2008 Subaru Impreza Preview - New York Auto Show: Subaru has a problem - its turbocharged WRX model casts a shadow so long and dark that it nearly obliterates any desire for the base Impreza. Company officials openly acknowledge that as a result of the WRX's success, the Impreza model fails to register with many shoppers. But with the simultaneous launch of redesigned versions of both iterations, it's not like the company is taking great strides to shift that inequality. Still, for buyers seeking a small all-wheel-driver, one with 170-horsepower and sedan or five-door hatch configurations, the 2008 Subaru Impreza might be worth a look. Or, given its overly conservative exterior styling, maybe it's best to go directly to the test drive.
