Mis typed, and I cant change the subject line. Still, the WRX being dropped is pretty big.

Can a mod change teh subject line?

Good god... I just threw up in my mouth. That is some nasty looking car. I think (hope) that is the concept car that the new line is "based" on.

Makes me love my 5-door bug eye even more.

Yeah..... I would rather get an Evo X, or the concept or whatever they are putting out rather than getting that hideous hatchback.

Cool. A diesel is in the works. Hope it makes it here. They may be dropping it in Europe, anyone know if they are going to drop it here as well? I doubt it.

they already have a 5 door hach-back, its called the wagon!

With dropping the wrx they'd better lower the price of the STi or they are going to miss out on a LOT of sales

Also, why are they changing to making the impreza a hatch (probably to get into the younger, hatch loving market) but then dropping the affordable performance car that the young hatch lovers would be able to buy....it makes no sense

I don't think they will drop the "WRX", but it will be a 5dr hatchback and 2dr hatchback .... plus it should have more hp and tq since they hv to go against EVO 10 and Mazdaspeed 3 ... if the drop "WRX" and make some stupid A$$ car, they r making a big mistake ...
