Recently, the British magazine Autocar has stated that Subaru had no plan of carrying over the WRX model in 2008, instead offering only the base Impreza and the more powerful STI models.
It appears the rumor is not founded: Autoblog was contacted by Michael McHale, Subaru’s Director of Corporate Communications. Michael McHale let them know that Subaru is going to offer the WRX model in 2008.
Furthermore, he also mentioned that there WILL be a sedan version of the redesigned 2008 Impreza. He did not confirm the hatchback rumors though. Well that’s two good news. It looks like we’ll be able to buy a 2008 WRX sedan after all!

I hope they make a hatchback like some of the concept pictures. The WRC cars are small and versatile, and could be very functional and economical. But they are not available in the U.S.
This is the worst WRX ever! I will never buy one now. Sorry Subaru you’ve lost my business!!!
