View Full Version : return of the Brat... BManning 10-13-2001, 02:07 PM A Subaru dealer here in northern NJ tells me that the Brat will be coming back, and with a tilt toward off-road ability... Anyone else heard this? Should we start praying now for the 212hp 6cyl? jwaters 10-13-2001, 05:38 PM Might he be thinking of the ST-X? imprezawrxsti.com 10-13-2001, 07:13 PM A new Brat is on the way late 2002 as a 2003. Don't know what they will actually call it though, or specs...

I know the dealers in the Penn Jersey region were told this at a regional meeting in the summer that surveys showed Brat to be the overwhelming choice and chances were everyone would refer to it as a Brat anyway, no matter what it was called. Smart move I think. wrxracer 10-14-2001, 10:24 AM go to www.renicksubaru.com they have a little more info and a picture of what it might look like...:devil: :devil: PURE EPI 10-14-2001, 10:37 AM HEHE...:D WHOOO WHHOOOOO BTW... GM (due to their stake in FHI) has already released a technology similar to the ST-X concept with the Chevy Avalanche. has anyone seen the commercials for it?? the back part of the bed folds down with the glass stowed a la Subaru....:D eastbaysubaru 10-14-2001, 11:26 PM That 'thing' is HEINOUS. I don't know why they would try to compete in that *****ty market. Who the hell is going to buy one of those? Lame. -Brian bluesubie 10-15-2001, 10:45 AM Yes, it will be called the BRAT and will be out in Nov. of '02 (earlier I hope). A while ago, the engineers were having safety issues with the "switchback" and are trying to figure out how to keep it. Dennis Bigred14 10-15-2001, 01:51 PM The STX has been out for awhile as a concept car probably oevr a year. It was at the major Auto SAhows begining of this year. Supercharged 4cyl. Crago changing thingy similar to the Avalanche I don't think it will have the seats in the bed like the brat did. To concept car also had a sweet McIntosh Audio system in it. The Outback VDC edition has the McIntosh system available in it. I didn't think it was coming out till 2003. Irvine Subaru 10-15-2001, 03:21 PM We've had info on the STX concept on our site for a while. Subaru will be unveiling the production version (called the Brat) at the Detroit auto show in January. I don't have a confirmed power plant yet. www.irvinesubaru.com GM has used a Subaru drivetrain and Turbo 2.5L motor in its Borrego concept vehicle. I just saw it this past week at the Anaheim Auto Show. Had a chance to slide under it. They were calling it a supercharged motor until they were corrected. It has an obvious up-pipe and down-pipe. Didn't get to look under the hood though. Ryan akm3 09-05-2006, 04:21 PM I hope it sells well... cyrexpl 09-05-2006, 04:27 PM I hope it sells well... Wow. . . way to bring back a thread from the dead. I think the Baja was the Brat reborn, oh and it flopped.

I saw this pop up and I got all excited... screw you post-diggers :) I don't care how bad it did, the Baja was cool. I wouldn't mind finding one and turning it into an offroad beast when I move out west.
