The New WRX (MY2023+) RUMORS ONLY

[rallly 4]

Subaru of America has fully expressed to
The parent company in Japan that changes need to be made ASAP. It’s so bad in Camden, NJ HQ that the employees themselves aren’t willing to let the model go
Another model year without major changes planned or implemented. The 2023 model year may offer painted plastic moldings as standard - but that isn’t enough. The company is aiming to bring back the hatchback body style as it sees VW and especially Toyota attracting much of its customer base. The WRX sales being down nearly 60% (and no signs of improving) are causing big wigs in the US branch of the company to lobbying for the Hatchback and even the STI’s return as well - in hatchback form only. We should hear more about this in the late winter / early spring.
