2022 Subaru WRX Spy Shots via Car and Driver - Page 3 - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

My lease is up on the '18 STI sport in Jan and I'll probably buy it and see when the next model arrives.

From the camo pics it looks like the previous generation Honda Civic that everyone hated for being too boring.

No. Just no.

i like the octagon-ish shaped wheel arches. looks better overall, certainly more sleek than prev gen.

Stonehorsw · 02-25-2021, 10:31 PM

Car seems too long, will this be also heavier than the generation being replaced?

Subaru has a knack for making wicked looking concepts, and super watered down dull production versions of them.....

Theres something very bleh about this wrx...

All that front end room and they’re still going to use the little scoop intercooler aren’t they?

I`m not a wrx fan but if you get straight out of a twin into wrx you get WOWED.

Its very weird.
It looks almost identical to the viziv performance STI concept (or at least has all the bodylines of it) But it looks very off at the same time.
Maybe its cuz the stupidly long front overhang, and the fact the Viziv concept does not have a trunk and the production car does.....

It also looks just like a sedan version of the Levorg except they just chopped the rear wagon part off and turned it into a trunk.

I would think so with the low-mid range torque you get from the WRX.

A WRX is on my shortlist as a second car once I pay off the 86. That or a bronco. I don't NEED a bronco, but they're so damn cool.
Hoping these renders aren't accurate as I really don't like how bloated it looks.

Honestly it isn't on mine. For that much money you can get a Lincoln MkX. Fully loaded ones are amazing and can be had for mid twenties with not that many miles. My parents own one and it is everything a Subaru isn't, with all wheel drive and a twin turbo engine.

The entire car looks like it gained 2-3 inches of fat vertically. Who knew the style of the AMC Eagles would come back into popularity?
