I really enjoyed this video, and applaud Subaru for putting something like this together.

Thanks for the video. Now i think about it. There is no other car out there in Sedan form can communicate with you the way the WRX does....lets alone the STI or newer WRX.

Subaru is doing the right thing....just not the ej25 lol, but why do you care when you have an even much better feel ?

The EJ25 in the 2015 STI is a stop gap. It is just a matter of time until the car gets an FA series engine. I want to test the new handling of both WRX models myself, and my current WRX will be paid off in 2 years which might conincide with the release of an FA series engine in the new STI.

You could be right, but the STI doesn't depreciate much. So if I purchase one now in 15, and by 17 If I want to trade in, I don't think I would lose much money.

Probably Subaru is giving Feelers to the After market people, while researching themselves. I think we will see the After Market Flooding us with the 2015 WRX Tunes and Bigger Turbos set up development.

Until then when they swap to FA20 for the STI, everybody will just JUMP RIGHT into it, no more "Dont get the new car on the first year" kind of things

Call me Classic but the truth is "No Replacement for Displacement" Until then we will see Two Crowds of Fans. One still craving the 2.5 and other for 2.0
