When the '08 STi came out and it was only available in a 5-door, Subaru fans weren't very happy. They brought back the sedan version in '11. Do you guys think that they'd go a step further and bring back the 2 door version with the 4th Gen WRX?
I'm also curious just from a naming standpoint how things will pan out. It's been odd explaining to folks that I own a 4th Generation Impreza but the current WRX is a 3rd Generation design. Will these generational classifications continue off the same Impreza branch? Or will the WRX, since it'll be it's own thing, start over with "1st Generation WRX"? Not that it's super important, but as far as vehicle history goes, I'm kind of interested where it goes from here. |

You wouldn't start over the generation designation since the WRX has existed in the U.S. since MY2002. Even though they've separated, the models are still going to continue being what they've been for 10+ years.
So are we still speculating that we're either not getting MY2014 WRX/STI or just a very, very short run of MY2014 before the MY2015 are revealed? |

I am thinking that the 2012 is the First Generation WRX/STI, since they have dropped the Impreza name and chassis. The 2015 version will be the Second Generation.

I'll go on record as saying that I wouldn't be bummed out if the new WRX/STI *ONLY* came in 3 and 5 door "hot hatches". In fact, I'm regretting that I got a sedan in the first place. If Subie did offer a turbocharged (auto or CVT) XV with at least FXT power, I'd be all over it.

I would not expect Subaru to make 3 new body styles (2door, 4 door, hatch), I just dont see it, unless the STi is only available in a 2 door and the WRX is hatch and sedan.

I could see the advance touring being a little shorter like this. http://www.flickr.com/photos/9420353...ream/lightbox/

Given the past few years' concepts - Impreza, XV, BRZ STI or whatever - I'm thinking it will be pretty close. But they can get a little exaggerated around the edges - Impreza real vs. concept for example.

They'll call it a concept just in case everyone hates it, that way they can say later that it was just a styling exercise. If everyone loves it, it'll probably make production (in uglified form).

I have a feeling that they are going to do the same thing as the brz concept. Make it really agressive as a concept, then tone it down for the final production. If not, Im just going to put a new motor in my bug eye.

We know it's something related to the WRX. The question is what exactly. New model? Production ready "Concept"? Trolling? |

It says the Impreza WRX is on the outs. That's well known, we're never going to see the WRX, or STI referenced to as a trim line of the Impreza, it's going to be its own model. If they're saying the name WRX is going away? I doubt it. |
