Default 2008 WRX

Subaru Impreza WRX
Subaru will reveal its rally-bred 2008 Impreza WRX at the New York show, sans the much criticized and short-lived three-hole grille. Replacing the three-section grille is a horizontal spreading-wing grille that Subaru says pays homage to the company’s aviation heritage.

Suspension and chassis changes are significant, with both the 2008 WRX sedan (sold in North America only) and hatchback growing 3.7 inches in wheelbase and getting a new double-wishbone rear suspension. Aside from what ought to be a more refined ride, less trunk intrusion allows for a wider and deeper trunk. Engines carry over with emission and fuel economy improvements.

It's like how they turned the new GTI's into minivans. The new ones are going back to a more traditional sport look which is what I hope they do to the WRX.

The tri-kidney grill really grew on me. This new shitz is ugly! Looks too Chrysler/Corolla like others have already pointed out.

That's very funny, and true. It also looks like the 07 Lexus Is
