WRX Concept

Saw a wagon one online somewhere, actually looked fucking good. Proper gen4 liberty lines without the bonnet long headlights of the gen5.

I think they're applying a different name to the wagonoid they're releasing ... it's not a WRX nor an Impreza, but it's barely more different from an Impreza than an XV is.

Is this what you're talking about, the Le Forg?



That's only the "concept" version, I reckon they'll bring the appearance of the front more into line with the Impreza & WRX when it's produced.

That looks pretty good. But I still don't understand why the WRX still exists (with the Liberty being around).

The Liberty is currently approximately the size of the Queen Mary II.
In fact, the upcoming facelift will include a trio of water-slides on the roof.

I see it as more of why does the Liberty still exist with the WRX being around.

I really like the WRX hatch.

More to the point, why do subaru make great cars that look like heaps of shit, and have a concepts that look the bomb, but production models which look like a dilating anus.

Anus for comparison

Given the wrx is now powered by the new FA boxer engine (and the forester gt) it should almost be a bolt in upgrade for the brz/86 when people start wrapping these around trees, poles etc?

They don't fit AFAIK

That levorg, with ever so subtle changes could look really excellent. The quarter glass I dont know about though....

[Pyrite]

Something very volvo-ish about it.

As for the Liberty GT.. who said the next Liberty will have a turbo GT model?
It ain't in the new US range. 2.5L and 3.6L only.

Saw a new WRX in the flesh today and it's even uglier than in the pictures. This one was blue but MAYBE in a black/dark grey it would look OK.

so I test drove one of these today, a local dealer dropped by and showed us through the new WRX – the interior is much more refined and less boy racer-ish... the model i drove was their "premium" roughly $52k.

it looked nice, sadly it was auto but with the paddle shifts it went well... certanly not laggy and the upshift was very quick. it only had 80km on it and it very quickly had that brand new bedding smell for the brakes

the harmon kardon was "meh" – i only had the radio on but it didnt really seem that great.

overall the car was "nice" – it handled well, wasnt too laggy and definitely livable for a daily driver but given the competition at this price segment i'm not convinced it's enough to sway too many away from Golf GTI/A Class/1 series etc... the STI is priced around $62k to compete with R/135/A250 etc but I'm not quite sure they'll achieve the sales they seek.

i did like the rear end, very BRZ ish. i believe the official launch is 1 may, if youre looking for a new ride around $50k perhaps it's worth a look ?
