Many people weren't fans of the "bugeye" Impreza so it wasn't bought.
Late 2003/2004 came the front facsia change. This is when more people started to buy it. And when Mitsubishi brought the Evolution VIII to the US. This prompted Subaru to release the STi over here.
Unfortunately I don't have a sales demographics to aide this.
It was around these times (late 2004 - early 2005) that I personally began to see a growth in local area WRXs.
Now the WRX, STi, and Evolution are all "metoo" cars.

I don't see why a car being appealing to alot of people and alot of them buying it classifies them as jumping on a bandwagon. I think the real word for it is a good product and good marketing and a good price.
