences and doing the horizontal monster mash until till they produced this. No thanks If I pass you on the right, I'm flipping you off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vr4Legacy Posted April 19, 2011 Share Posted April 19, 2011 Looks an aweful lot like 4th Gen Legacy to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WraithAkaMrak Posted April 19, 2011 Share Posted April 19, 2011 @subaru_usa twitter posted a couple behind the scenes pics, prepping for the New York event tomorrow. Just stage pics, no Impreza there yet. http://twitpic.com/4mu5lz http://twitpic.com/4mtq9f Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bsquarewi Posted April 19, 2011 Share Posted April 19, 2011 Paddle shifters? Weren't you listening? Despite the fact that this thing only has a 2.0 engine which loses almost 30HP and 30 tourque's from the current 2.5, this car has lost SOOO much weight that it will be FASTER. You're going to NEED paddle shifters to flip through the CVT while doing your 5 sec 0-60 times. Hoping that there are bigger wheel options. Those 16's look horrid on this thing. Oh, and apparently Chrysler took over Fiat. Did not know that one. Thanks for the info, Matt. I guess I was wrong in thinking that Chrysler went bankrupt and Fiat saved them. People actually watch this "Today Show???" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigT Posted April 19, 2011 Share Posted April 19, 2011 Decent video... Would have been better if they shot some tear gas into the crowd so you could actually hear what they people were saying. Any word on whether or not the next WRX will be based off of the new engine? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pvirga88 Posted April 19, 2011 Share Posted April 19, 2011 It's a Mini Legacy.... Wonder what the Hatch is going to look like... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ssbtech Posted April 19, 2011 Share Posted April 19, 2011 So-so. Headlights could have flowed better. I don't like the split front side windows (thank you you stupid window frames) and I'm curious to know what the dash will look like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
98LGTLover Posted April 20, 2011 Share Posted April 20, 2011 I think it looks good. I'm curious to see somemore info on it. I guess they aren't releasing a lot of it until after the Auto Show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJ in PA Posted April 20, 2011 Share Posted April 20, 2011 I'm liking it too. I hope the next gen Legacy looks more like this as well, although given the size growth, the Impreza might even make a more appealing replacement for the 4th gen Legacy. I'd like to see this with a nice set of 5 spoke alloys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MJ in PA Posted April 20, 2011 Share Posted April 20, 2011 The high-beam section of the headlights narrow, too Kia-ish for me... I like it. It's got the sleek, aggressive look that the Legacy lost with its redesign, where they went overboard with the stretched back bugeye headlights and ungainly nose.

legandrex Posted April 20, 2011 Share Posted April 20, 2011 Front bumper is too squared off in my opinion. Not sure it looks better than current impreza. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
katalyst Posted April 20, 2011 Share Posted April 20, 2011 i'd take it as a replacement for the 4th gen legacy over the 5th gen legacy that subaru has to currently offer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pillboy Posted April 20, 2011 Share Posted April 20, 2011 Ugh. More ungainly fender flairs. It is still ugly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJ in PA Posted April 20, 2011 Share Posted April 20, 2011 Ugh. More ungainly fender flairs. Yeah, I'm not crazy about 'em either. Fender flares are kind of like boobs - ridiculously big and un-natural looking isn't better! Personally, I think this is about perfect for the fender flares (and this is also what I'd buy today were my Legacy to get totaled): http://ford2012-models.info/images/2012-ford-fusion-sport-review-2.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
christurismohk Posted April 20, 2011 Share Posted April 20, 2011 I think it looks great. I have a feeling that the WRX or STI version will look even better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Natas Posted April 20, 2011 Share Posted April 20, 2011 Found this on the web...http://www.ultimatecarblog.com/2012-subaru-impreza-previewed/ will hold off on how I think it looks until I see it in person, but so far I'm on the fence. there is a styling cues from the 5th gen legacy, but a bit sleeker.... 2.0 with CVT for the base...
