The tail pipes and the wheels are horribly off scale. Oh, god, and look how ****-eyed the rear wheel is in the wheel well. Look how narrow they made it. It looks like a Kia. Whoever p-choped this at R&T should be fired.

I don't think that the hatch looks good. some of the other ones look nice though.
i like the top and the bottom blue ones.

Still, all things aside, I've been a long time R&T/Car and Driver subscriber and when they say that this thing is going to be revealed at the Tokyo Motor Show a little over a year from now, they're usually not too far off on their visual prediction. I hope they're dead wrong.

Through out the entire history of the Impreza (1992-today), there has been a hatch/wagon and coupe/sedan version. No matter what it ends up looking like I’m going to guess Subaru ain't gonna mess with that formula. They do have to put into consideration the world wide sales of the Impreza line up, from the lowly 2.0R Wagon in South Africa to the limited STi’s in the UK. And lets not forget that what ever they make will be the WRC love child. Subaru would be out of there mind to mess up that program.
