This all new sixth generation Subaru Impreza is an upgrade in almost every aspect and as such is said to encourage all drivers and passengers to engage in an active lifestyle with its enjoyable high performance and enhanced versatility. It will launch in the US in Spring (around next March) and then in some other markets after that.
