Looks good, though I don't like the chrome surrounding the grille.

I must add, the extreme slope of the rear hatch doesn't seem to make it look any more practical than the sedan...

I didn't think it was possible for the new Impreza to look even crappier by comparison but I was apparently wrong.

That said, I don't see us getting this.

Pity; we really need to balance out the number of hideous new Imprezas on the road.

Concur...isn't the whole point of having a hatch so that you can fit some more stuff in it??

Looks great tho...

Too bad they didn't go with a more useful shape, but at least they're serious about making a hatchback.

A hatch will still open up much larger than a trunk, regardless of the slope. If you fold the seats down, you can fit items in the back that would be impossible in a sedan, like bicycles.

I could fit a mountain bike in my old Camry with the rear seat folded down, so that's nothing special.

But I understand your point. But it does seem quite a bit less practical than my 3s Hatch due to the slope.

they need to re-think the LED styling, but i like the shape of the car.

It looks horrible! To bad, 'cause I was really looking forward to it...! Looks like an uglier Focus (Europe). 95% of the Lancer sold here in Sweden will be hatchbacks, so I'll guess I might get used to the design...

It's just for the concept. The Evo X concept had the LED stuff too, but it's gone on the production model.

The proportions look completely wrong. Way too much overhang, and either a grossly huge body or weirdly puny wheels -- I can't tell.

Gee everyone one wants a piece of the Hatchback pie. In some ways it looks like the Subaru STI.
