Subaru is looking to turn the Impreza back into a contender for class honours in the ultra-competitive high-performance family car market. These spy shots reveal a new Spec C version of the flagship STi. Previously, Spec C evolutions of the Impreza have been officially available solely in Japan, and have only made their way to the UK in small numbers as grey imports. However, with the launch of th

At some point in our recent automotive history, all wheel-drive (AWD) replaced front wheel-drive as the paranoid consumer's drivetrain of choice. The safety advantages of high quality snow tires (as needed) and a low center of gravity (in all cases) got lost in translation. Ready to capitalize on the AWD's popularity: the economy-oriented Toyota Matrix and the Subaru Impreza. Both diminutive scra

Come the year 2020, new cars and light trucks sold in the U.S. must average 35 mpg. It’s the law. But why wait? We’ve rounded up eight new models that deliver a 35-mpg average right now, more or less, according to federal Corporate Average Fuel Economy (CAFE) calculations.
Reality check: Although the Congress has mandated 35 mpg, our tests show that 35-mpg cars get 25 to 27 mpg in the real world. Close enough for government work? Well, yes, but there is a solid logic at work here. CAFE is a regulatory process first and foremost, and CAFE mpg comes from laboratory tests designed to reliably measure mileage for regulatory purposes. Any resemblance of your mileage to CAFE is purely coincidental.
But there is a payoff. The government tests are extremely reliable in producing the CAFE milea

Toyota and Subaru are joining forces to develop a sensational new sports coupé together, shown above in an Autocar image.An inside source revealed top-secret sketches, showing that the car’s brief is to be compact, lightweight, rear drive and fast. Although the Subaru and Toyota versions of this coupé will look different from one another around the front and rear, both will be powered by Subaru’s 2.0-litre flat four engine, making this the first time that a Subaru boxer engine has powered a Toyota.A naturally aspirated version of the petrol boxer engine with 175bhp is being considered for the base model, and there is potential for a hot 2.5-litre turbocharged model later.This will be a car inspired by the classic rear-drive AE86 Toyota Corolla GT coupé from the 1980s, a car known fo
it depends on how much you are intending to mod either one. if youre going to get the car and not mod it at all, then the subaru sti would kick ass every single time, but you'd be better off getting an evo. however if youre going to mod the shit out of the car and want to run 9's with it, you would want the civic, but youre going to get beat by any evo with more than 3,000 in the engine.

A new generation of the Subaru Impreza WRX STI will be making its world debut on October 24 at the 40th Tokyo Motor Show in Japan. The new Impreza is a product of Subaru Tecnica International (STI).
In a press release, the new all-wheel drive Impreza WRX STI is said to get new performance parts to give more power and great handling. It will be launched at the eve of Subaru Tecnica International’s 20th anniversary in April 2008. Its design was made to win FIA World Rally Championship in future seasons
STI model versions started back in 1994 when the first STI version of the Impreza was released with 250 PS @6500 rpm engine and weighed in at 2,650lb. STI made this vehicle to win the WRC. Since then the Subaru World Rally Car has been based on the turbo WRX model.
Based in Mitaka, Tokyo, Subaru Tecnica International inc. and is a wholly owned subsidiary of Fuji Heavy Industries Ltd.
Founded in 1988, STI was tasked to enhance Subaru’s motorsport activities including the WRC. Th
The totally redesigned Subaru Impreza WRX STi was officially released by Subaru yesterday. After a trio of teasers released throughout the month and the month before, Subaru decided to turn on the lights in their photo studio for the complete release of the highly-anticipated car. The new WRX STi is all-wheel drive just like its 4-door predecessor.
The nee WRX STi is powered by an exclusive 2.0L
The wait is finally over. Subaru has released official photos and initial info on the new JDM-spec Impreza WRX STI. Details remain scant, however, as Subaru only tells us that the new STI is powered by a 16v 2.0L boxer with a twin-scroll turbo mated to a 6-speed manual. SI-DRIVE, multi-mode Drivers Control Center Differential (DCCD) and Vehicle Dynamics Control (VDC) are also standard. All of these things have been widely speculated on and/or reported already. Specific power numbers are conspicuously absent, so we'll have to wait for the rest of it when the car bows in Tokyo in a couple of weeks. Based on what's already been leaked, look for 304 horses and 311 lb-ft of torque in the Japanese-market model. What's no longer a mystery is the car's appearance, which is muscular and aggressive -- a huge improvement over the base WRX.[Source: Subaru]
Subaru has released the second teaser image of the new Impreza WRX STi, showing the rear-end of the anticipated car. The Impreza WRX STi is set to be unveiled at the Tokyo Motor Show this month. The car is said to be powered by a 2.5L 4-cylinder turbo, producing an excess of 300 horsepower. It is speculated the car will do a 0-to-60 time of only 4.5 seconds. From this image, we can tell Subaru
Em estratégia muito utilizada atualmente na internet, a Subaru divulga foto bem "escurecida" do novo Impreza WRX STi, de tal maneira que não exiba todos os detalhes da nova versão. Deste modo, pretende causar uma maior e melhor expectativa quanto ao lançamento. A princípio, percebe-se que o carro ficou mais musculoso, com paralamas e pneus mais largos além de outros detalhes como ponteiras duplas do escapamento e lanternas com lentes incolores. Só espero que tenham feito um trabalho mais agressivo, também, na dianteira...
Although you only can see the 2008 Subaru Impreza WRX STI completely debut on 2007 Tokyo Motor Show next month, here we give out the first official image of the 2008 Subaru Impreza WRX STI.Clearly seen is the 2008 Subaru Impreza WRX STI’s new hood scoop and pumped fenders as well as the new front bumper, which contains a pair of fog lights and side vents. Previous spy shots of the car revealed an integrated rear-diffuser and a quad-exhaust tailpipe arrangement at the rear.Most sources agree the new Subaru STI will develop up to 300hp (224kW) and 450Nm of torque from its turbocharged boxer engine.There’s no word if STI engineers will be able to match Mitsubishi’s new Evo with their own dual-clutch gearbox. The U.S. market is expected to receive a 2.5L engine while Japan and Europe will make do with a 2.0L mill.Recent Posts of Global Auto/Motor Show:+ Volkswagen Dieselution Tour Educating U.S Consumers Greener Technology+ Toyota’s Lexus May Add More Powerful Hybrids+ Mitsubishi L

Set to debut in Tokyo next month, the next-generation Subaru Impreza WRX STi has undergone years of hefty testing at the renowned Nurburgring track. Based on the new Impreza Hatchback, the new WRX STi will once again do its best to triumph the also recently launched Mitsubishi Evo X. While the Evo stays in its sedan form, the new STi will most likely stay as a hatchback. However, that's not
Though Subaru engineers took careful measures to ensure their Impreza WRX STi tester wasn't spotted en route to the Nurburgring or at the track's staging area, eventually the car cover had to come off. It appears Subaru engineers were forced to unveil the production body of the new STi in order to test how the final form affects cooling. Though we just showed you this official teaser shot of the STi, these spy shots show the car outside in perfect light where every detail of the new design is cleary visible. Aside from some black tape, the blue STi underneath is practically naked. Note what appear to be air extractor vents or intake scoops on the sides of the front bumper, a design element we weren't entirely aware of before. We can also clearly see the rear wing now, which is less ostentatious than we were hoping. The STi has always been known for sporting an obnoxious rear wing, but it looks like that tradition will end with the 2008 model.

I like Subaru in general because they have a reputation for marketing directly to women and gay people, and I think that’s important. (I also like them because of their standard AWD, and excellent mileage, and the fact that the Forester is one of the few compact SUV’s that really does fit in a compact parking space.)
For this week’s Media Monday, we give you a look at the 2008 Subaru Impreza ad.

The all-new WRX is bigger and roomier—and lighter. (There’s a new base Impreza, too.)
Six years ago, when we first looked deep into its big, round bug eyes, we fell hard for the WRX, the ’roided-up version of the basic-transportation Subaru Impreza. Yes, we were smitten, and we emoted to the tune of two consecutive 10Best awards. But something’s gone sour. The WRX hasn’t aged well, particularly on the inside, and these days there’s a bunch of younger, hotter models we’d rather make a mixtape for, like the VW GTI and the Mazdaspeed 3. But the WRX has been calling us again—it’ll be different this time, I swear, it says—in hopes of rekindling the flame with an all-new 2008 version.
Holy bejeebus—what happened to its face?
The ’08 WRX will again be offered in two body styles, a sedan and a five-door. The five-door looks more like a traditional hatchback this time around, so fans of the old wagon might be disappointed
Subaru is guaranteeing customers exceptional value from the final-edition versions of its iconic Impreza 2.5 WRX saloon and Sports Wagon. Called GB270, the last-of-the-line current Impreza offers around £7,600 in extra equipment for the saloon and just under £7,000 for the Sports Wagon. Both models cost £22,995 on-the-road – only £2,898 and £1,898 more than the standard Impreza WRX saloon and Sports Wagon respectively. Named after Rally GB – Subaru’s most successful WRC stage – and the 270 PS the Prodrive-uprated engine produces, the GB270 models can be ordered from July 10 with first deliveries planned for September 1. Numbers will be strictly limited to 300 for the Impreza GB270 saloon and 100 for the Sports Wagon.Both models benefit from the 270 PS Prodrive Performance Pack which boosts power by 40 PS and torque by a staggering 74 lb ft to 310 lb ft. The result is a 0-60 mph time reduced from 5.9 to 5.3 seconds and a 0-100 mph time of 13.9 instead of 14.4 seconds. Mid-r

DescriptionSpecific: Front Lip SpoilerFRP General: -Front Spoilers are the first point to receive airflow resistance; the design of the front spoiler determines the final handling of the vehicle. The GRACER front spoilers are designed to reduce airflow going beneath the vehicle and also direct air to critical areas such as the radiator and intercooler.While driving air turbulence occurs around the front tire, this turbulence can disturb airflow all the way to the back of the vehicle, where it can reduce the function of the rear spoiler. The GRACER Side Skirt is designed to smooth out the air turbulence towards the back of the vehicle, to achieve safe handling of the vehicle.The GRACER Rear Spoiler is not just another cosmetic rear spoiler, in addition to enhancing the appearance of the vehicle it was also designed to be extremely functional. GRACER Aero Kits are designed to give maximum down force and airflow effect to maximum performance form the original body style.
This doesn't come directly from Subaru's own mouth, but courtesy of a hullabaloo Subaru dealer, we bring you the leaked official pricing of the new Impreza and the WRX. The base 2.5L Impreza is set for a starting suggested MSRP of $16,995, a grand less than the outgoing 2.5i model. The higher-end WRX, which comes standard with a turbocharged 2.5L boxer-four with 224hp, will start at $24,350 for the sedan and $24,850 for the better-looking hatch. The base 2007 WRX Sedan cost $24,995, which means its replacement is $645 less.Also in the line-up is the Outback Sport variant of the hatch, which will be priced from $19,995.

TOKYO — The new Subaru Impreza WRX goes on sale in Japan this week as a late 2007 model, and already a few details have emerged about the high-performance STI version, which won't be officially revealed until the Tokyo auto show in October.The Subaru Impreza WRX five-door hatchback (known as the Impreza S-GT in Japan) features a turbocharged 2.0-liter version of the Subaru boxer-4, and it produces 248 horsepower at 6,000 rpm. When this car is introduced to the U.S. this fall as a 2008 model, it will have a 2.5-liter iteration of this engine that produces about 225 hp and 226 pound-feet of torque.The high-performance 2008 Subaru WRX STI is expected to remain under cover until the Tokyo auto show, but already a few key facts have been leaked.As expected, the STI engine will be calibrated for about 300 hp and 295 lb-ft of torque. It will be available only with Subaru's current six-speed manual transmission. Subaru is giving up a slight edge in technological wonderment to the 2008 Mits
CARSCOOP's recent article gave us more hope that Subaru might've listened to countless Subie fans regarding the atrocious grille they patched onto the new WRX. Days after the Impreza had its initial debut at the Big Apple, we were brought to a few grainy, low-res shots of the new Impreza wearing custom wheels and a thousand times better grille. We were on the edge on whether it was the STi model or a miraculous last-minute grille makeover.A Subaru fan posted up fairly good images of the new Impreza at a racing event in Hollywood, wearing the new grille. The WRX hatch was spotted at an ESX (Easy Street Motorsports, a tuner for Subaru) meeting in Hollywood, wearing New Jersey plates and being driven by Subaru USA representative, Garrick Goh. The new grille in these shots improve the look of the whole car abundantly. Could it be that this is the chosen grille for the new Impreza WRX after all? Follow the jump to view more shots.

The S204 is a limited edition model of which only 600 have been manufactured for the Japanese market. Five of them will also go to the New Zealand's Subaru enthusiasts.This high performance version of the already shatteringly fast standard Impreza WRX STI has an extra 39 bhp to take its peak power to 320 bhp at 6400 rpm, a 14 percent increase. Torque has risen to 319 lb-ft at 4,400 rpm, a 10.5 percent increase over the 289 lb-ft of the standard Japanese 2.0-liter Impreza WRX STI (U.S.-spec Impreza WRX STI features a 2.5-liter engine).Available with a six speed gearbox and adjustable centre differential for the All Wheel Drive transmission, the S204 is available in silver, black and blue and will sell for 74,990 New Zealand dollars (about 47,000 US dollars).There are numerous specification differences between the S204 and the standard Impreza WRX STI.Externally there is a unique carbon-fibre front splitter and boot mounted rear wing to complement the side sills.

UPDATE: Images of base hatchback trim added.We're still doing our best to give the new 2008 Subaru Impreza a fighting chance in the realm of public opinion after an unflattering session with Motor Trend's photographer set it off on the wrong foot. Today we bring you the first shots of the 2008 Subaru Impreza WRX sedan, which again moves the approval meter a bit more to the positive side. The front end is virtually the same as the five-door hatchback's with an obscenely large intake and matte grille flanked by bits of chrome. The sedan, however, appears more balanced than the five-door hatchback without all of that bulk over the rear wheels. That said, even these new images of the five-door hatch make the car look much better than those first pics, particularly the interior that's shown in a handsome two tone with silver accents.[Source: Autoblog via Autoweek]Continued- Article, more imagesIt's no doubt been a rocky debut for the 2008 Subaru Impreza WRX, but the real test will be h

L’anticipazione di qualche giorno fa sulla nuova Suabru WRX non era una bufala. Purtroppo. Dobbiamo arrenderci all’idea che la nuova Subaru è cambiata, non è più quell’auto sportiva quasi identica esteticamente (e poco meno potente tecnicamente) all’auto che corre nel campionato mondiale Rally. La nuova Subaru è un’auto da strada, con lo spirito da corsa ma un’auto stradale e basta. Al Salone di New York ci saranno le WRX, dotate del solito boxer 2.5 da 225Cv ed alcune modifiche non ancora dichiarate alla trasmissione. (more…)

Our vague knowledge of the new Impreza consisted of it being in a hatchback form, instead of the traditional sedan form it followed, and that it will debut next month in the Big Apple. Well, just like a member of CarSpyShots.net who scanned the glory pics on the web stated, the cat's out of the bag.[Source: CarSpyShots.net]Continued- Article, more imagesOn the latest issue of Motor Trend which just reached the subscribers, and has yet to reach the newsstands, the official pics of the new Impreza have been published. As our guesstimates have pointed to, the new Impreza, which will only come in WRX and STi form, will consist of a hatchback variant only. Specs and features have not been released yet, but pictures are worth a thousand words and they were enough to give us a clear thought that Subaru has done its job well. The interior seems to be leaning towards the generic si
Here's one last look at a Subaru Impreza prototype before its make its official debut at the New York Auto Show in a few months. Subaru gave us a big clue with the showing of their B5 concept, and the Impreza and WRX models are following the B5's lead with a dramatic makeover which turns its trunk into a hatchback! Yes, that's right: The Impreza, as seen here, will be a hatchback when the new model makes it's debut for the 2008 model year! Just like the B5 Concept.

We hear there's a new multi-link independent rear suspension under both the hatchback and the sedan.The 2008 Subaru Impreza WRX STI will be a hatchback, just like the 2007 Subaru WRC rally car. The intercooled and turbocharged, 2.0-liter flat-four engine will produce 300 horsepower, although the engi
The 2008 Subaru WRX is the U.S. pistonhead's cheap thrills with no frills poster child. Meanwhile, the Impreza. Yes, I know: a Subaru without a turbo is like a Mercedes without automatic climate control, but hey, normal people drive cars too. When you move away from turbo-nutter wastegate wonderland, the word “thrills” takes on a different meaning. Or does it? Sans blower, does the new entry level Impreza have what it takes to tickle the fancy of a wider audience?
At some point in our recent automotive history, all wheel-drive (AWD) replaced front wheel-drive as the paranoid consumer's drivetrain of choice.
