They are claiming it's the best handling wrx to date, that's another check in he new column. They are claiming up to 30 mpg's I'm sure highway. The interior is nicer then wrx's in the past. Power seats finally in an impreza is a nice step as well. Oh yeah lets not forget the 6 speed. I fail to see how any of this can be compared to an 08' model.

So now you see I made my point and have specific examples. You should try doing the same to actually have a valid point. Plus you drive an 03' wrx. This car is worlds better then your old box.
Its all really very simple. For $40k look around and recognize what's available: Audi, Cadillac, BMW and Mercedes all offer AWD rockets at this price point new or barely used. Go drive an S4 or ATS4 then the new STI and tell me where your $40k is better spent. Its not even close.

Subaru needs to make the performance gap what it once was in 2004 and to a lesser extent in 2008 to justify the price.

Making compromises to what makes a Subaru a Subaru for 3HP, carrying over 20 year old engines over promising with concept design is turning their backs on loyal Subaru fans. So get a clue Chief... and insulting another member's WRX is pretty weak.

You just showed your stripes. Carrying a 20 year old engine? Don't make comments about stuff you don't know about. It doesn't have an ej. The eh'd are extinct from here on out. If you're making comments about a car and how much of a disappointment it is and not even know what engine is in it you make yourself look pretty lame.

I wasn't insulting your wrx, I was stating a fact.

All BS aside... i know it'll be hard for you trolls in your mothers' basements, consider this:

No hatch to suposedly focus development funds. This from a company posting record sales. Turning their backs on half their previous buyers.

A carry over engine in the halo car, how Toyota of them. Makes me think there wasn't going to be a 2015 STI until the eleventh hour. An afterthought at best.

The little things like weight gain and equal length headers, not to mention questionable styling make it painfully obvious that Subaru isn't putting its all into these cars anymore. But they'll still ask for more of your money. You shmucks would likely give it to them if you had jobs or decent credit scores.

Again you don't know much. Just because a company is posting record sales that doesn't mean they should go blowing money just because some guy with a 2002 automatic subaru wants a hatch. They will sell just fine I'm sure judging by the huge boom in impreza sales once the new impreza body was released. In fact it destroyed all other impreza sales every for any body.

Clearly you can't read. We'll start with your comment about a "carry over engine". Carry over? Carry over from what? You're not making sense. Only going off the fact that you think the new wrx's and sti's are going to be running a 20 year old ej engine I assume again you don't know what you're talking about.

Do you even know what a halo car is? How old are you seriously? You claim to be married and refer to us here as kids living in a basement of our parents house yet you drive an old automatic wrx and claim a wrx/sti is Subaru's halo car when besides the tribecca which will not be made anymore and the brz which was obviously limited in production is the smallest selling subaru car. Currently Subaru's halo car is the Forester or outback. They have been subaru's best sellers for many years now.

Headers? More wrongful info from you. The car does not have headers, a camaro has headers. A subaru has one "header" not more then one. I like schooling you it's fun. Again the combination of direct injection, twin scroll turbo (which always comes with equal lengths due to efficiency and making as much power as possible) will make this car easily fun to drive and probably make better power then the current stage 1 tuned wrx once cobb or tuners get their hands on them.

I'm really not seeing subaru's questionable styling here. I think the car looks pretty decent minus the rim design and black wheels. The interior looks nice, dash isn't plastic like all the old wrx's. It has a 6 speed which has been cried for by everyone since the wrx was introduced. The car is claimed as the best handling wrx every produced. I'm sure they would not make this claim if it weren't true. Again I point out that you think subaru isn't putting anything into these cars anymore yet you drive an 02' auto wrx. Those things factory are absolutely hideous. In fact all US wrx's are pretty damn ugly from the factory until the 2011 was introduced.

It's very clear you do not have a good paying job or credit score since you drive your wifes wrx who owned the car before you guys met. It's clear you're not going to be buying a car for a long while so I'm sure subaru doesn't car that you're not purchasing one.

Subaru is not Ford, when you realize this you will be better off. The volume of cars Ford sells is ridiculous. If Subaru sold even a quarter of what Ford did maybe prices could be different but they don't and won't for a while. So get over it.

Wow what a coincidence you drive an 06' wrx. I could have guessed you were going to say you thought they were the best. I'd stick to a gc any day of the week out of not wanting a car that every kid getting their license wants. Then if I was going to pick I'd go 11-14'. Can't say anything about the 15's because obviously no one has driven them yet minus media.

literally every counter point you are making is wrong. and sad.. and i love that you know my entire back story. especially the part where i bought my wife a 2012 Tribeca. sorry you have no significant other to hoon with in your RS.

the new sti is using a carry over engine... try reading something other than the comments sections. school yourself on the two seperate headers on the ej thats carried over on the sti.... as for the wrx, how can something be equal lenth if theres only one of them? along with a TWIN scroll turbo. pretty simple logic. you can call it what you want but theyre two pieces on opposite sides of the engine.

looks are subjective and the wrx has never been beautiful but dont show a gorgeous concept then under deliver while touting your sales numbers.

That's where you're wrong. When I've made points I've backed them up. When you make points you just say Subaru is turning it's back on customers.

I don't claim to know your life story. I was making a generalization of your life (which is easy) just like you tried to make a generalization about me living in my parents basement and not having a good credit score. So I will start out by saying my 99 Rs was far better and faster then your auto wrx would ever be. I bought it for 15k with 17 miles on it. I then sold it for 13k, 2k less then I originally purchased it for. I'll put money on that you can't do that with your car. You bought your wife a crappy tribeca....congrats, they suck. I work on them daily. I will tell you however I do own an acura tl and just purchased an 08' spec b legacy. Both those cars are better then your two cars. Would you still like to compare? My wife drives a 2011 BMW 328. Wanna still compare your life to mine and see who is better off? We're not driving 02 auto wrx's.

Again you fail to know what you're talking about. You keep saying they are using a carry over engine. I can tell you don't know what that means just like you don't know what a halo car is. The 2015 Sti will not carry over the ej25 it will be running an fa25 which is Subaru's new engine. Before you try and argue with me
I work on these cars everyday and go to new model updates every year. When a new engine is released we tear it down and rebuild it. So again your not stating any facts.

Now to your twin scroll comment that you know nothing about. There is a difference between me and you, I know what I'm talking about and you don't. You just stated to me that just because the turbo set up is called a TWIN scroll that it has two headers. This is a twin scroll header btw.




This is a regular wrx header:




This is camaro headers:



As you see there is a reason it's called a header or headers. When you add an "s" to it like that it means plural. Plural means more than 1. I'm sorry but you make it easy. You should just stop trying now.

All generalization based on your personal opinion. No one here has driven the new STI to make that decision. We also don't know the price of the new STI. Doll has said that the new STI will start "not much more than the base WRX". "Not much" is too general per person, but for all we know now, the WRX Limited could cost more than the base STI. Also, current STIs don't cost $40k unless you buy every option on the Limited, at MSRP, and add in TTL.

Do they really need to widen the gap? They do in your opinion from your perspective. Some of us faithful don't care so much for the horsepower wars. I prefer a better handling car to a more powerful car, and 305 hp is enough for me. I feel that the new style will be a better driver's car. You want more hp, and that's fine... But you can't place your opinion on everyone. For instance, if Subaru made a 450 horsepower car with GR handling capabilities, I would simply say the "car is not for me in stock configuration", not that "Subaru has turned it's back on the faithful".

This particular "faithful" hates hatches, and also understands future oriented thinking. If you look at Subaru's history, they tend to start out with a single body style and work up to multiple body styles and changes. People like you won't buy the launch model, but others will for various reasons that are different from your own personal reasons... Then down the road they'll be refreshes, a hatch, a new engine in the STI, blah blah blah. People will think their "complaints made Subaru change it" when really it's just better business sense to over a redesign then make changes throughout the cycle.

Looks are indeed subjective, and the concept never would have made it on the showroom floor. As with every concept sans-BRZ, they take ideas from it and place it on the final production vehicle. And again, some of us (less vocal Subaru faithful) don't mind the looks of the new model. If I'm impressed after a test drive, I'm definitely buying one because I like what I see so far.

Finally, your comment "Subaru has turned it's back on the faithful" is again an opinionated generalization. You don't like the redesign, and that's fine. But your perspective can't place an over-generalization on an entire company.

Um, I also didn't see anything on a FA25 yet... I was also under the impression that the new STI will have the EJ25 while the new WRX will have the FA20.

The Concept, of course, looked so much better. I dunno, but last good model to me was the Blob eye. Just my 2 cents.

It sounds like you know more than me about the new incoming fa25. Are they going to be changing the internals to allow for greater tuning (i.e. rings, pistons, rods etc.) Also do you know if this is direct injection like its little brother? Cuz that would make me a lot more sense on its ability to be a monster.... thanks for the reply

I don't claim to know your life story. I was making a generalization of your life (which is easy) just like you tried to make a generalization about me living in my parents basement and not having a good credit score. So I will start out by saying my 99 Rs was far better and faster then your auto wrx would ever be. I bought it for 15k with 17 miles on it. I then sold it for 13k, 2k less then I originally purchased it for. I'll put money on that you can't do that with your car. You bought your wife a crappy tribeca....congrats, they suck. I work on them daily. I will tell you however I do own an acura tl and just purchased an 08' spec b legacy. Both those cars are better then your two cars. Would you still like to compare? My wife drives a 2011 BMW 328. Wanna still compare your life to mine and see who is better off? We're not driving 02 auto wrx's.




Again you fail to know what you're talking about. You keep saying they are using a carry over engine. I can tell you don't know what that means just like you don't know what a halo car is. The 2015 Sti will not carry over the ej25 it will be running an fa25 which is Subaru's new engine. Before you try and argue with me
I work on these cars everyday and go to new model updates every year. When a new engine is released we tear it down and rebuild it. So again your not stating any facts.

Now to your twin scroll comment that you know nothing about. There is a difference between me and you, I know what I'm talking about and you don't. You just stated to me that just because the turbo set up is called a TWIN scroll that it has two headers. This is a twin scroll header btw.




This is a regular wrx header:




This is camaro headers:



As you see there is a reason it's called a header or headers. When you add an "s" to it like that it means plural. Plural means more than 1. I'm sorry but you make it easy. You should just stop trying now.
What a load of utter bull**** and epic fail. 2015 STI has the EJ25 carried over.

The '15 WRX is not immediately stunning like the concept but it's really only one or two mods away from being gorgeous. Lower it on some bigger wheels and then start tuning. I will be getting a red one with the CVT.



Tell me that's not sexy... The only WRX body style that cannot be saved is the '08 jelly bean.

It actually doesn't look bad as a coupe. I had no idea Subaru was releasing a coupe version. You'd think they'd focus on a hatch more.

I wasn't insulting your wrx, I was stating a fact.
Do you have a source for the STI not using a carry over EJ257 engine? Everything I've read said that it will be a carry over. I'd actually consider buying one at the end of the year when they're giving them away because no one will pay $40k. I picked up both my new 05 STi and 08 STI dirt cheap doing that, tracked the crap out of them for 3 years and sold them for $3k and $4k less than I paid. Worked out really well.

All this whining, and most of it is coming from people who bought the WRX that was the biggest downgrade from its predecessor in the looks department




I remember in 2006 everyone hated the hawkeye too

I'm glad the EL headers seem to be driving idiots away from this car
