Was gonna say I couldn't see anything about them online.

Am assuming they are still using the 150bhp diesel engine and haven't had a bump up power wise.

I will be more to the point POWER BHP more importantly torque

Yup, those will be the interesting figures to hear (esp if they are higher than the Legacy outputs). 150bhp in a small hatch is okay (got a Leon Cupra TDi at the moment) but closer to (or over) 200bhp would be far more like it

there seams to be conflicting reports out there as the what power it will have

Yeah, so far I've seen three possibilities (2 of which could just be complete rumour)... theres the 150bhp output (as per existing Boxer diesels), then a possible 180bhp or 200bhp "STDi" versions (depending on which website you look at).

Would be nice to know if the Impreza versions were going to be the exact same as the other diesels or if they were going to be higher output versions in a WRX/STi "flavour".

Who will be the first to pinch the block and make it in to a big Bhp Petrol build, should be able to take lots of boost lol

Yeouch! Price is a bit steep! I guess that's down to the lousy Yen/GBP value..

I have to confess, the only way I'd buy a Impreza Hatch would be if it was a Diesel.. I think it suits it.. But not at that price.. Hardcore Impreza/smokey fans only.. sadly..

If the price was a little less it may be the next companp car

Actually I was thinking a similar thing, 'cept I was thinking of taking the TDi engine, making IT more powerful and chucking it in a 2dr classic

Wonder how powerful you could make the TDi engine (keeping it as a diesel)... would imagine you'd get over 200bhp out of it anyway, which in a classic would give you UK Turbo-ish power (but more torque). Okay the 0-60 wouldn't be as good as the petrol but once it was moving I think it'd be not bad. Just seems that too many "old people" have bought the diesel scoobs 'cos I've not seen many crashed ones to nick the engine from

Hmmm... As far as "overpriced" goes, it's only about £3k dearer than our Cupra Leon was (and it's 4.5 years old now) so I don't think its too bad (it's still too dear for me atm though... still got the STi to pay for atm). As a TDi I'd go for it, 'cos it looks to have the economy AND the AWD, the Leon TDi does come in 4wd but only in europe (still annoys me that). The looks are okay, I think the hawkeye shape is nicer (as is the classic) but as a TDi runaround I think the new one looks okay, plus it looks enough like the WRX/STi not to look too bad against it.

Although, one thing that counts against it, is that if I was looking for one like that at the moment, I reckon I'd probably be more likely to go for the Forester TDi instead.
