The “Concept” Impreza in the flesh… err… metal?

So the Subaru booth at the LA Autoshow (going on this week) made a presentation on their new Impreza concept. The good folks over at Autoblog snapped these photos:

Now this is NOT the production model so before everyone says “How do you get in there without door handles?” most concept cars are like this. They want to go to the extremes in styling to get some reaction. So far, it’s been pretty positive.

The thing that jumps out at us is the aggressive aero dynamics that this concept Impreza has. Also, take note that the rear c-pillar is low and long which a lot of ‘sportier’ sedans are adopting.

The rear shows more of the aerodynamic characteristics that we were mentioning with a diffuser in plain sight along with vents. Very sporty!

Concept cars are a mash ups of dreamy items and production thoughts… however, I doubt carbon fiber accented wheels won’t make it into production. Notice the rather large brakes borrowed from the STi! Could those make it into production?

Subaru to go green with their new slogan, “Confidence in Motion”?

LA Autoshow is in less than a week and Subaru has announced that they are going forth with their new slogan “Confidence in Motion” which leads to wonder, is Subaru going to go Green? Apparently, it should “Enhance the Subaru Brand”.

Subaru will proactively address global environmental issues and the demands of ever-maturing automobile use. Subaru believes automobiles should be more than just a means of simple transportations. They should also be a source of enjoyment, and enjoyment rests on a foundation of peace of mind. These two inseparable values are central to the Subaru experience. As customer expectations are diversifying, Subaru will foresee these needs with independent thinking and continue to offer enjoyment and peace of mind without losing sight of the essence of what an automobile should be.

When this debuts, you can expect Subie-Life.com to be there!
