Hmmm... I'm actually hoping they bring the wrx wagon back or something similar like the Levorg or the touring concept.

Release in 6 or so years should be perfect for me come time for a second child seat.

Damn. Haha. Im looking for a bugeye though. I miss those seats.

I want one of those new lifted imprezas.

I just realized the forums look different... Did they do some minor layout changes? The main site looks the same... That 86 up top is bugging me. That 6 looks more like a G. I dislike it.

New WRX debut in about an hour. Anyone going to watch the livestream? http://www.subaru.com/auto-show/la-2013.html

Eh. Ill be in the middle of hearings. Its been leaked for so long though. Wonder what kind of specs they'll dish out.

Any nissan fan boys here get there hopes crushed with the CEOs comments about the idx?

Haha, you got the e-mail too eh? I'll probably sneak it in between CAD designing (double screens FTW!)

I was kinda meh (as a former 510 wagon owner), but the Nismo version looks pretty good (could also be just the BRE-ish paint scheme tugging at my heart-srtings)

Yeah, I'm curious about the specs, glad they are finally going with a 6MT. Also want to see what it really looks like all around, cause all I've seen so far is photoshop renders.

Looks like Subaru is finding out the hard way that live streaming is not that easy...

Basically a "not-bad" reveal for me. The styling of the front and rear are nice, but nothing I'm head-over-heels on. Interior looks nice, really love the steering wheel (I want that in the BRZ!). Also, is it weird that all I could think of is if its possible to shoehorn that DI-turbo'd FA engine into the BRZ? Also, that legacy concept really reminds of the newer buicks may look better in wagon form.

Hideous wheels. Nice snout. Rear quarter panel looks like a Civic.

It leaked 4 days ago. All the pics have been all over the web all week. Including it's CVT transmission.

My thoughts exactly. The exterior is pretty boring, but the interior they really made a lot nicer. And at this point I'm just waiting for the first engine swap to happen..
