There were also a lot of comments about a sedan STI in 2011 well before anything was close to being announced.

There were comments about a sedan STI and a widebody WRX for '09. It's called wishful thinking.

And the world is pretty disappointing without some wishful thinking, beav.
economic demand is fueled by wishful thinking for more and better than is currently available, and the producers are supposed to make money by actually providing the supply. Otherwise we'd all be driving trabants or some other excrement sandwich grade of car, without hope of improvement. |

I agree. I'm just saying that comments on the boards and rumors from the dealerships are sometimes the same things. We have no way of knowing what's rumor mill and what's actually flowing down the pipe from Subaru.

***8226; Either from a conversation with a factory rep who spoke to the dealer owner, sales manager, sales rep or service rep. That info may or may not be accurate or current. It may be first-hand info, or second- or third-hand info, in which case the accuracy diminishes the more hands it gets passed through. ***8226; Info that is found on the SOA/dealer-only web site. ***8226; Info learned at SOA ride-and drives and/or at dealer-SOA meetings, such as the large annual meeting in which all dealers are invited. The bottom line is there is usually a shred of truth (if not more) there. The real question is how current is that info. If its old info, it may no longer be true, and there's no way of knowing that.

You left out the most prevalent one:
We've even got a stickied thread meant to prevent this kind of stuff from recirculating. |

The question is if that MPG will be acheived with the base model (hopefully) or only on the hybrid model which is also coming...

I don't think the hybrid will even be a 2012 Impreza. Isn't the hybrid supposed to be launched in 2012, making it a M.Y. 2013? Besides, any hybrid Impreza would have to get MUCH more than 4 MPG better than a Legacy or it'd never sell and thus they'd never meet their CAFE goals. 35MPG has gotta be the anticipated hwy rating for the 2012 naturally aspirated CVT Impreza.

i think Subaru needs to build a small car, one that is slightly smaller than the old bugeye. as long as it has AWD i don't care if it's a coupe, hatch or sedan.
just not a fan of the largeness of all the cars these days. something about the same size as a Toyota Yaris or Hyundai Accent would be nice. as for the Impreza concept, it looks decent i guess.. maybe a little too mainstream for my taste tho. not a big fan of owning a car that looks like other cars. or maybe i'm just weird? |

^^^
now this is a good idea. a modern version of the GC would be great. i still think the 22B is the best looking Impreza to date. bring back the hood with the scoop and the vents, big wing and huge foglights! edit: and bring back the gold RS 5 spoke rims and make them 17s |

I'm proud of my 08 because from when I first bought it to now, she's gone a far way and still has so much more potential. I don't mean to start/open a debate that's been going on for years.. Just trying to answer your question |

My current plan is to make the trek from Houston to NY for the NYIAS this year.
Looking on the web I found a picture from this article: (cant seem to figure out how to insert a picture on this forum) http://autoten.com/2010/05/11/2012-2...d-speculation/ I think this looks pretty good |

^^^ seriously? it looks just like the toyota matrix... but maybe the matrix and impreza will be 1 model afterall since the selling point of matrix is the same as impreza - affordable, awd, decent mpg, practical (hatch).
