Subaru Impreza

The Subaru Impreza is a compact automobile, manufactured since 1992 by —the automobile division of Japanese transportation conglomerate, Fuji Heavy Industries (FHI). Subaru introduced the Impreza as a replacement for the Leone, with the Leone's EA series engines replaced by the newer EJ series versions.

Subaru has offered both front- and all-wheel drive versions of the Impreza. Since the late-1990s, some markets have restricted sales to the all-wheel-drive model—therefore granting the Impreza a unique selling proposition in the global compact class characterized by front-wheel drive. However, Japanese models remain available in either configuration.

Bunta Fujiwara is the notable owner of a Subaru Impreza WRX STI GC8, though his son Takumi sporadically drives it in case he needs to switch cars while going on delivery runs. It is also used to teach his son a lesson to learn the characteristics of AWD. Bunta bought the Impreza after realizing that his son was driving the AE86 more than him but kept it a secret a while. He first uses this car on a test drive run on Akina, where he defeated his son, inducing an AWD complex on it.

GDBA and GDB Imprezas appear in the Arcade Stage series, available to the player.
