You guys see the 2008 WRX pictures that hit the net today? I'll include the link to one site, hope ok to do so, http://www.speedsportlife.com/2006/09/13/spied-2008-subaru-wrx-prototype/. Car is heavily concealed, but, a few things can be seen. Interesting to note the framed glass doors as in the Tribeca. Also the taillights look like LED. New front styling looks they have indeed dropped the Tribeca inspired styling (thank goodness).  Mark |

Replying to: famof3kids (Sep 13, 2006 4:49 am) regarding hatchback... uh, has there ever been a difference between a 5 door 'wagon' and a 5 door hatchback? I believe the hubbub has always been whether Subaru would see a 3 door hatchback, which I have always denied but especially doubted once all Impreza 2 door production cars were gone. ~Colin

Replying to: locke2c (Sep 13, 2006 7:04 am) The question remains however, is the 5-door hatch just another term for the sport wagon that's currently offered,... Bob |

Replying to: famof3kids (Sep 13, 2006 4:49 am) LED tails - noticed that too. I bet this is the WRX wagon, basically. They just made it look less wagony. Colin: I know it's a tough distinction, but to me it's a wagon if the roof stretches back beyond the C-pillar. Hatches will just have a curved glass that meets the roof about where the glass on a sedan would. A lot of cars blur the line, though. I think the spy shots most resemble this:  Move the FMIC to a TMIC and voila. There should be more headroom and more rear legroom given the extra height and the wheelbase stretch, respectively. -juice

Replying to: ateixeira (Sep 13, 2006 7:41 am)  I want frameless windows! I love them. W/o frameless windows, it's not a subaru.

Replying to: kate5000 (Sep 13, 2006 7:46 am) To me, they mean thin pillars and no blind spots. I'm sure the pillars will get thicker now. Also, the doors get heavier. -juice |

Replying to: kate5000 (Sep 13, 2006 7:46 am) It must be a noise related decision, as there have never been strength/safety issues with the frameless. John |

appears to be very similar to the current JDM Outback. Like the JDM Outback, there is a ribbon at the top with the oval logo splitting that ribbon and the lower grille. The lower grille also has a mesh pattern not unlike the JDM Outback. Bob

Replying to: rsholland (Sep 13, 2006 8:13 am) Again, too much camo to tell for sure. -juice |

Replying to: rsholland (Sep 13, 2006 8:13 am) It's difficult to see the car's character lines w/the camo & white color... hard to tell how aggressive this is. No strongly defined flares. It doesn't scream "WRX" to me... more "GT". Is this the gentrification of the WRX? I'm interested to see how the C-pillar really looks - the rounded hatch is interesting. Hope they execute the look well. Has potential.
