I have seen it enough times before. They keep saying this but I doubt anything bigger will come out anytime soon.

Reasons behind my comment:
1. Europeans are not like us in the US. They want cars with smaller engines. We want cars that use 5mpg. They want 50mpg.
2. WRX/Impreza is selling. It is FHI/SOA's advantage to keep pumping on what sells.
3. They don't want the same mistake they made on the SVX worldwide. So the new car will not be labled with the SVX tag since SVX means failure (in the FHI/SOA's eyes).
4. FHI/SOA is a small fish in the bigpond of people making 2 door coupes and the market already has a ton of Hondas and Toyotas -- And they sell due to the name (Ask people that goes to Subaru Dealerships about VDC system and see how many understand and how many seen one VS. ask someone at Honda showroom about Honda's ABS).
5. Even if they do design it, it will never be an engineer's car. It will always be the accountant's car. Look at Baja compare to STX.

Need I say more?
