needs the front to be lent up against a wall and some skids droped.

Best way to get rid of that 80yr old catfish front end.

4" lift & some 18's and it would be perfect, but I'm biased as I virtually have a lifted WRX Gravel Express, just have to fit the roo bar & it's done, they just need to stick a spare wheel carrier on the back.

My theory on the sales figures is that Subaru are now selling the mainstream lower spec Impreza models more than ever however WRX and STI sales are lower than ever before... would love to see the split of the figures!

We sell heaps more Impreza R's than WRX's.
I suppose people are worried about fuel prices?

Like the recently redesigned Forester and Outback, the Impreza XV unveiled at the Geneva Motor Show this week gives us yet another Subaru that looks more SUV-like than its predecessor. Subaru pulled this trick off by giving the XV a heftier-looking grille, beefier wheel arches, thicker, more purposeful-looking roof rails and a new, boomerang-look rear spoiler. You'll also notice the little bumperettes up front flanking the new grille.

Don't like the way it looks? Don't worry, as the Impreza XV will not be headed our (U.S.) way. However, you're going to have to learn to live with it should you live in Europe. That won't be too hard to do as the XV ships with your choice of either a peppy 2.0-liter boxer gas engine or torquey turbo-diesle boxer mill, the latter motivator being the power plant that best compliments the new XV's so-so trucky looks.

For those that are interested I just came across this on Subaru's dealer website.
Looks like we should see the car in about 6months, if not earlier.

'We are pleased to announce that the production of the exciting new 2.0L Impreza XV commences this month. While sharing many genes with the iconic 5-door Impreza hatch, new styling and design features position the new Impreza XV as a capable and confident crossover vehicle.'
