2008 Subaru Impreza S-GT

We don’t know if this will make European and American Scooby fans feel a little bit better or not, but from the looks of it, the JDM (Japan Domestic Market) version of the 2008 Impreza WRX will loose the "WRX" nameplate in favour of the uninspiring and meaningless "S-GT". As you can see from the images, apart from the 7.500 rpm redline (US WRX: 6.500 rpm) and the 180km/h speedometer, there’s no other visible difference between the US spec WRX and the JDM S-GT.

S-GT may refer to Super GT, Japan's Domestic GT racing series.

I dont recall any scoobies competing... NSX's and SC430's dominate the GT500 class at the moment. There maybe some Imprezas in the GT350 class.

Impreza GT has been used in most countries during the first bodystyle GC8/GC6. More consistent naming for Subaru would be nice like Legacy GT, Impreza GT, and create XT to GT for Outback and Forester. In a way, the STi should be the real WRX since the World Rally car has 300hp as well.

My god that's one horrid looking car. It looks terrible cheap inside and out.

Really what a shame, I always loved the Impreza..

It seems like the EVO X has gone up bigtime designwise while Subaru is going a bit down here.....

The only part of this car that needs to look nice is the rear, as that is all any of you will be seing anyway. Ha ha!!!

Way to rip off the the lines of the new 3 series, tail lights of the mitsu outlander, and a hatch way to reminiscent of the mazda3...and give a fugly face.
