So heres the concept for the sportback..... ie:hatch.
Its only a concept so its not gonna look exact, but any thoughts
I say its got an ugly **** end, but hey different strokes for different folks :P
Gonna have the 2.4 and AWD and a possible Ralliart and Evo versions later next year.
This ones slated for this year maybe, Ralliart and Evo not in this country unless sales are good

I like it. Though its geared towards European market since most people prefer sedans over "old man's station wagon". In Europe sportbacks, hatchbacks, etc are way more popular, and preferred over sedans.
I would actually prefer a sportback EVO over sedan. I got the muscle i want, and the space i need :)

Gonna take a quote from a friend of mine who has an STi Wagon.

"The Kids will never be late to school or soccer practice, and I can get to the grocery store in three point four seconds!!!"

Looks like the Subie.

I like it though. I just prefer hatchbacks for carrying crap. Nice find.

The Rear End Brake lights and style kind of look alike the Lexus RX300.
So these hatchback is going to be in the market or concept only?

I really think the regular GTS body style looks way better. I've never been big on hatchbacks and this reminds me why.

Love the headlights and the rims and the stock sharkfin antenna... but the glamour is just about the only thing I like. The Lexus IS300 also came in a hatchback and the IS300 is an extremely popular car here (I see at least 3-5 different ones daily), but the hatchback IS300 is a rarity.

Like you said fullmetalpanic... different strokes...

I love the front end...not so thrilled with the back end. Though I like he overall styling, I'm concerned that it will be less versatible (hold less) than the '04 Sportback. Also, the absence of roof rails means I may have trouble fitting a bike rack.

I can't wait to see it in person.

Eeeeew, I hate those.
I prefer the sedan.
The a$$ end like that totally kills the aggressiveness of the car I think.
It's like a half a$$ hatchback. Big "no no" for me.
