Does anybody know when the next generation Impreza is due in the UK or on the Continent?

I looking at buying a 2000 or 2001 spec. current model, but may wait until the next model comes out.

My local dealer can't, or won't, tell me a rough introduction date.

Any ideas would be most appreciated.

Cheers,
David.

 

According to the bits I have read and bits from the dealer:

The new shape will debut at the Tokyo Motor Show (June?) and its UK launch will follow in October (at the Birmingham motor show?).
Might be wrong about the venues.
