Is it a hatch or have a trunk? Hard to tell from the photo.

It's possible that the car in the first post is actually a test mule for the 2010 Toyota Prius (or maybe a Subaru variant of the Prius?)

Look at the similarities in the front ends:

^ doubt it. it's too sporty to be a prius, and the badge on the front doesn't look like toyota

Looks like a 4 door car, I'm thinking a sedan wrx/sti and not the rwd coupe.

there is a pretty cool article in the last car and driver that has an interview with the guy that does a lot of the camo for test cars. they often make coupes look like sedans and sedans look like hatchback quite a bit to create exactly this kind of confusion. that spy shot could be of anything

I sure hope so. I guess that makes sense because this car will be based on the impreza so it's bound to have some of its inherent proportions.

the test mule looks like a chopped up legacy or actually well camouflaged legacy
