And if this car has a stronger engine than the next size modell, well, that is something you can´t explain to your customer.

Subaru has been rethinking a lot of things the past few years. Why couldn't they use the term WRX or STI for a completely new car? Heck. They might even give it a new name.

first you said "a completly new WRX/STI"....outside of Japan, they never sold officially a Legacy STI or Forester STI. And the term WRX is stuck to the Impreza.

I agree, we both don´t know, but if you want to participate to Motorsports, you burn money, and your aim is to win.

There are no WRC-bullets in Subarus Colt. The only possibility is to take the Impreza and transform it to one ugly WTCC-car.

Let´s wait til 2014

To be a rally replica this car needed to be all wheel drive. So much potential, all wasted.

They don't have to develop a completely new car. All they have to do is modify existing technology and equipment(read current Impreza and BRZ).

Car companies have been doing this for years. Wasn't the STI stronger than the Legacy? What about the Camaro, Mustang, Challenger, ect., ect., ect.?
