It’s not bad, but I still prefer the older imprezas… pretty much ANY of the older ones look better imo.

I’ll agree with you…

THe 1998 RS 2-door will always be my favourite (when done to the tits WRC spec)

Eww… a Chrysler Sebring hatch.  
Either way, I’m sure it’ll grow on me, I hated the new front end when the prev gen got revised at first, and now I really like it.

The whole thing looks great except for the bubbleback and tails in my opinion, a shame they did that actually.

It’s nice, but why did they put an X3/X5 rear end on it?

555 was the old name of the SWRT (subaru world rally team)

State Express 555 was a brand of cigarettes and the team’s title sponsor

it was dropped in like 2001 or some shit
