[quote=“MPD47,post:2,topic:26562"”] Official pics? Really? What idiot thought a Chrysler sebring grille was a good idea. [/quote] Thats the first thing I thought, looks very similar to a sebring from the front. Thats a bad thing. ---

yeah, that grill is worse than newmans. as for the interior looking cheap, i dont think it does, i think it looks “clean”. thats what i like about my gf’s impreza, there isnt a bunch of clutter… and as long as its not all solid plastic they still have one up on the domestics. ---

That grill needs to be mono-chromatic. The rest of the car looks decent. Isn’t there still going to be a sedan version as well? Perhaps that one will have the fender flares. Interior doesn’t look cheap. It looks pretty similar to the current Impreza which is sparse. I also see they have switched to plastic intake runners. If it’s like Mustang plastic runners, then it can’t handle a lot of extra boost. ---
