It's lot's better, but now it kinda reminds me of a Prelude. How about they retro it and make it look more like the first gen Impreza. Hey if it could work for the Mustang...

Way too much like one. And the EVO design is quite ugly compared to the RS or STi.

Also the design seems to be taking on a European look I think.

i dont know how accurate this car and driver article is...

Its a car that subaru designed for the playstation game WRC3 , not neccesory Impreza.
It could be similar but its probably different.
The reason i think its different is... Subaru is good at hiding pre-production car.
How many people have guessed that GD is gonna be bug eye before the release?
I doubt they will leak out pre-production design by themselves.
Its just for fun and to excite people I think.

there is an article about this car in the Subaru official website ...in Japanese
http://www.subaru-msm.com/feature/issues/3.html

officially from subaru, the name of this car in the game is SUBARU EXTREME

...The GDA is a WRX, the GDB is the STi, USDM MY02-present (GCs are 1st gen Imprezas).

As far as the supposed next gen Impreza - I am not impressed by their new designer. He may do to Subaru what Bangle did to BMW by trying to find new styling direction at the cost of regular customers who may not want to drive a super flamboyant extroverted car.

At least there are the styling gods of Calma, C-West, Gialla, etc...
