Those pics. have been around since January, this is more recent, from 4th June:
... from Auto Express, who claim "It's the most stylish Subaru ever! And this striking Impreza coupé will go into production in 2010.
Joining the recently launched hatch-back model, it will allow the Japanese company to tackle the BMW 3-Series Coupé and Nissan 350Z head-on, as well as reach out to new customers."
[quote author=Norris! link=topic=8789.msg104628#msg104628 date=1218292317]thats going to be the rear wheel drive car, havent seen plans for a redesign of the current 4wd car yet[/quote]
Well if the Auto Express article is right (which might be a big "if"!) then "For the entry-level [coupe], the Imprezas four-wheel-drive system will be dropped in favour of a more lightweight and less expensive rear-drive set-up. That will put the emphasis on maximum driving thrills" and will have "a normally aspirated 2.0-litre unit giving around 180bhp."
"But the more powerful car will send power to four tyres to harness all that punch" and have "a high-performance 2.5-litre turbo powerplant borrowed from the range-topping five-door STi. The latter will deliver in the region of 300bhp."
So yer'll be able to pay yer money and take yer choice... (Maybe? )
By the way, Subaru call it AWD, Jeeps and Chelsea Tractors are 4wd... :wink:
