Are you like 12 or something? Dude, chill out. There's more to life man.

The BRZ and WRX are two completely different animals that offer two completely different driving experiences. I don't see them as competition to each other. I'd personally like to own both if I could afford it. As far as the new WRX over its predecessors, I like the look of the exterior and the interior appears to be more upscale than the current gen. Will be interesting to see one in the flesh...

Just got the wife a silver 2014 WRX. It's faster then my Charged FRS.... Doesn't handle nearly as good. Stock boost on a 2014 wrx is 14lb's. Looks like to get more power they opened up the exhaust, cranked the boost up, and gave it a bigger intercooler..... A 2014 WRX will make 300WHP 330WTQ with a turbo back exhaust, intake, EBC, and tune..... Slightly more with a intercooler upgrade. This model wont make near that much on 20lb's of boost. I'll tell you that right now. But this is why we got her the 14 hatch. Glad to see her car will be more of a collectors item now that they are not making hatch's for 15.

Those bigger brakes n 6 speed are a nice upgrade with stiffer spring rates though. I wouldn't be sold until I see how much the new WRX weighs and it's price point compared to the 2014 WRX.

Looks like complete ass. Why is this even being compared to the BRZ?

sprintertrueno86 · 11-15-2013, 12:13 AM

Looks nothing like the concept. Not even close. It's not even that ugly...just bland and generic looking, especially from the sides. All I see is a red current Gen Civic Si with a Subaru front and rear.

I think it looks good, especially the photo of that STI one in blue I saw floating on the internet.

Just get rid of the shark fin, and throw the STI wing on, and I really think it looks rugged and muscular.

I just think they need to rid of the fog lights, and make it a brake duct.

The only fog lights that seem to be nice are the ones that are HUGE like in the old WRX

Dame you Subaru, why can't you make the WRX sleek and beautiful like your completion such as the GTI, Evo, Civic Si... oh wait.. never mind...

So glad I bought my BRZ last year, and didnt hold out and wait for the WRX. Very disappointed. Think I'll keep my '03 WRX wagon that I've owned for 11 years.

Very disappointed the new WRX we've been waiting years for is just a tarted up Impreza (was promised it would no longer be based on the Impreza), and there's no wagon/hatch option. What the heck Subaru?

LivingLegend · 11-15-2013, 03:39 AM

I'd rock this if they make it!

Hoping the see a great engine. 0-100 km/h in 5.4 is bad. Needs to be under 4.8 sec. For 40K you can get a 306 PS M135i Hatch.

I think this looks great. I love the BL-gen Legacy headlights (although I'm biased as I have one). I never got on with the Alfa-grille version or the bulbous current-gen model. I'll wait until the STI and the 2015 Legacy are out before considering what to replace the BL with.

i don't like this new styling flavor brands are coming out with. i can't describe how it looks, but it has a more futuristic and more smooth look to me. a good example is the new mercedes lineup, i think the new styling of those look way too smooth and just...ugly
