Some more info.

'There is an additional 30mm of ground clearance, 16-inch alloy wheels and an exclusive body kit including front grille and bumper, roof rails, roof spoiler and side cladding. Distinct earthy tones are used on the inside to complete the crossover look of the vehicle including sporty bucket seats with mocha accents, stitching and door inserts. Standard features include cruise control, a 10 speaker audio system, Bluetooth, USB connection and front fog lamps.

The Impreza XV will be available in five colours:

so basically this is filling the sub $30k soft-roader type gap that is being filled by 2WD versions of other makes (Nissan, Toyota etc etc).

Probably not a bad idea.

I agree, can't wait to see one on the 'metal' so to speak.
Although I am really excited about the diesel. Hopefully we are getting that model as well, not just the petrol.

Any news on the expected price difference between petrol and diesel for this or Forrester?

You guys still don't get it, do you? Subaru are in the business of selling cars and making money, not of keeping a tiny corner of a niche market happy.

Agreed - and like Nissan (GTR) if they make money with the everyday cars they can afford to keep the tiny niche market happy also.

But surely they can do a better job like this..every car manufacturer has an "edge" they bring to the car scene...subaru seems to be loosing theirs by becoming just another generic car manufacturer...ferrari, lambo, porshe..ect would never compromise "who they are" to make a few more sales..needless to say quality is also compromised when you turn generic..
