Don't make me put my entire history of the Impreza on there.
I'm not saying the watermelon crap is right. I'm just saying that when the GD chassis came out, there was a ton of bitching about a lack of coupe, and the reasoning from Subaru was that it's 'cause they were able to make the GD significantly stiffer for rallying, but that it required 4-doors only. The purpose wasn't for safety alone, they were improving the platform to go racing.
