0Video: 2015 Subaru WRX caught testing in US on Mulholland 1370638740

That's all well and good, but obviously Subaru will sell a good number of the hotter Impreza models here in the United States, and thus, it's nice to now see a video of the next ...

Spy Shots: Impreza STI on the road 1190214180
Finally, pictures of the new Subaru Impreza STI that have not been generated by a computer. Amateur shots taken on a public road in Japan clearly show the traditional enlarged hood scoop, butcher flared arches and two more exhaust pipes than found on the WRX. Those grey alloys would certainly be a departure from STI norm as well, should they make it to the ...

After seeing the two-tone 2008 Outback on the VWvortex forums, we think ...

We've been a little disappointed by the looks of Subaru's latest Impreza and WRX, but wanted to reserve judgment until the STi showed up.

There have been tons of renderings and spy shots, but here we have what is possibly the ...

The Subaru Impreza has changed faces more times than a dirty politician, but still manages to sell well thanks largely to a loyal customer base.
