Thread: New Subaru WRX!

  1. #1

    New Subaru WRX!

    Yet another body styling change for the Subaru WRX!
    NEW WRX ON MT

    Quote Originally Posted by AUTOBLOG
    It wouldn't be an auto show without embargos breaking everywhere you turn. This one comes courtesy of Motor Trend magazine's May issue, which features the new Subaru Impreza WRX on the cover. A member of the North American Subaru Impreza Owners Club received his copy more than a bit early in the mail, and felt he must do his civic duty and share the pics with us, so we link you to this forum post where scans of the new car are currently being hosted (though who knows for how long).

    There has actually been much speculation about whether or not these pics are the real deal or elaborate photochops. The forum poster, who goes by the handle gravitywrx, only posted scans of the article inside the issue of Motor Trend, neglecting to include scans of the cover or the article's text. At the end of his post he writes, "If you want the specs, buy the May issue of Motor Trend," which supports the notion that this post is a plant by Motor Trend to drum up sales of its mag.

    While we find that hypothesis hard to believe, we do wish gravitywrx had given us a little more. As far as we can tell, the engine and transmission choices for the new WRX will remain identical to the current model, and the five-door wagon has officially been replaced by this five-door hatch. From the pics, it's clear a navigation unit will be an option, as well.

    THere is a fair amount of dispute to the validity of these images. Subaru is making a big announcment in 3 days or so, it is expected to be regarding the redisgned WRX. Like it was said by a few people, it would be really odd for Subaru to keep tight lipped about the car, and then several days prior to the Official release they just say, "F-It!, why don't we let MT break the images first."

    Though, I do HOPE the car looks like the images shown, because if they do the resale value of my 05 just skyrocketed!

    The new motortrend has a article about this. Actually made the cover. I really think Subie screwed the wrx/sti up bad with this one. They say in the article all STi's will be a hatch and the wrx will be offered as a sedan also. A STi as a hatch imo is a horrible idea. I think I should sell my STi and get a 04 cobra.

    Ugly, thats about all I have to say right now. Personally I think it's time for a sleek awd turbo car. Is there a law in japan that says any high powered awd car must look like it's made to go grocery shopping? Even the almighty skyline has never been much to look at imo.

    If its fast and handles better than an Evo, I might even buy one.

    new WRX announced. Looks like the mag shots were right. oh well could be a lot worse. A lot of people stated that the '06 was ugly, I was one of them. But once I saw it in person it wasn't soo bad, started to like it. Hopefully this will be the same.
