I really think the post should be renamed to "Subaru's Impreza Replacement".

I've predicted for some time now that there will be a two door Impreza in the next major redesign of the line and IMHO this is the concept vehicle of the new line of the Impreza (B5). This concept vehicle showcases Subaru's hybrid technology but the real deal is the this being the first glimpse at the new Impreza (B5) line (IMO).


The "B3" will replace "Forester", "B5" will replace "Impreza" and "B7" will replace Legacy. FHI's latest annual report indicates there won't be an Impreza replacement until late in CY 2007 (~two years).

Take a look at a one of the original mock ups:
