I thought it was only being released as a hatchback?

Or is the saloon just being released in Japan?

It is indeed the Impreza Saloon... not to be found in Europe (unless imported). Think the above post is correct it's only for US/AUS market.. meaning LHD's only I think.

Thats the saloon version that only the US gets. Much better than the hatch and reckon that the STI treatment will make it well smart! Why don't we get it??

Oh well, read somewhere that it's LHD only.. probably only going to be available for US market then as some here have mentioned.

No, it's an Impreza.

That just doesnt make any sense to me? There is a saloon version but we can't have it?

Why not?

Maybe if the hatchback sales are poor over here they will change there minds like they did with the bug eye lights!

You think that looks better than the hatch? man it just looks like a mondeo, company car, dull, boring, mundane pile of crap to me...the back end is just too big and burly, the hatch isn't great(though have to say growing on me now) but with a better grill and nice wide arches I think the STI could look quite good......hold on did I say the hatch is growing on me?.....now that just shows how bad the saloon looks lol....all IMHO of course

Glad its not coming to the UK that looks crap............Company mondeo style written all over it

I quite like the hatch aswell but in a mazda 3 sorta way, its just not an impreza to me

maybe yous would prefer the saloon it if it was wr blue with gold wheels?

JDM/AUS 40,000 units 5,000 Saloon + 15,000 hatch 20,000 STi Hatch

Option 2 only worldwide Saloons choice

USA 50,000 units 40,000 Saloon + 5,000 Hatch 5,000 STi Hatch
