it doesn't cost them any extra money to make the car look like the concept. But they decided to make it look like the old models

The new 2012 Impreza will be one of the main attractions at the New York Auto Show coming up (starting Apr. 22). I just posted a thread in CAR CHAT on the show.

You're not alone. Subies, despite their sometimes quirky looks, have a very high repeat-owner rate, almost as much as Hondas.
Along with some car-based AWD vehicles from Toyota and Honda, I consider Subies to be among the best low/moderate-priced daily-drivers, expecially in bad-weather areas.

Many people don't buy Subarus for their looks, but for what's under the skin, particularly the well-designed AWD systems.

Tribeca sales, though not strong, did improve some when they went to a more-conventional grille, but it never has been as popular as the Outback.

It does have a 3rd-row seat, something that no other U.S.-market Subaru does, but most Subaru buyers apparantly don't need one, and the new, roomier 2010/2011 Outback is more competitive with the Tribeca's interior room, at a lower price.

this is probably very extensive refresh that does address shortcomings of old impreza... like what VW did with Golf V and Golf VI, so they probably couldnt do a lot more... they just overpromised with the concept.

Back to the topic at hand, Impreza concept: In recent years many of the major automakers have released production versions of cars that are quite close to concept models. It's not that uncommon these days. Of course stuff like trick lights, huge wheels, missing door handles and bumpers and other nitpicky stuff never makes it to production, but that's not the point.

Subpar when it comes to style, luxury, features, performance, refinement, technology.

I sometimes recommend used Tribecas for those hunting good used mid-size SUV deals, because of the value in the depreciation. But I probably wouldn't own one myself....I don't care for the interior, and the dull, appliance-like driving-manners don't compare with Imprezas or Legacy/Outbacks.
