I'm laughing here with everyone comparing the new versions to the civic R, when honda copied the subie look originally. How can subaru be the copycat of their own look? Sheesh, give it a rest already.
In for more pics |

They should be able to squeeze 350hp out of the new ascent engine right? No doubt vw will engage in a power war with ford and give the next golf R 350 hp, so why wouldnt subaru?
The STIs drivetrain has been unchanged from 2004-2018. Time for more than 305-320 hp right? |

I don't think a cheap sporty hybrid is in the cards for a loooong time. By the time you shovel in a couple electric motors and batteries to run them (in addition to the normal drivetrain), the curb weight has gone through the roof. All the mass requires heroic amounts of power to accelerate, which doesn't come cheap. |

What I'm saying is that if SUBARU is doing a hybrid sti it would be my guess that it is only to compensate for turbo lag.not a full on motor. And what's 5k more for an sti anyway right?? They are 48k right now.. When I bought my 13 sti it cost me 35k and when we got the 15 WRX premium it cost the same, for what some refer as just a turbo Camry. I whole heartedly think a limited my20 sti will sticker for 50k before ttyl and it better pack the balls to back that up

Oh well I'm sure the sgb will make it handle nicely even if we just get a 300hp DIT..... Rather that than a heavy expensive auto hybrid tho |

I am pretty sure power isn't their gig. Performance is. If they could make the car faster with a 270hp engine, I think they would do it. Now, that was just an example. I am sure it'll get a power bump; but, not crazy. They SAID they want to be the leader again; so, in my opinion, faster it will be. |

me too but what if they gave you 350/350hp/tq..but the motor could only handle 350/350whp/tq on stock internals like the current ej, would you consider this car better? Even at 380whp/tq that's really not much more than what shops are able to get out of the sti now with 3to4 grand in mods. Tbh this car needs 400 hp capable of 430+ or it needs to be 330+ and weigh the same as a brz

Subaru still cant source a GOOD stereo, so I highly doubt it’s a hybrid. Subaru is too slow to adopt such tech. It will have a new engine, either 2.0 or 2.4. More news should be on tap at the NY auto show I bet.

You guys should remember that Subaru is the young kid on the block. Its just turning 50 which is only half the age of major car companies. I would say Subaru is leading the way. Its not all about power. Look at the Ford RS having a recall with its motor. The Golf R is nice yet cost much more then a STI. I am sure Subaru knows what it is doing. Side note the HK stereo is a great system. I havent any issues with with.

The H/K in my Impreza is great. No rattles. I thought there were, but it's actually a loose cover attached to the rear view mirror next to the EyeSight cameras.

The only drawback to the H/K is the connection issues early on, losing presets, etc...
I think they've for the most part worked out all the kinks. I can't even get my Pixel 2 to Handshake in my new to me '14 BRZ. --kC |

I just stream the audio from my phone over Bluetooth, I've never had an issue there. I could see irritation there if it happened to me.

My money is on bringing the two options. Hybrid and non hybrid. Depending on the market.
