Subaru Impreza design concept video

Design Concept of the Impreza previews the model's next-generation

Here's a video that Subaru has released on the 2010 Impreza Design Concept which the Japanese automaker debuted at the Los Angeles auto show last week.

The Impreza Design Concept is a preview of what's to come in the next-generation Impreza model. Design-wise, the concept is quite a change from the current Impreza. Its new aggressive, muscular design with those linebacker shoulder lines should appeal to the American market but critics may not taken kindly to that new hexagonal grille.

Subaru may have released this concept in order to get some feedback from the public on its new design direction and Subaru enthusiast can only hope that if they clamor enough about the features they like and those that they don't, their voices will be heard.

The next Impreza will be getting Subaru's newly developed 2.0 liter Boxer engine coupled to a Lineartronic CVT (continuously variable transmission). That new powerplant configuration promises greater economy than the current 2.5 liter Boxer engine.

to bad it doesn't take much to outdo the current model... And this isn't so good either.. Just wish they would do something revolutionary..

Yes it is be good looking, but c'mon, where are the bonnet scoops and big wing for the high-end models? Now it just blends in with the crowd.

I like the front end. The back end reminds me a bit too much of an LFA for me.

the thing that made the mark 1 impreza a success was a simple pure design with rally detailing, great performance and handling and rally reputation. If Subaru wants to survive it must return to this original template

this is not awesome. i don't think their design team has any thing in their minds. right now, they are "under" the new hyundai design team. maybe with that old concept of theirs, the "b9" will have an imagine of their own.

Looks nice. It reminds me of current honda civic sedan from the front and mazda 6 from the side (those wheel arches). There is potential to be great looking STI, but then there will have to be those mad scoops and big wing at the back.
