Question about subi year model nick names.

Hi everyone, I was just wondering about something.

I know the nick names for these imprezas:
98-01=GC series
02-03=Bug Eye
04-05=Blob Eye
06-07=Hawk Eye
(so I was told)
What are the model nick names for years 2008 and beyond?

My apologies if this info was listed in another place.

They never made names for the 08+ because they never changed the headlight shape

02-07 all have the same body but different "eye" shapes so it makes sense to name them
