Subaru WRX And STI Pull Off A First-Ever - Fans Aren't Waiting For Next-Gen Models

I personally am waiting for the new one. The looks grew on me quickly. The interior is waaay better than the current cars. Not to mention the FA20 doesnt hold very much power. The old EJ motor is unreliable in too many ways to list. The FA24 is a huge upgrade for this car. Even though the power numbers dont look great on paper it has already been proven that this engine is super over built. Im pretty confident that the power stated by subaru is also on 87 octane fuel as well, just like in the outback and ascent.

Subaru royally efffeeeed up the design and reveal of their nextgen wrx/sti. I havent heard form ANY current subaru owners who like the design. A hatchbackless crosstrek is a borderline reetahded design that no one was asking for. And the premier colors are red and orange? Maybe we'll get some jack o lantern cladding with every preorder.

With those colors, it's assured that we'll also get special edition in gold and the outback green. In this announcement, subru has decided to buy the cow and the farm it was resting on.

I won;t be surprised next year when Subaru's "all new" Wrx STI hatch is a sedan ascent with a wang and 263 horses. Subaru is dangerously out of touch for the future of the brand.

>>Their focus on the Evoltus with no charging network and 1 hybrid might have been a huge mistake that contributed to ruining the wrx by putting the same people who design their non turbo's on the project.

>Had Toyota copy pasted the new Supra using the Camry's shell... that would be just as foolhardy and maybe there would be sabotage to blame.

It's.. well, you know when you have a flagship sports sedan and a crossover SUV, right? and, you take some of the sports sedan out and put in some of the crossover SUV you get, ah.. well, you get less sports sedan and some more crossover SUV, lol. For someone wanting what the car was, this isn't what you want anymore I guess. It's taking a new road and I suspect it's got less time for the track and more time for picking up the kids from soccer.

It's a little obvious why the 2021 sales have picked up. With the lackluster 2022 WRX power combined with hideous styling and cheap plastic cladding everywhere (don't get me started on the disgusting design of the rear end), of course people are rushing to get the 2021s while they still can. Then they went and put their terrible new infotainment system in it, too, where nearly everything is controlled by that giant, laggy, glare prone screen. I've sold Subaru recently and my customers almost all unanimously hate the new infotainment system. It's just not well thought
out and functions quite poorly in comparison to other brands. Quite frankly I think we're all going to be extremely disappointed with the 2023 STi as well. All these unfounded reports of 400hp are going to leave people extremely unhappy when they only end up giving us 315 or 320. I think they lost a lot of potential customers after the debacle that is the new WRX. I was really looking forward to getting another STi when the 2023 is available, but now I'm severely doubting Subaru and may end up joining the people trying to get a 2021 while they're still available. Awful job, Subaru.
