Somehow I feel that you’re on the wrong track that the Impreza needs to be separated from the Crosstrek. Right now I believe the Impreza is selling fewer units is simply because Subaru has chosen to build fewer and instead build more of the Crosstrek and that’s because they make more money on the Crosstrek and supplies are still tight. It doesn’t make much sense to me to build an Impreza that doesn’t share sheet metal and interior appointments with the Crosstrek. Why would they want to waste that engineering time and stamping capacity just to create different sheet metal. To revive Impreza sales I believe they should bring them as hybrids and a sedan sport model like the old 2.5RS that preceded the WRX in our market. This time they could build it with the same drivetrain as the Crosstrek Sport and even offer it with the 6 speed manual or even better with the BRZ/GR86 engine.
