Here Ill share what were the obvious indicators (to me anyway).



What everyone is looking at is essentially a Impreza with a face lift that wants to pretend its a WRX.

IMO, the real WRX shell will appear later.
that right there is perfect to show people this is just a mule

The evo-ish front looks like it's going to stay. I wouldn't be mad if this was the production version.

Maybe this will be a new take on the 2.5 RS?

now that i can definitely believe. I really didn't even think of it that way! The Impreza 2.5RS sold pretty well in NA, even if people knew they weren't getting the WRX models. A racer n/a version of the current impreza thats not the WRX would still sell pretty well especially when priced among the family oriented buyers who wants safety and sportiness rather than outright performance.

I like the new Impreza except for the powertrain choices, a 2.5RS type model could be cool and slot in below the WRX.

There's a far more accurate 3d render on NASIOC.
