2015 WRX Teased

[exar333]

just looks like a smaller, "edgy-er", Legacy.

This.

Terrible.

Not that I'm particularly following the stylings of the Legacy, but it caught my eye. It looks like a Charger raped a 300M. Concept, but still:

Why are people at all surprised by this? It looks like a slightly sportier Impreza. I like the toned down looks.

 

[soccerballtux]

looks like a corolla+late 2000's civic/accord

 

[GTaudiophile]

What happened to this Subaru? Would have put it at the top of my list in a heartbeat.

Sweet looking car.

The real deal looks like a POS.

 

[flimsy]

starting to look generic

 

[thescreensavers]

Will have to wait a few years for a hatchback I guess.

Rear end looks meh, the front is OK but I prefer the Current Gen.

But I cant wait to hear all the goodies under its skin. I've read its 41% stiffer than mine. I am pretty jealous about that.

I'm hearing they were focusing on the handling first and foremost.

I don't know if this is a "credible" source, but on /Drive

They showcase the new FA20 and how it responded to turbos better than the old FB25 in the STi. In this car 60-70hp more

I have a good hunch that this car will respond greatly to mods

 

[SSSnail]

Looks like a VERY aggressive Corolla.

 

[TridenT]

Front reminds of a ford or a toyota corolla. Rear reminds me of a BMW.


i.e. It's not very unique looking. COPY-PASTA

I'm hearing they were focusing on the handling first and foremost.

Hasn't that always been the Subaru motif? Handling first, then power to match?

The styling cues seen in the concept cars will appear in the Legacy first. And that's not until the next generation. You heard it here first (or by listening to Autoline After Hours' podcast).

I feel like the styling of WRXs and STIs has been going downhill since the 2002-05 generation:

 

[Aharami]

Regardless of the year, it seems Subaru just can't make a nice looking wrx... like ever. I had a 2006 wrx sti and thought it was alright, but looking back at it, it was actually a 35k piece of shit that ran fast.

I think the current WRX is a very nice looking car. Always turn my head when I see one on the road. I'd have bought one if the interior was nicer

Latest update on the WRX:

[Eureka]

Not sure if I'm impressed or not. Hopefully the new STI will be more definitive.

 

[Midwayman]

They doing a wagon? Wonder if the fuel economy has improved any? Current WRX is pretty poor mpg.

 

[Eureka]

No hatch version at least for MY2015. Fuel economy increases slightly with 6MT.

 

[xSkyDrAx]

I wonder if they're going to do the same thing as they did with the 09/10 - 11/13 WRX's which is basically give a new body kit in 2 years to deal with the blandness accusations.

I remember the 09/10s were pretty bland looking as well and a lot of people were pissed about it and then the revamped them for 11 - 13.

I hope not. It is a much nicer looking car when toned down.

So good looking.

 

[Aharami]

Sad that there won't be a hatch anymore

 

[ballmode]

Still holding out for the STI

 

[z1ggy]

First drive by C & D. They seem to like it. Not sure if I am all to thrilled with the $33k expected price tag for a fully loaded with CVT. STI to come next year I assume. At that rate, the STI might be close to $40k fully loaded.

2015 Subaru WRX Evolution...

The front looks like they ripped off the 6 year old Evo design but made the hood scoop larger and color matched the spot between the upper and lower grill.
