The second generation New Age Subaru Impreza was launched in 2000. Larger than the previous generation with the Saloon increasing its width by 40cm, and the hatch by just 5. Powered by Turbocharged versions of the 2.0- and 2.5-liter engines in the WRX and WRX STI models.

 

After mixed reaction to the round headlight design, in 2001 Subaru enlisted the help of Peter Stevens of Prodrive, who updated the car's fascia in 2002 with more rectangular headlamps. This version of the Impreza has gained the nickname 'Blob Eye' among Subaru enthusiasts.

 

A second facelift came in 2005, with a new frontal design by eek designer Andreas Zapatinas, formerly of Alfa Romeo, The facelift introduced Subaru's new corporate face, including its controversial "jet intake and wings" grille design that first appeared on the Subaru R2 kei car. The new corporate face was designed to pay homage to their aircraft manufacturing roots, the Nakajima Aircraft Company. This version of the Impreza has gained the nickname 'Hawk Eye' among Subaru enthusiasts.
