The dates are wrong. The WRX refresh is for 2014 MY or so the NASIOC community has posted about many times already. 2013 MY is supposed to carry over the 2012 MY style and have only minor mechanical bumps. 2014MY is supposed to be the WRX to watch out for.

I also read 2015, which would also make sense, but we'll see.

(This part is all my opinion, don't get offended and rage out because I don't like something you like) They've slowly been taking their designs in an awful direction. They destroyed the Legacy. 2005 2.5 GT wagon/sedan was such an awesome car. 2004-2005 WRX, 2006 WRX all pretty nice. Then the hatchback happened. It's gotten more "subaru-like" since then, but the rest of their line has been starting to take a devastatingly ugly path. The BRZ is a welcome design change for them though.

I imagine that by the fall we'll know more about the WRX refresh. I'm curious to see if they'll handle two rumors:

1) This one, the electric Turbo
2) Using the BRZ frame as the basis for the redesign of the chassis.
