Some very "interesting" comments 
All pictures posted including the test mule are of the "cooking" version of the 4th Gen Impreza.
As of now I don't think anyone (outside of Subaru) has seen the final version of what the WRX/WRX Sti will look like.........

We know this because Subaru president Ikuo Mori said at a recent shareholder’s meeting: “We will launch a new sporty car in 2014.” The WRX is that car.
“Apart from a few nuts and bolts, every part on the WRX will be unique. Even the engine and body. Obviously the WRX’s platform will be inherited from the new Impreza, but it will be radically modified and significantly shortened,” says our source.
The WRX…will employ the very best from Subaru’s parts bin, starting with an updated version of the company’s rally-proven AWD system and a turbocharged boxer engine.
“The first thing you must understand about our all-new WRX is that we have developed it from the ground up to win in motorsports events. That’s why we have focused so heavily on weight issues, not to mention a shorter wheelbase that permits faster, more precise turn-in. Marry that to our proven AWD system, and we think we have a winner”.

They need to go back to the drawing board gather all their designers around it and then sack the lot of them.
Bring in some fresh thinking. There's no wonder Subaru is on its **** with design like that.

Dear Subaru,
Here's an early Christmas present for you. It's a link to a website with some guys that actually have a f****** clue about car design.
