personally I think this should be their line-up

Impreza 2-door coupe (base 2.5L, turbo 2.0L, turbo 2.5L)
Impreza 3-door hatchback (base 1.8L, base 2.0L, turbo 2.0L)
Impreza 5-door sports wagon (base 2.5L, turbo 2.0L, turbo 2.5L)
Impreza 4-door Sedan (base 2.5L, turbo 2.0L, turbo 2.5L)

and just when i thought it couldnt look worse!! the encorparate a celica style rear 1/4 pannel.

 

It's not real. This is a pchop and was brought up a couple of months ago.

 

i love that focus look

 

bleh

 

Even worse than the '06

 

please say it aint so... please please please say it aint true

 

Well, looking at how Citroen has been wildly successful in the WRC as of late, it makes sense.. Unfortunately you have to change the car that is sold to people as well.

However, changing the overall body style sorta makes it lose its uniqueness over the other cars... I'm not a big fan of hatchbacks, since it makes me think CRX. In this case.. CRX with a big wing..

im ok with the hatch back thing its just the grill that looks like poop and the headlights look like they were ripped off of a pugot.

 

in terms of what the impreza sti truely is, subaru is just ruining all the credibility it has. in my opinion they should have just kept upgrading the design from 2003 (the one not released in the u.s.). but since the sti is a world rally car, it's not suprising that they're turning the design into a hatch because all the other competition (skoda, ford, citroen, and peugeot) are all hatchbacks. i don't know what to think of this design. it doesn't look like a subaru, it looks like a seat leon cupra r.

 

petition anyone??

This also looks like a type of Benz. something like a SLK350

 

I'll say it again for those of you with poor reading comprehension skills:

This is a photochop. It is not real. Subaru is not making this hatch. Please do a search. This entire discussion was hashed out a couple of months ago.

Same dumb magazine:

 

Definitely a photochop...I don't see why Subaru would feel the need to make a hatch anyway, the current Impreza with Solberg behind the wheel (and others before him in previous versions) have proven that Subaru can win rallies. I just hope they change the 2007 Impreza and go as far away from the 2006 look as possible.

 

dont worrie guys, even if this wasnt a photo shop job you know how they never relece the car that they firs show us as a prototype.
just look what they did with the new charger

 

As always, Japan gets to play first!

The Hatch images are of the Subaru R1 and R2... hopefully we will never see it in the U.S.
