The all-new Impreza is the most important model that Subaru needs to market in the US right now, but the Japanese automaker appears to have hit a snag. The company has issued an official memorandum to all of its dealers last week, ordering them to stop selling the 2012 Imprezas as well as certain 2012 Legacy and Outback units, according to Carbuzz.
Subaru of America has reportedly "received a limited number of reports of intermittent excessive brake pedal travel in 2012 Impreza models built through November 15 as well as 2012 Legacy and Outback models built between October 27 and November 23," adding that "drivers have reported their concerns about greater than normal brake pedal travel."

So basically, there might be a serious brake issue right now, and it’s simpler to fix the cars on the lot, but they will have to order parts before they can start the actual recall.

Mihnea's favorite cars have already been built, the so-called modern classics from the '80s and '90s. He also loves local car culture from all over the world, so don't be surprised to see him getting excited about weird Japanese imports, low-rider VWs out of Germany, replicas from Russia or LS swaps down in Florida.
