Preview: 2017 Subaru Impreza
The 2017 Subaru Impreza is both a giant leap and a baby step for Subaru. It has a couple of big firsts for the small automaker. The first is that this is an all new platform. Subaru calls it the "Subaru Global Platform" (creative, I know), and it will be the new bones for much of Subaru's future lineup. Quoted as doubling rigidity over the old platform, it also lowers the centre of gravity and increases crash worthiness. The new suspension that's attached to it reduces body roll by over 50 percent and "significantly increases ride quality". The second giant leap for Subaru is that this will be the first Impreza made in North America. Subaru indicated they are doubling capacity at their Indiana plant by the end of the year, and making a $500 million (US) investment to do it. The first Imprezas to roll off of that new line are expected in late 2016.
