Default MY08 - As well as Hatch, will there also be a saloon also?

I think the MY08 as a 'hot hatch' will be successful - pics look great!

However, I have grown out of hot-hatch as such - I need a saloon. Are they ditching the saloon platform altogether?

Apparently The New Impreza will come in Saloon, Hatch and Wagon but only internet guesses but can't see them dropping the Saloon risk losing the US market

Mikes post below insinuates not a Turbo model till mid 2008

I cannot see Subaru offering Saloon + Wagon + Hatch ...... not a wise commercial move.

nah, I guess it will ONLY come in Hatch form - with a diesel in the range for the grown ups.

Thumbs down

Auto Express stated that it would "only" be available as a hatch "in the UK", which leads me to believe the japs will get more choices, probably for less money, AGAIN.
