A "final edition" send off before we see the new gen. It was stated a few years ago at the NY Auto Show that STi would be introducing more limited edition vehicles and parts offerings to the U.S. and with the Type RA and now possibly this, it might finally be coming to fruition. This car would undoubtedly cost more than the Type RA, but Subaru must be pleased with the number that were taken.

I really hope it doesn't come in that awful "grey khaki" body color.

I cannot wait for this body style to be gone.
Car only had a few angles that looked good. |

This car needs to go, long overdue, along with the museum quality engine. Not that I expect much from Subaru these days, but I'll keep an open mind. |

I love the current generation and am glad to see an S20x come stateside. The only thing that doesn't draw me about the new body is that I see so many...good for Subaru, but the roads are littered with them. At least in my area. Doesn't matter though, as only kid haulers seem to be in my near future. Can Subaru bring back a fun wagon...

My 2011 hatch was the best WRX I ever had in so far as a total package. Stage 1.5 ish, nice gold wheels, good tires, and a manual. Such a great car. Still looks good to me today.

How do we know that Subaru won't continue to use this motor as the new motor in the new generation to carry on its iconic characteristics with more power? Just a question. Last edited by ProZach626; 12-18-2018 at 11:17 AM. |

If I would have known back then how this all was going to play out, I would have kept my ‘08 STi, pulled the motor, completely forged it, precision turbo, FMIC, Ohlins, would have gone full boar. I loved the body style, simple dash, comfortable seats, etc. Hindsight is 20/20 and none of us could have guessed the tard level of SOA. Too late and I’m happy but man a 6spd Levorg would have been sick.

I think the EJ series has just about run its course...I may be wrong, but isn't the STi the only Subaru continuing to use this series engine? It was a great engine and not without its problems, but everyone else is moving forward and Subaru has not...when I read the C&D article comparing the 04 STi to the 15 STi. I knew the 15 was a better car beforehand, but the performance numbers are just too similar to continue with this drive-train.
The information being leaked, pondered and compared lead most to believe it will be replaced with the next generation. I also wish Subaru would put out a performance oriented standard or dual clutch transmission...this CVT stuff in performance cars and the Ascent just isn't my bag, even though it seems Subaru does CVT well. In some applications strength and longevity are the correct trade-off vs a slight improvement in fuel economy. Last edited by Gixhost; 12-18-2018 at 11:45 AM. |

... so is there a real chance of this happening, or is this just a bunch of hot air?

So basically we won't see a new gen STI until 2020 as a MY2021. That works for my timeline.
Current gen definitely headed in the right direction where the WRX is concerned. I've just been done with it since they premiered it. Can't wait for the next step that'll still be two steps behind the car it's derived from! "The 2021 WRX comes pre-outdated!" |

probably longer than that, Subaru will just keep pumpin out special editions every year till they sell enough ascents and foresters with another redesign inbetween.

With no competition except the Civic Type R, I wouldn’t be surprised if this is indeed true. Here’s hoping Nissan helps Mitsubishi bring back an EVO. Here’s hoping Ford brings us a new RS Here’s hoping Honda brings an AWD variant in the next gen Type R (they already have SH AWD) |

I really hope Subaru delivers with the next gen WRX/STI but I don't really like any of their styling. The previous gen WRX/STI both look better to me than the current gen but the interior was pretty bad unless you really like hard, cheap, plastic. |

BRZ S209. Floor mats and chassis bracing for $$$. Like taking candy from an adult basement baby.
