Since I’m sure you’ve figured it out by now, the images at hand are actually classified as spyshots but it’s not exactly what we’re used to getting from that sort of picture.

The full detail available means one thing and that’ll be the proximity of the release at the end of the month and it could also be a sign of Subaru’s confidence in their new Impreza.

I’ve always liked Subaru and their products, but their styling department hasn’t really been to a level where they can stand with the top brass.

This latest 2012 Subaru Impreza is a bit of a pickup on previous experiences and they’ve just went with a simple and dull look that is pleasant, but most of all, not disturbing.

Still, many can go past that, and once you do, you will appreciate the Subaru Impreza’s awesome build quality, refinement and even the fuel economy.

According to the Japanese, even the four wheel drive models can manage around 36 miles per gallon on the highway, something that is class leading.

Can’t help wondering at how good the WRX, STI and all the other beastly road-going rally cars are going to be like.
