Subaru Impreza Coupe coming to the U.S. in 2010

It seems Toyota and Subaru are working on more than just a rear-wheel-drive sports car. According to AutoExpress, the two companies are also teaming up to produce an aggressive looking Impreza Coupe that will go into production in 2010. The project will also spawn a successor to the Toyota Celica.

The Subaru Impreza Coupe will take major styling cues from the five-door model but with a more aggressively designed rear end. An entry-level model will forgo the four-wheel-drive system for a more lightweight and less expensive rear-wheel-drive-setup.

Subaru will offer the Impreza Coupe with two engine choices including a 2.0 liter flat-four boxer producing 180-hp and a 2.5 liter turbo from the current Impreza STI producing close to 300-hp.

This is where you get sad and think to yourself “Let me guess, the U.S. won’t be getting one,” - well we’ve got some good news for you. Subaru is expected to launch the Impreza Coupe in Japan and U.S. in late 2010 with UK sales to begin in 2011.

    nice looking coupe, its got a real aggressive sporty look. And i like how it the base model will comes in RWD!

    I kinda like the new styling.

    Although, a little part of me has died inside…a subie w/o AWD. Should be fun to see some of the kids in my area drive these around when winter hits :)

    Dropping the AWD in the base models to improve price and increase economy is likely a very smart move. Subaru will struggle to keep inventory, just like its competition.

    I agree, the looks are sweet. Subarus sometimes are difficult to adore, but this one is great looking.

    I wonder if we can speculate on pricing with one version of this spawning the Celica replacement. I have a feeling that the Subaru product will be priced higher than the Celica, especially if the Celica is going to continue as a FWD car.

    Come 2010, you will lose most of your Subaru fans if you replace some of your cars with FWD or RWD crap with Toyota! Although the picture of your 2010 Impreza is great, leave the AWD in non turbo atleast!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
