    Re: [2022] Subaru WRX

    Thanks - how much longer for the STi version do you think?

    It is not a pleasing design at all, in proportions, in detailing, in everything, which is a pity for the effort Subaru must have put into the new model.

    It is good that they kept the flat 4. But Porsche have managed 350HP and 420Nm from a similar engine.

    I think Subaru lives off the past WRX "legends", they do not really offer something interesting. Smiley

    They sell like crazy in New England. 


    Re: [2022] Subaru WRX

    I think a large number of Subaru are made in the USA. This might explain the affection.

    Indeed, because they used to be the only AWD family sedan option. I say used to be because now Toyota offers an AWD Camry. No AWD Accord at Honda.

    I would always choose a new RS3 sedan instead. Maybe not exactly the same price range but very powerful and fun to drive. Also very fast (drove one early this week, amazing power delivery).

    Above is a picture of me and my son with his 2020 BRZ. We modified it with a tune, headers, racing exhaust, big brake kit, tuned suspension, wider rims and Michelin pilot sport 4S tires.  Darnn hot car (220 whp) for under 45K, and a super fun daily driver. We both prefer it to a WRX.


    Re: [2022] Subaru WRX

    Nice !


    Re: [2022] Subaru WRX

    Very good father and son bonding Smiley

    The smaller Subaru looks much larger than the 992. An optical illusion.

    Re: [2022] Subaru WRX

    992 is wider and slightly longer.  Both about same height.  In photo my son and his cat are closer to the camera and therefore distorted….

    The gasoline-powered Subaru WRX STI is dead


    Subaru has cancelled gas-powered engine development for any future STI


    Re: [2022] Subaru WRX

    Pity about stopping ICE development. The flat four was a great one. Never could work out though where and why they have got the styling so wrong in recent generations. The original / first few WRX versions also looked good!!
