please see the error of your ways in making the 2008 Impreza a hatchback. All will be forgiven if you make the 2009 a saloon. In fact if you do you'll hear no more about 2008. PLEASE.

Im gonna wait to actually have a sit in one til I make my decisions. There have been some suprises on the car scene in the years. Shocking to see it as a hatch though.

Reading up on the spec though, it looks like a lot of thought went in, and its for the better.

I third the above!

And Subaru are doing this to keep up with the teams running hatchbacks!
The hatch seems to be doing really well in the rallys at the mo?

They have said they have no plans on dropping the Saloon

but the big question is, will people buy an Impreza 4 door Saloon when they Rally a 3 door Hatch?

When they come up with new designs, do they poll a few hundred people on what they think of it? You'd think it makes sense to draw some pics, come up with a spec and show some forums and dealers from around the world - get some opinions, then move on from there.

I would imagine the saloon will be a JDM only car, whereas the hatch is specifically made for the European market, according to several motoring magazines.

For sure there will be a JDM car, and it will be better than the UK cars, sadly.
