The first pictures and details of the Japanese domestic market [JDM] 2012 Subaru Impreza have emerged online thanks to a set of brochure shots that were leaked before the official presentation on November 30.
As most of you probably expected, the JDM model is a carbon copy of the North American version of the new Impreza, which goes on sale in the States next month. In Japan, the hatchback model will carry the Sport designation while the sedan will be called G4.
However, in addition to Subaru's new 2.0-liter boxer engine, which in JDM-spec delivers 150HP and 196Nm, the domestic market Impreza will also be offered with a smaller displacement 1.6-liter unit producing 115HP and 148Nm. Both powerplants will be available with 2WD and 4WD layouts.

A Japanese car, made in Japan, by the Japanese manufacturer, introduced in Japan more than six months later than the foreign market.
Thanks Subaru, for treating your loyal domestic customer like crap.
Unique cars, but as usual an assemblage of cues from a bunch of other cars, with some special Subaru awkwardness added.
Yeah it looks like a Kizashi mixed with a Civic
