Subaru Impreza Coupe!
Subaru’s Impreza Coupe turns on the style and guns for German rivals

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.
The car has been developed as part of a joint venture with Subaru owner Toyota – the project will also spawn a long-awaited successor to the Nineties Celica. The Impreza coupé takes styling cues from the five-door model, but gets a rakish rear end. That gives it a chunky yet athletic appearance which stands out from the crowd.
Power will come from a choice of two engines, both employing the flat-four boxer layout for which Subaru is famous. There’s a normally aspirated 2.0-litre unit giving around 180bhp, or 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.
For the entry-level machine, the Impreza’s 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. But the more powerful car will send power to four tyres to harness all that punch.
The newcomer will go on sale first in Japan and the US, and could arrive here in the UK in 2011. In entry-level guise, it’s set to cost around £20,000, with the flagship priced at £25,000.
In a related story, Nissan is working on an affordable rear-wheel-drive coupé to sit below the 350Z. The Silvia replacement will go on sale in 2010.

Calm down guys, this is obviously a rendering based on the previous photos of the ‘08 STi. Winding road has an article on actual spy shots of the test mule @ http://news.windingroad.com/body-stylesmarket-segment/coupes/spied-first-ever-look-at-toyota-subaru-rwd-coupe/

[…] is a blog about 2010 impreza coupe ? Subaru Impreza Coupe! | Subaru News, Articles, Road Tests, Test Drives, Comparisons, Concepts, Pho… I am not so sure that SUbaru will touch it until 2010. Maybe some minor changes to fix the paint […]
Subaru Impreza! It’s a really stylish car.
The best look for subaru from 2006-2008,subaru for ever isa
Do RWD for Toyota, and AWD for Subaru, and dont forget the WRX version with 260 hp and 265 lb ft. of torque !!!!!!!!! Doing a RWD for Subaru is sac -religious, it’s all about the AWD performance !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Otherwise bring it on !!!!!!!! Can’t come soon enough !!!!!!!!!!!
This looks like a family SUV…. hyundai?
subaru australia is getting the impreza sedan!!! look at www.subaru.com.au. !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! cant wait!
The 2 door looks awkward to me. I wonder how much of a weight difference there will be between the 2 and 4 door models. I do not agree with the RWD a Subaru needs AWD!
It looks very powerful!
We can just hope Subaru will make car similar to this rendering!
The 2 door looks awkward to me.
“It’s the most stylish Subaru ever! And this striking Impreza coupé will go into production in 2010.” lol, are you blind. it looks like shit. old subaru was nice looking. New one sucks ass. Admit it, Evo is better
Evos are the least reliable cars ever. Maybe the looks and the figures are very charming but sti’s won so many more world championships than evos. Evos are also more expensive and too rough to use every day. Apperently you have a much different taste in cars than me because I think this concept looks absoloutly stunning and gorgeous.
As owner of the last coupe impreza that subaru produced 2001 Subaru 2.5 rs coupe, i must agree with HKS. You are all blind. This car is hideous. The impreza destruction that began with the 05′ front end continues with the 08′ model which looks like a focus if you get the hatch and looks like a camry if you get the sedan. The front end looks like a happy face. So lame. Im gonna get an evo even if i have to sacrifice performance because i wouldnt be caught dead in a subaru impreza made from 08′ on.
What a dreadful car, over designed
Bring back the 2004 model ie. the WR1
“The Best Subaru Ever” as a two door coupe.
I would love to set all the new impreza’s on fire and start again.
They have killed off the real imprezas as far as myself and my mates are concerned
They should have called the thing something else, shopping cart maybe
And it gets bad reviews everywhere Top gear/fifth gear/pulling power
What has gone wrong at subaru
Looks like there will be more Evo and Skyline sales
is this site not active anymore? i come on it everyday of the year, but it hasnt showed subarus new news?
Hi,
it is the excellent car. It looks stylish.
It looks like a combination of the 08 Sti and the GC8 impreza. It’spure sex, its beautiful
I’m sorry for disappointing you guys but the picture is a modified image of a Vauxhall Astra. Look carefully and you will see Astra lines. Also notice how the license plate says VXL. Oh just how much I wish that that was the actual thing. It just looks brilliant.
