Question will they ever come out with 3 door hatch?

check out the vids.. and yes i know they are just concepts but they still look cool.

i dont know about you guys but i think this concept looks mean as hell. Do you guys think will subaru ever come out with a 3 door hatch? or do you think it will just stay as a concept just to make us drool? i know if subaru were to bring this concept to production with the 2.5L turbo power plant they have i would buy it no questions asked. the only issue i have is that it looks a little too much like the euro WRC ford focus.
what do you guys think?

I'd def prefer the 3-door hatch over the 5-door hatch. Although I'm going to reserve my final verdict until after I see what the sti looks like in person.

Saw the Sti in person last night. It looks way better than the WRX hatch but I"m still not a fan of the hatch look. I like the front and the interior is awesome. I still wouldn't buy one right off the bat. If they made a 2-door sedan I would buy one in an instant though.

i saw the new 08 STI in person. that 09 concept car looks about a billion times more aggressive than the new 08 STI.

i'd really rather spend my money on the concept car.

5 doors are pointless, just more unneccessary weight.

Really, how many times do you find yourself drving a full load of people? if they are your friends, then they can contort themselves thru a reclined seat, and if they are clients/boss then you need a different car!

Spend some time in a Volvo C30, it is a killer 3-door hatch. The inside and out ergonomics put any Subaru marque to shame. A really nice little FWD.
