When the New Look WRX was introduced in the UK last year, they published a document that described the improvements over the New Age WRX: http://www.subaru.co.uk/imggb/www/su...a_20030103.pdf

At the bottom of page 4 it says:

Both occupants and pedestrians are better protected by the 2003 Impreza thanks to a whole series of extra safety measures. These include new anti-raindrop door mirrors which stay cleaner, enhancing visibility.
I guess this doesn't work as well as Subaru hoped. In the interim, you might consider applying something like RainX to reduce the misting/fogging that occurs when driving in the rain.
