The 2008 WRX to harbor a new design
What will the 2008 WRX look like? It is a well-know fact that the 2008 Impreza model is being redesigned. It’s still only rumors and speculations, but here is a list of possible design that you can find around the web.
2008 WRX is not the B5-TPH prototype
At first it was thought that the 2008 WRX would look like Subaru’s B5-TPH prototype. Subaru however corrected those rumors and mentioned the new model would not look like the B5-TPH prototype, which in my opinion is very ugly, but might borrow some of its features.
Concept pictures from japanese magazines
The ScoobyBlog has 2008 WRX concept pictures. The car looks pretty much like a current generation WRX but is more stylized. In my opinion, it is not what the new model will look like because Subaru said they would be changing the nose grille on the 2008 Impreza models and in the pictures it remains almost unchanged.
Hatchback rumors
Increasing rumors on the 2008 WRX wants it to be a hatchback. DubSpeed Driven has spy-shots pictures of the new model which is a hatchback. These pictures however are obviously fakes. They show a VW in disguise, not a WRX. They’re still interesting nonetheless. Note that the 2008 Subaru Impreza is rumored to come in both hatchback and sedan format.
No official word yet…
While Subaru is not releasing much information, it’s entertaining to see all the rumors spreading around. The final design of the new Impreza will probably be announced at a motor show sometime soon. I can’t wait to see the new 2008 WRX model!
