Subaru's new global platform arrives in the US on the 2017 Impreza (pictures)

Bringing along new technology, new style and all-new underpinnings, Subaru's latest family car is quite promising.

Cars are Andrew's jam, as is strawberry. After spending years as a regular ol' car fanatic, he started working his way through the echelons of the automotive industry, starting out as social-media director of a small European-focused garage outside of Chicago. From there, he moved to the editorial side, penning several written features in Total 911 Magazine before becoming a full-time auto writer, first for a local Chicago outlet and then for CNET Cars.

A new Sport trim includes special suspension tuning, unique wheels and the torque-vectoring system found on Subaru's more performance-oriented models. Naturally, there are a few visual enhancements, as well.
