racerx78 Posted January 9, 2014 Report Share Posted January 9, 2014 I'm still waiting to see if it's the same EJ, a modified version, or the FA. The exterior doesn't excite me bit some angles look nice. The interior looks good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigOxley Posted January 9, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 9, 2014 i have a bad feeling it's going to be the EJ. they might bump up the power a little bit, but i really don't think it'll have DI and, yes, it's a very homely looking girl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oh8sti Posted January 9, 2014 Report Share Posted January 9, 2014 I really like my 2013, but honestly for the price they aren't all that great anymore. They are priced into the low 40's with Nav, but only dishes out a measly 305hp. In my opinion it need a full interior change WITH recaro seats as an option. It's complete bullshit why we don't have them in the US. Get a performance steering wheel too. Make it feel like a fucking sports car, not a souped up Camry. I need to see a significant bump in HP and for the car to come from the factory with a tune that doesn't completely suck ass. I'm honestly embarrassed for them the factory tune is so bad on these cars. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm honestly embarrassed for them the factory tune is so bad on these cars. I agree with all of this. I'm thinking a '15 mustang with the turbo 4 would be a better purchase from everything I've seen on both. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PsychoticGaming Posted January 9, 2014 Report Share Posted January 9, 2014 Looks like an Evo mated with a Focus. I agree, a Camaro or Mustang would be a better performance buy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tripleskate Posted January 9, 2014 Report Share Posted January 9, 2014 Waiting to hear about suspension design, weight, engine, and general performance before I make a judgement call. Thus far, it's just another "meh" Subaru design. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oh8sti Posted January 9, 2014 Report Share Posted January 9, 2014 I'd love to see 400hp(it'll never happen I know). They need that to compete with the other cars in its "class". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BIGGU Posted January 9, 2014 Report Share Posted January 9, 2014 I like the front but the rear leaves alot to be desired. Needs more low though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geeesammy Posted January 9, 2014 Report Share Posted January 9, 2014 So they put an evo body on an STi drivetrain. Much amaze. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IMO, their "class" is the EVO, STI, and the soon to be a regular yearly model, Golf R. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RC K9 Posted January 9, 2014 Report Share Posted January 9, 2014 I have to agree with Jones on this one. That being said, I don't like the evo x body style either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vulcan900 Posted January 9, 2014 Report Share Posted January 9, 2014 I was really disappointed with what Subaru ended up with compared to what the concept looked like. Here is the concept http://www.autoblog.com/photos/subaru-wrx-concept-new-york-2013/ Here is what we got http://www.autoblog.com/photos/2015-subaru-wrx-la-2013/ The STI isn't much better. The wing did little to make it look more aggressive. And for 40K 305 HP isnt enough. At 32k my Camaro makes 426.... (but is still heavy as a tank and slow ) Had the final product come even close to the concept I would be inline to buy one right now.

airwg2189 Posted January 9, 2014 Report Share Posted January 9, 2014 Well, the car certainly looks better with the wing, but unless they make some massive upgrades all around, this is an awful buy for the money. Give me a white '15 WRX with the Harmon Kardon sound system and one of those wings any day though... inb4ricer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TTQ B4U Posted January 9, 2014 Report Share Posted January 9, 2014 Don't like it but these pics look slightly better than the regular WRX pics I've seen before. However, you noted these aren't final. Overall, the nose is okay, the rest of it looks to much like a civic/corolla, including the interior. Hell, the interior IMO is what needs updated the most. I dunno, I'm a cheap bastard or mainly just frustrated that cars are so expensive for what they offer. The days of $30 averages and $40k for anything fun are upon us and to me that's stupid. My priorities are different I guess. That or I'm old and cheap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aaron Posted January 9, 2014 Report Share Posted January 9, 2014 At 32k my Camaro makes 426.... (but is still heavy as a tank and slow ) To be fair, a 1ss is now 34,xxx. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diamonds Posted January 9, 2014 Report Share Posted January 9, 2014 I like the front but the rear leaves alot to be desired. Needs more low though. This, their new rear end (of the past few years) is very Hyundai-ish..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
