Is it the Outback? I downloaded the yank manual and the Outback model was included. No pictures but with that name and the way this one looks it would be a good guess.

That was available in Japan for a while. Not a huge seller though - WRX on stilts really - but v. good on dirt and in snowy climes.

IIRC ride wass pretty good, and yes, it is really the Lancaster/Outback of the Impreza family.

Yea, it is basically an wrx which has been half heartedly combined with an outback.Really didnt come off for them, the bumpers being different colours from the body is pretty wrong, it is really just an "off-road" wrx. Sorry to use the cliched expression but i couldn't think of much else to describe it.
