Quote from todays paper in the motoring section under Whats New? for next year:

" Subaru's new generation Impreza arrives in the fouth quarter, when the high performance WRX and STI variants will drop the the Impreza tag"

They will now be known as Subaru WRX and a Subaru WRX STI I'm going to say.

Rather than there current Subaru Impreza WRX and Subaru Impreza WRX STI

If you have a look on the Subaru Australia website, it already lists them as WRX and WRX STI, with nary a mention of Impreza...

dropping the impreza name was only a matter of time, likewise the 'wrx' name will likley soon be dropped in favour of 'gt'

Not read the article but the current models have already dropped the Impreza name. WRX and WRX STI are the official names.
