Heh, I have one, guess I won't be sporting the wagon mafia sticker since I have a hatch...

 

Would you not say that the STI or 5 door is a derivative or "modified version" of the 4 door Sedan? Therefore making it a wagon. I really don't want a wagon mafia sticker, but thought it would make a good point of discussion.

add the hatch:

 

PSSHT!! talking like he knows


so how many doors does the hatch have and how many does a wagon have?

 

5 for both?!?

 

teh gas flap shows how much tehy shortened the hatch

only proves his point

DAMN YOU!

 

yeah but your pics prove his point damn it!m jahahhahhahah

 

i think what he means is that a true wagon is built of the same frame(chassis) as the sedan, where as the hatch is a complete one off. you can see that the sedan is much longer than the hatch and so the frame and suspension are different. also the hatchbacks have a diagonal slant to the rear glass where a wagon tends to be more vertical. either way you look at it the sti is not a wagon, sry.

 

So the 4 door and the 5 door have different chassis?

 

The 2008 US Impreza STI has the model code GR, reflecting the different 'wide body 5-door' chassis as compared to the GH '5-door' chassis used for the US 2008 Impreza WRX. The new 'wide body 5-door' chassis is 70.7 in (1796 mm) wide compared to 68.5 in (1740 mm) for the regular WRX '5-door' chassis.

taken from wiki and yes, the 5-door(hatch) subarus do use a different chassis than the 4-door and wagons do.

 

COOL. so the GH is a wagon, NM.... I'm done! just thought it was a good topic for discussion.
