Some of you guys should really drive the 2015 before you write it off. IMHO, it is much improved in terms of driving dynamics than the previous model. It drives much closer to the Evo than the previous gen but is a little more forgiving in terms of the ride, MPG, and has an improved interior.
Styling is what it is. I wish Subaru would have gone more aggressive, but at the same time the car is so much more improved that the styling is secondary to me.

My point was they keep trying to go different ways hoping to mainstream the car, and their sales numbers for the WRX have been usually 4000-5000 units a month. That is very niche so with those numbers I don't see why they don't just try and appeal to their base and core fans instead of constantly trying to go farther away from them.
Nothing wrong with the new car BTW.
