A lot of people would've liked it if Subaru didn't troll everyone with that stunning concept.

Am I the only one that actually sees a lot of Version 5 GC8 in the front end. Similar shaped upper grille, stretched lower grille, Signal are down with the fogs (which still has that small area with a horizontal division), headlights are essentially just a streamlined version. I don't see evo. Especially from a side or rear shot.


I know it's the wrx but the front is almost identical

Considering the interior of the WRX was really good, this new STI must be awesome package. Will definitely beat the new Golf R in sales.

New wrx, wouldn't call it hideous but it something is off. I just don't like the windowlines(roofline) and that stumpy rear end. The older style wrx had a nice 'ass'

From what I felt today was a lot of unenthusiastic response. I guess mainly it's the same engine from last gen and not much of a step to the WRX. I think it needs to be drive first. The Launch Edition looks like something everyone wants although it's only 1000 units.

And the STi has lost what it once had 2013/4 or bust. Also, it no longer has UELH so you will be losing the iconic boxer sound. Sad sad times. Toyota called, they want their rally corolla back =(

I know it's the wrx but the front is almost identical
glad someone's finally said this

also to all you saying it looks like an Evolution.

the Imreza WRX nad Evolution have always looked similar



the one exception being the 'Bugeye' and that was only the front end.



they've always been 2 compact (use that term lightly nowadays) cars that had turbocharged 4-cylinders, and big ass rally wings (excluding the first two evos and the Wrx wagons).

so why is the fact that is slightly resembles an evo relevant now?
