I am intrigued to see how the next Impreza pans out.
BTW, you're looking at a reverse hoodscoop, since there's a front mount hiding behind the grill...

But subaru's sign is the hood scoop. As I think it was 5th Gear called it the subaru 'power buldge.' (not to be confused with the eclipse's power hump). The Impreza just doesn't look right w/o one to me. Which is why I think the 2.5RS looks kinda funny to me after '02 since it doesn't have the scoop anymore...

Blech. But, I have to say - while I am glad they are still selling and happy people like them, the newer versions just make me happier I got mine when I did. Funny, I hated the 'bugeye' when it came out. I started to love it when the '04s came out.. Maybe I will love the '04 in '06? Who really cares anyway.

Like someone else mentioned, the only reason why the bugeyes sold well Stateside is that we didn't have a GC8 WRX or STi. That's why everywhere else in the world, bugeye sales were ho-hum. I don't know about the rest of you guys, but if there had been a GC8 WRX in say 2000 or 2001, I would've been all over instead of my bugeyes 
I still like the bugeyes better than the 04's though. *flamesuit on* :banana:
Oh, and this concept looks kinda poopy IMHO...
