To impress? Get Fresh~

And my raving continues....

Granted. The Subaru Impreza ain't the brash Mitsubishi Lancer, but it grows on you.

Now, perpect it with the Beams Edition. (Beams is a hip Japanese Clothing brand who had a hand in making couture out of this cult car, hence the fresh Orange you see here

.)

You may not love-at-first-sight , the new Impreza anyway, so might as well daudy it with a color this insane it's actually hip.

Why not? Go the whole nine yards I'd say!

After all, aren't WRX owners exactly that? A knack for the non-too-subtle?

My point exactly.

Q

Impressive Instant

2.0L Turbo . 250 BHP . Symmetical AWD. 0-100kmh in 5 secs. Tiptronic Style gear box. Large air scoop to gulp air and everything else that lies in its path.

DELICIOUS.

The Subaru Impreza S GT .


OMG. Drove one. Now ...I WANT ONE.

Q

A Better Rival

The Mitsubishi Lancer Hatch Ralliart


The Subaru Impreza STI

... And The Epic battle for Rally Supremacy continues.

Before this, the new Lancer had the upper hand. It's proper notch-back profile and shark like visage has helped shipped many times more copies than

it's eternal rival who went 'broke-back' on its target audience.

The new Impreza is one such cup of tea indeed. And either you love the aroma or hate its after taste.

And sales figures have slumped thus far.

Descriptions like strange and dull are common adjectives.

So, as if to proof that even on a fairer playing ground, Mitsubishi can still do better, they did a Turn-around and churned out a hatch back.

Now that's Sportsmanship 4 u . :0)

Bring it on ! ha ha.

Q

>> Correct me if I'm wrong, but now, the Subaru Impreza looks better.... :P

Impreza.... Impressed ?

The Original Icon : The Subaru Impreza WRX STI (R320 version)

The New Icon : The Subaru Impreza WRX STI (new)

The old Subaru Impreza was ICONIC.

The WRX/WRX STI version is World Rally Championship (WRC) champion bar-non.

Years on years of ultimate dominance over other makes from Mitsubishi (EVO), Renault (Clio) and Peugeot (206cc).

Symmetrical four-wheel drive and thumping turbo. World famous technological tour de force.

I term it :

"A Fusion of Technology and Personality"

It's been the ultimate Ah Beng/Ah lian's Dream Machine. (Not that they can afford one .. dream, getit?) .

It's probably the one car that has achieved Cult status in recent years.

Having fan clubs all over the world .. having morphed by all kind of mods and colors.

Distasteful or othewise. ... :p

Then THIS.

The one biggest Revolution to the ICON.

Past versions were all evolutions of a successful original .

This is The all New Impreza WRX STI.

Love it? It's now about GRACE. PACE. FACE. SPACE.

No longer in-your-face Brash.

Supposedly meant to have a wider appeal. To the now-grown-up teenager who grew up drooling but cannot afford one .... to the wild girl who thinks a Beetle is way too poser-ish. To the suited business man who has the edge and will yawn being seen in a normal family sedan.

Love it or hate it at first sight... it'll grow on you. :op

Not as inviting or enticing like the way its sexy predessor was... but at least... you'd be less stigmatised.. being seen in one ... when you drive up front to a hotel lobby.

Herald the new ICON. :-)

Impressed???
