Subaru Impreza WRX gets early release on cover of MT



"It wouldn't be an auto show without embargos breaking everywhere you turn. This one comes courtesy of Motor Trend magazine's May issue, which features the new Subaru Impreza WRX on the cover. A member of the North American Subaru Impreza Owners Club received his copy more than a bit early in the mail, and felt he must do his civic duty and share the pics with us, so we link you to this forum post where scans of the new car are currently being hosted (though who knows for how long).

There has actually been much speculation about whether or not these pics are the real deal or elaborate photochops. The forum poster, who goes by the handle gravitywrx, only posted scans of the article inside the issue of Motor Trend, neglecting to include scans of the cover or the article's text. At the end of his post he writes, "If you want the specs, buy the May issue of Motor Trend," which supports the notion that this post is a plant by Motor Trend to drum up sales of its mag.

While we find that hypothesis hard to believe, we do wish gravitywrx had given us a little more. As far as we can tell, the engine and transmission choices for the new WRX will remain identical to the current model, and the five-door wagon has officially been replaced by this five-door hatch. From the pics, it's clear a navigation unit will be an option, as well.

So, uh, whaddya think?"

this thing is ugly as sin omg

I don't see how viewing this car in person could possibly make this car look any better.

Good lord, is it a prerequisite that WRX have to be sinfully ugly? Especially the STi, I guess those have to be the ultimate fugly OEM ricer mobile. You'd think with the new Falken like headlamps they can make something of the new WRX... NO, they had to add Camry bumper and grill to the mix.







Besides, isn't it a couple of days too early for April Fools?

Definitely a Kia/Hyundai hybrid. This car is so hideously ugly, it makes an Aztec look good in comparison. Besides the new Lancer/Evo getting screwed up in the looks department, Subaru is also on the ugly train. Scratch off two more cars that I would ever consider buying.
