The BRZ and Impreza 5-door will debut at Geneva 2012 With the 2012 Geneva Motor Show just weeks away, we learn the Subaru BRZ and new Subaru Impreza 5-door hatch will get their European debuts. News of debuts at the 2012 Geneva Motor Show are starting to come in thick and fast, and although Subaru don’t have any world debuts to offer at Geneva, we will be seeing the European debut of the Subaru BRZ in production guise, as well as the first look in Europe at the new Impreza 5-door.
