Not Even The Harshest Winter Will Break This Snow-Prepped Impreza

The third-gen Subaru Impreza hatch has never been much of a looker. Until now, that is. This imgur user posted up pictures of his WRX hatch, and boy, do we extend our respect to the guy.

Nicknamed 'Snowy Subie', this WRX is decked out in the sort of hardcore off-road accessories you'd normally find on something like a mud-plugging Land Rover Defender.

There are no fewer than eight spotlamps on the car, a set of chunky bullbars, a beastly metal sumpguard, and a Yakma roof rack holding a huge toolbox. Then, there's the license plate...

Finished in black, the Scooby also looks wonderfully menacing against the white snow and is sure to be an unstoppable force when the weather closes in. Winter, bring it on!
