FactSubaru badged this Impreza generation as the Saab 9-2X for 2004–06, a WRX wagon wearing Swedish griffins.
The "New Age" Impreza introduced in Japan in August 2000: the sedan grew 40 mm wider (the wagon 5 mm), the coupé was dropped and the Outback Sport off-road package continued in North America. Nicknamed "Bugeye" before the first facelift ("Blobeye") and the second ("Hawkeye"); badge-engineered for North America as the Saab 9-2X (2004–06). Naturally aspirated 1.5, 1.6, 2.0 and 2.5 L boxers, with WRX turbos on 2.0 L until 2005 and 2.5 L after; the STI used a more powerful 2.0 L (2.5 L outside Japan). It won the 2000 Wheels Car of the Year in Australia and MotorWeek Best Sport Sedan (2002) and Best Performance Car (2004). The S202, S203 and S204 STI specials are the figures below.

This Impreza generation dropped two things enthusiasts took for granted at once: the sedan body style is gone, and so is the manual transmission — hatchback and CVT only now.
The fifth-gen Impreza quietly made history: it was the first car from any Japanese automaker to put a pedestrian-protection airbag on the standard equipment list.
Japan gets a smaller 1.6 liter engine here purely to slot under a road tax threshold, not for performance.
This Impreza broke Japanese exterior-dimension rules for the first time, the wide-body GR/GV needing 55 mm more girth.
This WRX STI had a badge-engineered twin sold at Saab dealerships: under a GM/Fuji Heavy Industries deal, Saab rebadged it as the 9-2X starting in the 2005 model year.
Subaru badged this Impreza generation as the Saab 9-2X for 2004–06, a WRX wagon wearing Swedish griffins.
Subaru Impreza · Impreza 22B-STi · 1998–1998.
Subaru built just 400 widebody 22B STIs in 1998 to mark its 40th anniversary and third straight WRC title — every one sold out in somewhere between 30 minutes and 48 hours.
All 400 units of the widebody 22B STI, built to mark Subaru's 40th anniversary, sold out within 30 minutes to 48 hours of going on sale in Japan.
Japan's first-generation WRX never came to North America, kept a gentlemen's-agreement rating of 280 PS on paper while actually making about 300.
Rivals
Same body, same money, other badges — tap any card to flip.
It briefly served as senior sibling to Marquette, a GM companion brand cancelled after just one year.
Nissan hired former BMW engineers to help develop the 510's suspension, which is why period reviewers frequently compared its handling to the BMW 1600/2002.
A Trabant 601 won its class at the 1970 Monte Carlo Rally, with a second 601 right behind it in second.
The 600 was a stopgap: the P50's body over the 601's mechanicals, and for a while its estate was built alongside the new 601 saloon.
The G80 Sport brought a 370 PS twin-turbo 3.3 V6, a mesh grille and copper-tinted chrome with copper stitching to match.
The Vigor was sold only with a five-cylinder engine, an unusual configuration Honda used to fit a longer engine transversely under a short hood.
The GS/E coupe earned the nickname "German Charger" for its long hood, short deck stance borrowed from Detroit muscle cars.
This DeVille/Fleetwood was the first production car anywhere to mount its V8 sideways, Cadillac's front-drive gamble on the new C-body.
