AutoWeek and Road & Track has photos of the upcoming Version 10 Subaru Impreza, and they include shots of the sedan as well! While the previous images by Motor Trend looked pretty much like artist’s impressions and only showed the hatch, now we somewhat have confirmation that this is how the new Impreza will look like, as these are actual photos. My eyes hurt, what have they done to those tail lights on the hatchback?!
Check after the jump for more photos of both the sedan and hatch variants, including the non-performance version.

Reminds me of the Kia Spectra. Unattractive bumpers, headlights, grille, rear lamps.. all of them doesn't blend well.
In terms of design, no way this car can beat the latest Evo. Its game over before the competition begins. Don't know much about performance tho.
YAWN !!!
the more you look at it, the more TOYOTA look became.
SUBARU you are OUT! ….Outdated …..Bad moved. Pui…
OMG…. Toyota Grille and somehow Ford-like taillights…
OMG!!! The Impreza has been raped by Ford and a Harrier!!! Darn, imagine how many people have had their hearts broken just by looking at these pics. The sedan still looks ok, from (and only from) the rear. The hatchback..ewww. The Evo's our only hope now.
Ugh…
low 'wow' factor
omg harrier butt! hehe…
Subaru totally lost it this time. The design is not fantastic at all. I hope they rework the bodykit somehow to fix things "better" sigh …
i seriously prefer version 9 and its design although it has the "flying V" at least its fierce and exciting.
looks like year 2008 will be EVO X's year …
Seems like Subaru is going thru some major facelift for all their future designs
First impression seems to be more boooo then ohhhhh
it's really gonna hurt the sales figure. this is bad. i'll hope they do something in the STI model. better grill, wider wheel arch, skirting and all.
Yup… I agree… not so much of a Subaru fans, prefer Evo and with this version. It's game over for any hopes I have left to be attracted by it.
all those muscle (fender) ….gone!!. its a toyota corolla
wait people.
i thought that sedan is better than the hatchback. a lot better.
maybe they are rushing to do what Ford is doing, hatchback rules?
Yucks…. worst Impreza design ever~!!
arggh… the WRX is a hatchback oredi? how bout the sedan version got WRX ah??? y this time launched two versions ah??? and it doesnt look any sporty enough… very uncle-lish looking car… even for the WRX… eeeyer subaru, wat has happened to ur mind??? where are the golden rims tat u usually put on ur previous imprezas???
i love the flying-vagina impreza!!!
SUYOTA UNIMPREZA
omigod… have they downgraded the car or are my eyes deceiving me. looks like a normal average american sedan. Aiyo…
omg!! dats ridiculously outrageously fugly!!
for me, the flying vagina was the best!!
ouh mann..why subaru…whyyyyyyyyyyyyyy
Looks more of a Korean made Cars…omit the logo and emblems.. you wont be surprised that people will think that the car is from KIA
The side profile kinda reminds me of the current 3 series
not so nice la but of course its subaru la….
after all the steroid body look, they came out with this sh*t??? NOOOOOOOO…..
please tell me I'm dreaming…….please….anyone?
still do not feeling it!
subaru baru..sedan looks a bit better than the hatchback. but still, no impact.
Mitsubishi must've have infiltrated into Subaru ….. OMG
Ok fire the designers now! Well done toyota.. errr i mean subaru! Now everyone will buy an Evo.
Anyway I think iswara looks better. Excuse me while i go puke.
sack the Subaru designers now, before you become another @#$#$^%&* car manufacturer that will go bust!!! dare I say which one…
on another note, surely someone out there can design a better car for Subaru… although technically i do not doubt Subaru's engineering abilities…
Look more like a Wagon than Hatch to me. =/
the car looks lazy, not agressive at all,
it look so american
what the hell happen to subaru designer?This car totally stinck…Even our Potong Gen-2 is good looking then this car…OMG…I bet if in reality Bunta Fujiwara (Initial-D) also will never buy this car…

This is worse than the bug-eye WRX which they quickly fixed with a face lift.
How can they face lift this? The Impreza has to look agressive. It has lost its DNA…. booring.. Not that I can afford 1 in boleh tax country.
At least Evo looking better with each evolution! Not that I like Mitsu…
wahahaha~ ford impreza???
The wagon looks like a Mazda 3, the old imprezas looks so much better than this (bug eye inc)!
WTF… subaru gone bananaaaa…! so are they gonna use this in WRC.. can be the laughing stock!
Subaru has gone MAD!!! Very un-Subaru. Totally ridiculous!
ayoyo…subaru designers have lost the plot…i still prefer the first gen wrx design…
aiyoohh… like this i prefer the bug eye la.. looks more menacing..
and the hatchback, well i think mazda 3 or even satria neo looks better
and when u compare this with the new Evo, *sigh*.. mitsu gona be laughin!
sad cos im a huge subaru fan…. just hope the chassis and handling will be out of this world.
but i must add, the interior looks much more appealing..
What the deuce were they thinking???!!!
How can this happen????? how they gonna compete with Evo 10………? Even NEo is more beauty than this…….! 1 star only……
I still don't like it……..duh…
They fixed the Tribeca and totally killed the Impreza!!! Ugliest Japanese car award is waiting for the launching.
nvm la… wait for facelift.. neways im off to Motor Image to buy d current Impreza b4 its phased out.. lol
Dang… I still can't get over this new Impreza!!! It looks more Daewoo than Subaru! Maybe the designer was from Daewoo…
Naza will come out with its redention of STi ver10 Naza Sportivo edition hehe…
yucky as hell..
same one hv said this car is like for our mom used it to go to market.
Crystal tail lights? Yucks! Very Ah Beng now…

Crystal tail lights? Yucks! Very Ah Beng now…
how bout the saab them….also got crystal lamp..
Subaru's fans going to cry!!!
The hatch looks like a rebadged Mazda, while the sedan looks like of a Korean flavour.. disappointing..
The interior looks pretty good though, eh?.. especially the black interior.. wow!!
yucks… wat happen to impreza these days? totally ugly
Oh my GoD!!!! What are the designers thinking! Toyota mix Ford mix KIA!!!! KIA!!!! Pls no!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Now everyone line up and buy a Version 8 or 9 from me…..
Muahahahahhaa
i love subaru all the while. the previous design makes me feels that impreza is a powerful machine. if we dont pay attention on the design. the performance also can make u feel high and forgive bout the design. but i finally feel disapointed with the 1st impression of the new impreza. but i'll still support impreza, wait and see the performance. i hope she wont disapoint me once more. better give us some surprise on the engine.
very bad
