The 'hatchback' shape wrx is more of a compact estate than a classical hatchback (for instance having a D pillar, although some newer hatches seem to get that now too), and I think never have been made as a 3 door (instead a 2 door coupe, makes sense as the impreza is originally a sedan platform)

Wow. I can't fault your logic at all... As an Australian it's feels comical to refer to the 2-door WRX as coupe, given our first car that comes to mind when someone says "coupe" in Australia is a Holden Monero. - but you are right. The WRX sedan is a sedan, and the 2-door is the same car but with 2 doors.
In Australia the WRX was the car that
defined the hot-hatch category for a decade or two
