Luckily there's minimal chance of them giving us an unequal length header and single scroll, journal bearing turbo this time
I still wish the EJ257 came with an equal length, twin scroll header and ball bearing turbo like the EJ207. The EJ207 heads would have been nice too.

If this is apparently so "close" - why haven't we even seen any sort of mule/test vehicle yet? There were sightings of the 2015 way back in the summer of 2013 doing hot weather testing before the LA Auto Show reveal that November. At this point, it's going to be shown next year sometime at the earliest and probably be a 2022 or 2023 MY car.

The new LXT is out. It wouldn't be hard to hide an STI drivetrain in one and test mule away. Or in the existing multitudes of WRXs.
They know how their plans are leaked, and likely use it as part of their appetizer buffet. This time is different. Why. If my fantasy is correct they are going to release an STI that'll put the EJ conversation to rest forever. And along with it all the built up disdain for the STi's anacronistic performance. They want to blow some brains out. It's their 20th year and they intend to make it memorable. Like I said, they've done it before. No reason they can't do it again, and it is time. For those who aren't still holding their breath... y'ain't no believer. |

I find it weird too that so far there have been no mules spotted etc.
But you never know I guess. I do feel like lot more info would've been released by now though. I don't know. |

It's clearly going to be released further out at this point, we don't even have a legit concept car either yet too. Just some "VIZIV" things that are abstracts, not close to production ready concepts. |

They need to move an entire year of product as well as those S209s. Yeah I'd keep the next WRX/STI under wraps until the very last second.

I could see them giving more news mid 2020/fall.
You're right though, very weird no news on 2021. If it is DCT, that would be smart, as to appease to both audiences of auto vs manual. |

I don’t have a great feeling about the future of the practical performance car segment in the US. Kinda wish this last gen WRX (I think it will be the last) would come sooner so it doesn’t end up as a BS CUV. “But you guys wanted a hatchback” they’ll say. “Doesn’t get more wagon than this!” |

Whatever it may be, I think any hatch/wagon remotely close to the Levorg would be pretty cool to see in the US. I've always liked the styling and I think they'll hit it out of the park this time around.

Well that's exactly what I want. A Levorg with a stick. My fear is that the closest we'll come is some BS sporty crossover.

Per the Viziv Tourer concept, a new Levorg is coming* that will share the new WRX/STI aesthetics, some sheet metal and probably WRX hardware (surely same as current.) So for it to come now would give a super early preview of the next gen WRX. *I recall Subaru was undecided on whether they would actually build the car when asked about the production future of the Viziv Tourer. |

Also - they're going to be revealing more info on the new the BRZ/86 this year. That meets the "performance" quota for them. And by god does the BRZ need all the help it can get. |

I just personally hope they add about 1-2 inches of leg room by eliminating the useless back seats. I had to sell mine because my leg rested at the worst possible spot and it was infuriating because if the seat went back maybe another inch it would have been a perfect fit. |
