Amen ~ As I said earlier, those represent no selling issues for SOA, they will sell them all. On the other hand the faithful are NOT buying the WRX and the rest of the consumers could care less it appears.

I saw an 08 sedan up on hwy-1 ripping it up towards anchor bay in mendo county.. and it was ripping turns fast like an idiot.. and i have to say i thought it was a camry flying through.
there was an 08 sedan over here, he started reving up to me and peeled out infront of me..lol...all i did was smile and got on the freeway. car doesn't look great..rather just get a turboed mazda 3 then to rock one of those..

Clarkson just reviewed the 08 WRX, and well, lets just say it wasn't a positive review. He sums up the WRX by saying "[i]t is, in short, a car that appeals to no one," ouch.

The problem is with the WRX. If SOA can be so quick to change the Tribeca (owning a 2006 Tribeca I really don't agree with that once again, 'safe' change to look like everyone else... But, then I digress), then sure as hell they can 'fix' what they can on the WRX and soon, eh?
#1: Ugly *** grill ~ Make the 'Sport Grill' standard on the WRX.
#2): Get rid of the Cadillac suspension and give us back the 'edge' a WRX driver wants.
#3): You got a Legacy GT engine that has been pumping out 250 hp forever in the Outback GT's and Legacy GT's. With a simple map change you just gave us what we want ~ since you already changed the suspension, it's even a balanced car now!
#4): On the 5 door, throw the tail lights in the trash where they belong!
#5): Do something, anything, to get rid of the 'melba toast' boring exterior! Some flares, more obvious front scoop... something to seperate the WRX from the NA Impreza!
... "And they will come!"
