All I've wanted from Subaru for years is to put a turbo driveline in the crosstrek.

Still holding my breath for a proper, high performance auto tranny in a WRX...

Nice.
Though I'm guessing no STI launch, and that's all that matters Wish Mitsu didn't suck and brought back a legit Evo. Should have never sold my X or my DSMs for that matter. |

The website updated with a 360 view and orange and black colors, but crashed before I could take a screenshot

I'm sure it'll still look like a Subaru, so it'll still be butt ugly.

Quoted: Yes! It doesn't even need to be an STI trim but I'd take a 2.4 turbo model, hell I'd even take a EJ205 model. Or they could do the 207 twin scroll lol View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes |

271 and 258what pathetic numbers in this day and age. Jesus subaru. And this is from someone who has had two turbo Legacies, and at one point owned a GC8, bug eye, and blob at the same time. What a fucking disappointment.
ETA VA .2 model. But uglier. If they'd bring back the hatch, it might look decent but that cladding and weird trunk/c pillar is gross. |

I loved my 2018 WRX and that looks horrible. About 20-30hp/tq off the mark of being remotely competitive, and exterior looks garbage. Looks like the only worthwhile thing they did was the driving dynamics control on the GT trim.
|
|
So they added the crosstrek cladding but didn't make one with better ground clearance or put that engine in the crosstrek?
It's like opposite world lol. I don't think it's horrible but after so many decades and stupid incremental updates I am pretty underwhelmed. |

I do like the looks of this… but they should be in the 325hp range by now shouldn’t they? Or are they worried about turning someone’s midlife crisis wagon into an end of life event?

I was really hoping those plastic fenders were limited to the GT trim but nope...they ruin it for me.

What a fucking disappointment. ETA VA .2 model. But uglier. View Quote Came here to post this. Ridiculous. It’s the same horsepower they’ve had since basically mid 2000’s. It wasn’t all that impressive then and its really not impressive now. The interior looks nice. The exterior is fine, they’ve always looked sharp, but even in STI form they are not a bang for your buck car anymore. It’s certainly disappointing compared to the concepts from the last couple years. It looks too much like the Cross/outback models with all the body pieces. I could live with the looks….but The STI is $46,000 loaded and cant competed with anything really from a power standpoint. Audi, Benz, BMW….have hot hatches. The S3, RS3….. The Golf R at lease got an upgrade on performance for 2022 and some other goodies though it’s also expensive at $45,000 for what it is. Disappointing. The WRX needs to be in the 300hp/300tq range at least and the STI at lease 400/400. I’ve been literally waiting for that car. Test drove a 2018 STI on Wednesday actually and an WRX on Thursday with some hope. I’ve almost bought a WRX 2-3 times but they just haven’t quite got me. The Nissan Z will whoop up on it and I’m still interested in it. |

I owned a 2012 WRX STI and am in the market for a new car.
This thing is ugly as hell and about 10 years down on power. |
|
I just want a Crosstrek Wilderness with the 2.0 turbo and manual transmission please.
|
|
Damn they fucked that thing up.
Nothing aggressive looking about it all anymore. We have a 2020 that's been a real fun runaround car, I kinda like it. |

This is Subarus exit from the performance enthusiast market. This is a Impreza/Legacy GT, not a WRX. WRX used to be THE option if you wanted an AWD peppy car with good handling. Now the handling and AWD is ubiquitous across the market, and they absolutely bombed in the power and looks department. Shameful.

Wow, they made it look like a Crosstrek and kept the power numbers the same.
WTF Subaru?! I had been looking forward to the refresh. So much disappointment. |
|
Finally it doesn’t look like a Corolla with a hood scoop.
Now it looks like a Civic with a hood scoop. |

So its the same thing as last year's?
Does this one still drink oil and blow ringlands? |

I can’t believe they are still hung up on NOT selling a hatchback WRX. Had a 2015 and loved it, but when half of them sold are hatches and they decided to only sell sedans? Epic fail.
