Ever since the second generation 'Bug Eye' car was unveiled, the appearance of a new Subaru Impreza had always been a source of animated debate. So we have images purporting to be the next WRX, let's start with how it looks.

'Inoffensive' is probably the kindest way to describe it. Take away the four exhausts, bonnet scoop and diffuser and it really could be any other Japanese, or perhaps even Korean, four-door saloon. The flared arches and big doors make it look a bit underwheeled too. Given how fabulous the

WRX concept

looked, the blandness of this car is quite disappointing.
