Probably for the LA autoshow

geekpryde · 06-29-2021, 10:00 AM

Here we go.

Of course, I will be waiting for the STI and also a second-year "all-new" STI at that. I don't want to be the guinea pig.

T-37 · 06-29-2021, 10:01 AM

Possibly sooner?

An "all new Subaru machine" = BRZ? the new WRX? something else?

"Rally Icon"

It used to bother me that they aren't in WRC any more. But then I realize that the little rally thing we do here in North America (and which they are a massive part of) is significantly more relevant and important to me, and its all good.

I'm hoping for some surprises with the WRX but expect it to be just fine.

I tried increasing the brightness to get a better look but the lower half of the car has been masked. Smart.

Still waiting for the STI. No 400hp electric 2.5s to 60, no care

For me the CAD $45,000 question is when will production of the 2021 shut down... if it hasn't already...

I'm in for the speculation.

JP Chestnut · 06-29-2021, 11:49 AM

A 2.4L powered Levorg Sedan seems to be a pretty good bit of speculation.

More hallucination than speculation.

4S-TURBO · 06-29-2021, 12:10 PM

The fast implied is too much for this blood. I’m out.

Reformatt · 06-29-2021, 12:19 PM

Do i spy eyesight in there?

Thanks for the report on your current mental state. Dementia is a bitch but I'm sure someone, somewhere, cares about you.

WhiteRX09 · 06-29-2021, 12:26 PM

Is this going to be the least changed looks wise model year ever? I mean the looks barely look different than the outgoing.

I have been wondering the same thing.

Hey. If Honda could do it standard on the $25,000 Civic Si with zero fanfare, why would you expect Subaru to?

Bluefoton · 06-29-2021, 12:32 PM

Still no hatch?

I agree. From the image it just looks like a VA.

Crazy_Diamond · 06-29-2021, 12:45 PM

No hatch, no buy.

I really think they didn't do a damn thing different between the new WRX and Levorg design process. The 2014 to 2021 Levorg side by side comparisons are barely an update on the exterior. It is more apt to a mid year model refresh than anything.

Exactly; but, I still want to find out if FA24DIT made it under the hood of that new WRX.
