It would still have poor sales because it would just be a WRX coupe at the end of the day. The styling would get wrecked by the big nose required by Subaru's symmetric AWD. It would likely cost more than the WRX sedan. It would be 200-300lbs heavier than current. Coupes just don't sell in appreciable numbers unless they have Mustang or Camaro written on the title.
