Apparently, some new pictures of the 2008 Subaru Impreza WRX were “leaked” by the magazine Motor Trend. A user of the NASIOC forums claims he received the May issue of the magazine, in which a hatchback version of the new WRX is featured. I think it is a bit far fetched and it might be a marketing move by Motor Trend, but if you want to see the pictures head to this thread at NASIOC.
One thing I hate about these pictures is the external antenna. I think it makes the car look cheap (and very much like a Mazda 3). I like my ‘05 WRX for this: it has no external antenna.
I won’t be posting any more unofficial information or pictures of the 2008 Subaru Impreza WRX until it is officially announced, probably in ten days from now on April 5th at the New York Auto Show. There have been far too many rumors already on the subject!

For all of the whining being done on NASIOC, I really like the styling on this new WRX. The grill does leave a little to be desired, but like many other cars this will be fixed by the aftermarket.
I think the new subaru is ugly and downgrade to the best car company out there.
I owned 4 Subaru Impreza cars to date, and was attracted to the car because of its aggressive no nonsense sporty features and rally like performance. The 2008 model, I will feel stupid being seen in one, I hope the 2009 model looks better.
I’m a tech at a subaru dealer for a reason, they didn’t make cookie cutter cars like this one. Might as well go work for kia now.
