I think the new Impreza is beautiful.

The circa 1999 old look was great; then came the bug-eye design
which was nice but not perfect (to many at least). The 2006 looks
classy. The front grill reminds me of an Alpha Romeo.

If they only made it in a coupe, I'd be very, tempted.

Good job Subaru.

I heard that WRX will get 2.5 turbo engine as well. The article is
silent about that though.


BTW, my wife went to Europe for a few weeks and I was left with my 2002
Outback and her 2002 Impreza 2.5 TS. Did not ride the second for a
while. What a difference, Impreza's handle superb when compared to other
small sedans or the Outback itslef.

It is a 2.5L..with variable valve timing, too.

i-active is on the non-tirbo engines. variable valve timing is on the
turbo engines.
I have an '06 on order and have been told it will be middle of Sept.
most likely. I've heard there are some Imprezas on the west coast
already. I'd expect many places to be ahead of the schedule I got here
in D/FW so , go ask your dealership. Still no brochures and the model
code and option codes were all chosen from faxed documents.

had to miss that. Interesting: we have four different 2.5 turbo engines:
-STI - 300HP
-Forester - 220 HP
-new WRX - 230HP
-Legacy - 250 HP

No, they only have Three.
300hp STI
250hp Legacy
230hp forester and WRX

300hp STI
250hp Legacy
230hp forester and WRX

so is there any mechanical difference between 2 and 3?

According to the specs, the 2006 loses 1 mpg (w/MT) over the 2005. It's also
a little heavier than the 2005.

2005 Impreza 2.5 RS Sedan

Curb Weight (Pounds) (w/Manual Transmission) -- 2972
Curb Weight (Pounds) (w/Automatic Transmission) -- 3024
Fuel Economy (city/highway) -- Manual: 23/30, Automatic: 22/28 mpg

2006 Impreza 2.5 i Sedan

Curb Weight (Pounds) (w/Manual Transmission) -- 3016
Curb Weight (Pounds) (w/Automatic Transmission) -- 3067
Fuel Economy (city/highway) -- Manual: 22/29, Automatic: 23/28 mpg

You'd figure an additional 0.5L would boost horsepower more than just 3HP.
Torque is up about 18ft-lb, but still.. huh?

I was thinking that the new WRXs were going to be all revving up for me at
the stop lights, but I guess it's normal. Something tells me the bigger
engine will make the modders happy though.
