I’ve yet to drive the Cosworth-tuned Subaru Impreza, but I’m told by colleagues who’ve been behind the wheel that it’s pretty brutal and exceptionally quick. But if you’re looking for the next generation of cars from the Japanese performance brand, here’s a car that should get your juices flowing. It’s called the Impreza Design Concept and, according to the company, hints at “a possible future design direction”. The wraps came off at last week’s Los Angeles Motor Show, and I have to say I’m a bit disappointed with it. A design sketch was released a couple of days earlier and it looked a whole lot sexier when someone had drawn it rather than photographed it! Sure, it’s a four-door with coupé styling – isn’t everything these days? – but take the interesting front end away and it’s a bit of a jelly mould. The Impreza Design Concept is powered by a combination of the firm’s 2.0-litre naturally aspirated flat-six engine with a Lineartronic CVT automatic transmission. This combination represents Subaru's next-generation of powertrain, as Lineartronic is currently only available on 2.5-litre models in the UK.
