Of course, it is basically a WRX wagon.

Perfect car for those of us who want something a bit smaller and more nimble than the Forester XT.

The lights in the link picture (with black inserts) look so much better than these

There's an interesting dichotomy pointed out in that article. In Australia, where hatches are very popular, the WRX hatch only accounts for about 10%-15% of WRX sales. Aussies are choosing the sedan. Whereas in the US, where sedans typically lead the sales charts by a long ways, the WRX hatch accounts for about 50% of WRX sales.

Weird.

The black headlights are the LEDs whereas the non-black headlights are HIDs

Why does it matter? Car websites are becoming more or less global, these days.

And some Fords that you can't have
And these
Heaps of these
These too

Raise it up to XV ride height.

leave the bottom edges un-painted.

Sell it as WR-XV as a light truck.

Save some CAFE fine money due to the light truck double-standard. A turbocharged passenger car lineup could cost them government fines... give the 50% market share to the light truck side of the lineup (XV/Forester/Outback), rather than having all the turbos as passenger cars (WRX)

Owners can cross pot-holes and speed bumps with impunity, like a rally car should. Low height is becoming a thing for private tracks, as public roads are left to degrade.
