Not sure about it yet. Looks good / better from some angles but then looks mismatched in others. I am happy they may return to saloon shape but don't think the wing / rear lights / rear bumper match. The bumper looks like a current M3's one.

Good grief, I thought they had finally ditched the juvenile rear wings. The hatch is the best looking Impreza by far (not much of a challenge though it has to be said!). The last thing it needs is even more cosmetic tat - it looks like something out of my 7 year-old's toy box.

What's with all this 'sedan' business? It's a SALOON, we're in the UK not America. Next we'll be calling sunroofs moonroofs like they do across the pond.

^^^ LOL, bitter party of one. Let me start by giving you a disclaimer. I love you guys "across the pond," I have a man crush for Jenson Button and Jeremy Clarkson should be Prime Minister. So with that said.

1. A "saloon" is where you would drink alcohol in the old west, not a 4 door vehicle.
2. We call them sunroofs also. Not moonroofs. I have no idea where you got that from.

Reminds me of Corollas a decade ago
Why is Subaru making so ugly cars lately?
The hatchback is x10 better.

I actually like both of them. The hatch seems to be more practical though.

It is coming here.
Went to see my dealer yesterday. Thinking about changing my 58 plate STi hatch. They've got a deal on - 330s pack they call it - Prodrive kit and 18" wheels at no extra cost. Quite tempting, but thought I'd wait to see what the saloon looks like when it comes, but its going to be Oct/Nov time. He also said that they are stopping the hatch. There are only 40 new ones left at the Subaru hub - all silver. He said he'll run out of cars before any saloons arrive, and that he reckons the hatch will reappear alongside the saloon next year. Plenty of vids of it on Youtube.

From the back it looks like a Hyundai Accent that has eaten too many pies.






From the front it looks like the hatch and that can't be good.

Not bitter just not fond of 'Americanisms'. Perhaps I'm being old fashioned but I prefer English the way we use it. The sunroof/moonroof thing was a typical American idiosyncrasy (or idiocy as I like to call it), do a little research.

I like it and Right hand drive

We may get lightened Spec c version of the saloon as the Hatch didnt require lightening this might

Now the WRC is the WRHC or World Rally Hatchback Cup

AFAICR In WRC terms, the hatch wouldn't gain any advantage by being lightened. Therefore was not Lightened for Homologation and Motorsport purpose. Sadly this only effected "Road users" & "enthusiasts" who would buy "Spec C's" for being lightened as standard. Many people i have spoken to were disappointed by the lardy Spec C hatch.

IMHO
