If it is related to the CVT, then I guess I see your point, but again, I don't think they could on the fly change transmissions. The issue could be the dampers. For example, Jeep offers an active suspension and they have been shipping cars without it due to shortages. |

Looks like someone has been absent for awhile and missed a whole lot of fun.

We wanted the Limited trim for the memory seats as the height disparity between my wife and I means I can't physically get in a vehicle she has driven without first sliding the seat waaaay back; no memory seats means no purchase for us; not to mention we'd have to order anything we buy, which means 1-2 months of waiting for it. |

According to car enthusiasts on the internet, "automatics are for disabled drivers and only real men drives manual. All CVTs are **** and should never exist."
I got a manual miata because of that, so my wife divorced me. Perfect |

I may be getting carried away now but based on images available and the grey image for the Tokyo auto salon I did a little photoshop of what the "STI Performance" Variant announced tomorrow will look like. I also used the Levorg fenders to render what could have been if the cladding was omitted, as a bonus.

For a time I rationalized that all the cladding and unpainted plastic was a design choice made to mitigate the ever-slabbier slabness of the car. From sides and rear especially. It was becoming a towering wall of featureless sheetmetal, and this was a Subaru-ey way of addressing it.
But I've seen a lot of pics with the cladding edited out (not to mention actual Levorg pics) that totally invalidate that idea. And not even the pics with like massive aftermarket wheels slammed into the wheel wells. So I just don't know why they did it besides their 100% track record of [car without cladding] + [cladding] = smashing success. |

Since this horse apparently isn't dead...
If they paint that middle strip the yellow arrows are pointing at that forms the sill under the trunk lid, along with the painted arches, I think it could look a lot better. The design of the rear bumper cover is strange. Integrating the top of the diffuser area to create a load lip doesn't visually work. The Levorg doesn't have this issue. It looks good. |
