A proper GR hatch would be really tempting to me, even might consider trading in the BRZ for it (which I never thought I'd want to do).

I want to stay a single-car person, but I'm finding that my BRZ isn't very practical for taking my dog to places even though he's not very big. It's just too tight for him and not comfortable.

A hatch would be pretty great. Even a WRX hatch would be nice if it were easy to buy an older one without worrying it's been modded to hell and back with blown gaskets.

My first new car was an econobox, a brand new '85 GTI. The mark I was way cooler incidentally.
That format is for practicality while ticking off a few sports car "wants". The formula works extremely well for Subaru. From the WRX/STI line to anything with the letters XT added to the end. In fact if I trade my STI, it will be for an Outback XT.

Take an everyday car and give it balls. Then slap an acronym on the back. Voila!

yeah thats not really "confirmed"

Its teased and has been teased for awhile....(the toyota USA site specifically says there should be a GR hot hatch for our market, even if we dont get the GR Yaris)

Doesnt confirm nor deny anything.

Sometimes I really wonder if I should just make a car website/youtube vlog specifically that grabs old images off the internet and spins them into new, clickbait-y rumors.

Then make sure that you get them up on forums so you get piles of clicks that you would normally never attract!
I feel bad every time I open one of these rumor mill sites or videos and give them my .0000001 cents.

I feel like it'd be way too easy.

I posted the new WRX photos I saw on Twitter from someone in Japan and I've already seen them passed around by other people elsewhere. When I first saw them the tweets had barely any interactions lol.

As per the rules of youtube videos, remember to talk about everything EXCEPT that topic, which you save for the last minute of the 20min video.

I stopped watching LF back when Subaru/Toyota had that stupid teaser with different angles for the hood line and he said it wasn't the 86 announcement and that it was going to be some other model.

They need to fill time so they can insert more ads.
I believe 10 minutes was the magic number for a while
