I'm not sure I follow your logic, the first hatch was in 2009. The WRX was always sedans and wagons for over 15 years before they released the first hatchback version. IMHO that was right around the time that Subaru started going downhill.
I wish they would bring back the classic styling of the golden era WRX.
Subaru's suck nowadays because they are underpowered, and uninspired.
