The Impreza WRX has the soul of a sports car, but the body of a sedan (or wagon). Soon thereafter, the WRX made its way onto the showrooms of Europe and Australia. It wasn’t until 2002 that North America got a taste of the WRX’s style and speed. Though it took ten years to make it to the U.S., the 2006-2007 Golden Icon Award was presented to the Subaru Impreza WRX for “best sedan” on the market, a mighty feat for any vehicle. When the Impreza WRX showed up on American soil, buyers were hesitant. Not many sedans are marketed as a factory-made performance sedan. Most of the street machines seen on the road have a significant number of after-market upgrades, like body kits, ambient lighting, dual exhaust, and tubochargers.
