    IT"S STILL A HATCH!!! Atleast there going in the right direction... COME ON COUPE!!! I would throw down the money again for an STI if they would only build it!(And not be $40K) Until then I will just hang on to the 2.5RSTI!

    That seriously is expensive. $50,000 for the sti version? ouch! I would seriously trade in my car on 2010 for $40,000. But damnit!

    The pound is almost never directly translated, price wise, into dollars for a product. Its usually a couple percent less in dollars...

    This looks a lot like the photo chopped STi hatch from a while back except it does not look nearly as good in the rear part of the side. The rear side window should not go up and leave the C-pillar so akward. I too would prefer a coupe but with a family I can't see me purchasing a two door as my primary car ever again.

    It is going to happen. The car has been announced but we don't know what it will look like.

    With Subaru's latest market re-positioning for the Impreza platform i.e. from performance to pudding, I wouldn't bank on it! If it does happen you better do some banking to get your hands on one 40-50k ouch!

    folks, remember these are mules, they are a bunch of body panels from different cars. the goal first, is to come up with a chassis and driver-train that works. then they polish it. lets not start naming all the different cars this could/might/dose look like. :unamused:
