The Subaru Impreza is an interesting vehicle, and its 30-plus year history covers a lot of ground for the Japanese automaker. The Impreza was initially created to replace the company’s venerable Leone, a model active from 1972-1994. Like the Impreza, the Leone name covered several different Subaru body types, including sedans, hatchbacks, coupes, wagons — even the beloved Subaru BRAT was built from the bones of the Leone. The company knew that replacing the Leone would be no small feat, and the introduction of the Impreza saw the new model’s minimalist design paired with both a sedan and wagon body style. The Impreza would go on to spawn Subaru models like the Outback, WRX, and Crosstrek, keeping the spirit of the Leone alive in the acclaimed Impreza name.
