Whoopie! Me likey. I saw a WRX-S at the British motorshow, and it looks badass. The hood scoop is huge, the Rear spoiler fits in with the design, and it looks aggresive all together. If you see a picture of it, you'll say it looks like some old korean car, but in real life, it's totally different.

Thats how it should have looked like from the start, much better! Now with 265hp, thats a big improvement over the current model. Lets see if Mitsubishi will increase the Lancer Ralliart's 237hp engine. I wonder if the WRX models in other markets will also get a similar upgrade for 2009?

The car is good and everything, but this particular design has to be the FUGLIEST ever made.

That's what they said about the Bugeye, the Pignose, and just about every other Impreza ever made. Forgive me if I don't take you, or anybody else declaring that this essentially bland and conservative design is "OMG LOL fugly" seriously, because you'll also be the ones pining for it when the NEXT Impreza redesign comes out, which will also be the fugliest ever.

lol, typical German car fan bragging about their bigger engines. I don't really care much about huge engines. most tuners have got enough power already. They don't need it because they aren't as heavy as German cars are heavy and have overdone high tech stuff in the interior you don't really need.

audi better 4wd then subaru? haha, doubtful. If you ever have a chance, take a look at the subaru's underbody, everything is so beefy. Subaru has been solely making 4wd cars for over a decade now, they know what they are doing.

 atleast500hp atleast500hp
Let me get this straight... you're saying the RS4 is better than the standard Rex. At 4 times the price it would want to be! That's like saying the 430 Scuderia is better than a Ford Focus. For my money I'd still take the Rex. Have owned one for years. Love it! (& more bang for your buck!)

Oh, please gag me with a spoon. You could buy a STi AND a regular WRX AND have some dough left over for hookers and blow for what you'd pay for one RS4 - if you're gonna compare, at least stick to apples and oranges, rather than apples and goats. A car four times the price is not a fair comparison to anybody but a braindead German fanboy.

Yes, the new Impreza sedan is mainly for the North American market, but some markets will also get it at a later date. Subaru Australia for example is about to add the Impreza sedan to their lineup.
