“Even though it has the name ‘Impreza’, it’s meant to express all models.We did have the next generation of Impreza in mind. It’s not a precise guide to the future of this model, but it is indicative of where the Impreza will go,” the executive told the aforementioned source.

The chief designer admitted that the company has suffered from a design inconsistency in the past, explaining that the company is making efforts to solve this problem.

“In the past, there has been some inconsistency in the design language. This is really the first attempt to unite the language across the brand,” the designer was quoted as saying by autocar.
