2024 Subaru Impreza 🤟🤟

[savageonwheels]

2024 Subaru Impreza RS

Subaru's high-value hatch now offers more power, a better interior, quieter ride and standard AWD.

AWD Impreza hatchback upgrades power, interior, fun factor … Whoa Nelly! Subaru has gone and upped its entry-level game with its new 2024 Impreza RS hatchback. Honda, Hyundai, and Mazda best be taking notes. While the auto world has been backing away from cars for a decade or more, Subaru has instead refined its Impreza and now limits it to only a hatchback model, already the most popular…

I feel like there was another long thread going around a while back about how the current designs for trucks and SUVs (being taller and larger and having a flatter/more vertical front end rather than a sloped/pointed one) were more dangerous for pedestrians?

Like even aside from the mindset of the drivers. Even someone who was very mindful and was a good driver was more likely to kill a pedestrian, because the front end of the vehicles were at chest-to-head height. So if one hits you it's running directly into your very squishy and vital organs, as opposed to shorter vehicles, which are more likely to hit your legs (still causes injury, but it's more likely that they'll be survivable).

And the sloped fronts of most sedans (a word I'm using here as a catch-all for non-truck and non-SUV vehicles, for convenience) would allow the person to roll up and off of the vehicle, whereas the flat fronts of trucks and SUVs would push the person to the ground and/or under the vehicle, causing further injury.

And that's without taking into account how the design of trucks and SUV reduces the driver's visibility of the area immediately surrounding the vehicle and the actual pavement of the road (being higher up allows them to see over other cars, and therefore see more of the condition of the "road", here meaning traffic/ other cars, not the surface of the road itself).

I can't remember if it was real or just perception, but there's also the idea that the passengers and driver of a truck/SUV are safer in a collision than they would be in a sedan, which makes people want to buy them, especially with there being so many trucks and SUVs on the road. It's easy to look at and SUV and a sedan and think "if these two vehicles crashed, the sedan would be destroyed/the sedan would 'lose' and the SUV would 'win' the crash", so it feels like you're on more even footing with other drivers if you also get a tall car.

So trucks and SUVs become more popular due to the perception of personal safety (the safety of people outside your vehicle be damned), which leads to other people buying the tall cars to level the playing field, but it also leads to car manufacturers making more of the tall vehicles, and offering fewer sedans.

With fewer options for sedans, people are less likely to find one that they like, and more likely to look into SUVs. So even more people buy the bigger cars, and even less people buy the sedans, so car manus lean even harder into making more tall cars and fewer short cars.

It becomes a cycle, and the sedans are straight up disappearing.

And *that* isn't taking into account that, being larger and (often) having more features than sedans, manufacturers can charge more for an SUV/truck, so they make more profit if they sell more big cars. So there's even more of a financial incentive to produce more trucks/SUVs than sedans.

So even if you aren't one of the people with a "run the fuckers over" mindset, it's easier than ever to get a car that you're more likely to kill someone with (even in the case of a genuine accident), and harder to get a more reasonable and safer-for-the-public vehicle.

Dagger Squad Random Headcanons: Cars

I've literally had this floating around in my head for ages now and it's the dumbest shit ever, but anyhoo I went to the trouble of figuring out what kind of car everyone who isn't Maverick would be cruising around in when they're not airborne. So, without further ado-

BRADLEY "ROOSTER" BRADSHAW: 1966 Ford Bronco

I mean c'mon, we literally all saw him roll up to the Hard Deck in this thing

Old soul, old truck

JAKE "HANGMAN" SERESIN: Lifted 2020 Ram 2500 Diesel

Less of a car, more of a personality piece

Nismo AF

Regularly replaces the tires because he's doing burnouts and donuts in a parking lot somewhere

Shrimptaur fried rice. His name is 2009 Subaru Impreza Hatchback

[identifying-cars-in-posts]

wait are there different kinds of car within the model name or is the difference just the year? bc my dad had a jeep cherokee (before it exploded) and it didn’t look like your car but it was also a newer one.

both!

so an individual car model can have multiple body styles and trim levels

both of these, for example, are 2009 honda civics. the one on the left is a 4 door sedan, the one on the right is a 2 door coupe. but they’re both the same car

or another example, 2004 subaru impreza. the one on the left is an impreza sedan, the one on the right is a higher trim level (WRX, a sports model) and body style (wagon/hatchback depending on who you ask). they are however both still 2004 subaru imprezas

all three of these are 2010 honda accords. the top left is a crosstrek model, built to be a true crossover (mix between a sedan and an SUV), top right is a 4 door sedan, and the bottom is a 2 door coupe with a bigger engine. all three are vastly different but fall under the same model name

occasionally a trim level will split off and become its own thing. one example of this is the toyota supra

this is an early 1980s toyota celica supra. at the time, the main model was the celica, and supra was the name of a higher more performance-driven trim level, kind of like the impreza wrx. come 1986 though, the car split off from the celica name and became its own car:

this is a 1986 toyota supra. i would include a picture of a celica from the same year but i’m out of images i can post on mobile lol, but they became two different cars.

and then finally yes, year changes a lot. cars will keep the same name but be constantly improved and redesigned over time. every time one model undergoes a major revamping, that’s a new generation of the car

this photo is one of every generation of chevrolet corvette, a model that has been in production from the late 1950s (the red convertible on the bottom right) to now (the red convertible bottom center). they all look vastly different but share some similarities and are all, at their core, the same car

on a final note, sometimes there are years between generations of the same car, where a model gets discontinued and then the name is brought back later. this is where the cherokee comparison comes in. they made the first cherokee up through 2001, then discontinued it, replacing it with a model called the liberty. they brought back the cherokee name with a new model in 2015. this happens pretty often! the aforementioned toyota supra is an example of this too, they made the first four generations from 1978 to 2002, then brought back the name with a new sports car that borrowed some styling from the older models but had entirely new modern design and internal workings, about four years ago

hope this makes sense, if you wanna know more you have my discord lol

Subaru Impreza STi Cosworth CS400 (1 of 75). 

The Subaru Impreza became popular during the 1990's when the likes of the late Colin Mcrae and Richard Burns flew through the rally stages dominating the WRC. This certainly sparked a huge interest and following for the Subaru Impreza, which led to models such as the type RA and WRX being imported from Japan. After the hugely successful first and second generations, Subaru gave us the third generation.

This was launched in April 2007 at the New York Motor Show, with the WRX STI following close by in October 2007. Available as a 5-door hatchback model, this was something quite different to previous 4-door saloon versions of the Impreza. When the STI was launched it had gained some width, (56mm), and some extra track, (38mm), which improved handling. This was a bonus with the extra power from the flat-four turbocharged Boxer engine producing 303bhp.

This level was stepped up when Cosworth tuners breathed their magic into the Impreza, and the result was the Subaru Impreza WRX STI CS400. This model became the fastest roadgoing model made by Subaru with 0-62 in 3.7 seconds, a standing quarter mile 12.75 seconds and limited to 155mph. The CS400 was limited to Great Britain, all right-hand drive and just 75 made.

As I climbed out of my bunker 20 years after the impending presidential victory of one Ralph Nader and the imminent opening of FEMA camps for corvair owners, I was surprised by three things: Firstly, Nader hadn't won and by some fluke that Ivy League texan boy had taken the presidency, using his newfound power to knock down those ugly towers in New York. Secondly, everyone around me was real worried about sneezing, and thirdly: people were mad about the police again. Well, that really wasn't a surprise as much as the fact that they had started forecasting a beautiful future in which there were no cops to pull me over for unleashing the full power of the GM flat six on public roadways like some sort of twisted star spangled Rat-Fink porsche ripoff taking high speed turns without even a hint of flipping over (you hear that Ralph?). Well, no flipping over other than for the normal reasons.

Those same people did end up calling the local constabulary on me as strange lights flickered on in the abandoned house next door and a dark figure began unearthing the many covairs he'd buried two decades ago in the back yard, but that's not the point. The real takeaway from this is that there exists the cultural impetus to create a future in which I do not receive speeding tickets for acceleration above the arbitrary number marked on the school zone sign (efforts by a tyrannical government to shield children from the truth of superior acceleration in rear engined cars).

The doughnut patrol eventually showed up, and did so in a veritable tank of a machine: the Ford Explorer, now optimized for plowing through crowds. This is that militarization of police everyone was talking about. They've ditched the hardworking American sedan in favor of these monstrosities better suited for hunting down and destroying anything rear engine, air cooled. This is why Porsche switched to watercooling in the 911, I just know it.

While the badged imbecile droned at me about my IDs expiring in 2003, I began to zone out, imagining what a properly modern police vehicle for the new decade should look like. None of this Humvee nonsense (though I'm pleased to see they never stopped making them), this would be a practical machine for the hypothetical "good" law enforcement officer not hell bent on stopping my corvair excavations.

Though a euro-styled wagon is an easy answer for police duty cars, there comes a time when we must acknowledge that those are mainly built for apprehending pocketknife-wielding arms dealers and have very little of the built in ego and power complexes required by State Police officers who protect their communities by hassling me about the legality of my high speed "shakedown runs" and the subsequent exhaust parts left scattered on the local highway.

No, what the American policeman needs is something that can tackle roads in any condition, with plenty of storage space for bulk orders of constitutional violations (and the remains of my exhaust), and a reliable powerplant that balances fuel efficiency and the desire to go fast sometimes (Idle in mall parking lots a lot). The answer is an all-wheel drive mid-sized hatchback with enough space to house my rear bumper once that comes off too. Which is to say the cops need an American OEM Impreza Hatchback.

Of course the closest American equivalent I could think of in a pinch was the Ford Pinto, which seemed to put him off. The ensuing chase was brief but not necessarily fast. Turns out the militarization of police extended to vests that don't protect you from sudden drops, but didn't extend so far as to cover standard issue night vision that would've detected the deep holes I'd been digging. Probably a good thing I buried those Corvairs so deep.

Riding around 🤙🤙

[wanderingandfound]

I've only driven a sedan once before, the rental car I took from my brother's friend's place to the cemetery I saw the 2024 total solar eclipse from. Everything else has been a (small) pick up, a hatchback, a minivan, like four station wagons, a pre-SUV Forester and an SUV Forester.

I don't want an SUV.

I loved my offroad station wagon. I want another offroad station wagon. I do not particularly need an offroad station wagon.

My dad wants me to have the newest safety features. Subaru Eyesight was only introduced ~2015, and made standard ~2019.

My beloved Subaru Outback became an SUV in 2005.

So. That means we're looking at sedans and hatchbacks. I'm tempted to go back to the type of car I inherited from my yiayia ‐ a two door hatchback that I also lost to a deer. I'm thinking maybe a Honda Fit, reliable and sometimes come in pretty colors.

My dad says the car needs to weigh at least 3k. Because of Click and Clack. Radio brothers that have been off the air for a dozen years.

I wonder what the Tappet Brothers would have to say about how modern cars are data gathering and surveillance devices. My dad used to he more worried about digital surveillance, until he could be in the other side of it.

So Honda Fit too light. And lacks AWD, which is useful when living somewhere with mountains and snow and little snow infrastructure. Looking at the Subaru Impreza. Nothing is all that endearing about it, except for the shade of blue that some of them come in. I feel so much like a girl (negative), the way I'm susceptible to a pretty color.

I want a pretty color. Yesterday I was looking up how much it would cost to paint a car. $1k for bad quality, $8k minimum for acceptable quality apparently.

Find out that the Impreza doesn't have room for a donut, let alone a spare tire. That ruin's all the shine of pretty colors and getting a good mpg while still being all-wheel drive.

So today I test drive a Subaru Legacy. Red. Wide. But not as wide as the minivan, so maybe it'll be alright.

After we all but say we'll buy the car in a few days, I get in the back seat.

I'm too tall.

I can make it if I slouch. But my brother and father are taller.

So I guess that's a no on sedans.
