Its been 34 years since the debut of the Subaru Impreza and there is NO stopping it
If you own an early model Impreza does it still make you stop and look at it after parking it?
On October 22, 1992, Subaru Japan introduced the Impreza. Today we are celebrating 34 years of a name that has found its way into global rally stages, daily commutes, garage tuning projects and plenty of dream-car lists …… including ours.
First introduced in 1992 as a compact family car to replace the ageing Subaru Leone, the Subaru Impreza established a legacy defined by horizontally opposed Boxer engines, Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive and world-renowned rally heritage. Over six generations, the Impreza transitioned from an underdog Japanese saloon into a motorsport titan, a pop-culture icon and a practical modern car that can take 4 adults (5 in a pinch) in comfort to their destination.
