Post '06 WRX a redesign?

The new 2005 WRX are coming out with a minor redesign. Since it's this current model's 4th year, will there be a totally new impreza for 2006 and what about the power numbers for the WRX and STi models? I couldn't wait as I'm buying a 2004 WRX wagon tomorrow.

I got a good deal for the '04 so I'm gonna go with that.. Yeah, sorry for looking to much into the future but can you blame me? =)

I don't really know about that saab thing, I'm not feeling that car.. I think that it's an insult to the wrx when they keep on saying that it's the entry level saab (although it's the fastest). I think I've seen a concept model before too and I hope they don't round it out.. The new legacy's look sweet!!

If there's any news about the '06s keep me posted!!

*Proud WRX owner today!!*

On this whole Saab thing---I hope the Saab guys understand that they owe a lot to the Subies. Let's face it, this whole idea of creating a "new" Saab by putting a Saab body onto a WRX is GM's way of trying to save a struggling Saab division. If I was a Saab fan, I'd be in line waiting for one (finally an exciting Saab to drive.) However, as a WRX owner, I'm hating the idea altogether.

As a GGA owner, I hate to say it but I like the front end on the saab better than either the 02-03 or 04 subarus, especially the hood scoop.

To me it seems cleaner/less cluttered...but to each his own.

almost all 02-05 impreza's look like @ss to me now. When i first got my 03 wrx i was able to look beyond the looks of the car because its was something new AWD, TURBO, SEDAN etc... But now that the evo is out + 350z + saturn redline <-- j/k on the last one.

i just can't keep a car that cost me 25k that doesn't even look good anymore.

time to trade this car in for something that looks good + with good performance.

Perhaps the legacy GT? I can't believe it would take many mods to make the car comparable to the STI in performance. And talk about style...
