This is a sales volume car. I could care less no one here will by one.

Well I mean... in my opinion the 2017 sport trim looks better than the 2016 sport trim... I will imagine the 2017 base Impreza's will still have steel wheels and overall just look bland. At least these ones have shiny wheels and a deck spoiler. Nothing says "sport" like a CVT with 7-simulated gears!

A lot of people are saying the new Prius' drive better than the old generation, due to their new global platform and new suspension, so perhaps these new Impreza's will drive noticeably better too...

Mostly disappointing but expected from Subaru. Happy I didn't try to wait to see what they would come with, and just got the commuter hatchback I found most interesting. It'll probably be a good car for the masses at least.

Subaru: no longer ugly, just boring (looking).
I could see this being a hit with mainstream buyers

Compared to my gf's 2014 Impreza, this is a decent upgrade.

Prius tires, good enough DI system and still AWD, Id love to see 40 mpg out of an AWD car.

How is that even possible? This is WAY better looking than the Civic.
