mk6933 Posted February 1, 2013 Share Posted February 1, 2013 Yes, it will look like the 2013 Impreza, but with more aggressive styling and a huge spoiler. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subies4Life Posted February 1, 2013 Share Posted February 1, 2013 Yes, it will look like the 2013 Impreza, but with more aggressive styling and a huge spoiler. I hope to god you're wrong! i hope it looks more like the advanced tourer concept. They said it will take styling cues from that. Then again just look at that hideous XV Crosstrek,it's basically an Impreza with a different name. I doubt Subaru would do the next WRX like that. They will make it more unique. They said it will have its own design and the only thing it will share with the Impreza is a few nuts and bolts and platform thats it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrueWhiteBoy Posted February 1, 2013 Share Posted February 1, 2013 Short answer, no. If there was there would likely already be a post on it. Unfortunately we're stuck waiting for a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dmanaenk Posted February 2, 2013 Share Posted February 2, 2013 well shoot. i saw some spy photos on car and driver a while back and just thought i'd see if there was anything new... Nope. That was just drivetrain-testing mule. I think a new wrx is 1.5+ years away at least. 666 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subies4Life Posted February 2, 2013 Share Posted February 2, 2013 Nope. That was just drivetrain-testing mule. I think a new wrx is 1.5+ years away at least. Honestly i can't wait! I think they will make it amazing. The current car is outdated and the interior is crap. If i don't end up liking it ill buy a BRZ or a used 09 LGT/Spec.B. I think the new FA turbo has alot of potential i do wonder if they will make a turbo FB in the future? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aac0036 Posted February 2, 2013 Share Posted February 2, 2013 Yes, it will look like the 2013 Impreza, but with more aggressive styling and a huge spoiler. Next gen WRX/STi will not be sharing a platform with the current Impreza, so I've heard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Higuma Posted February 3, 2013 Share Posted February 3, 2013 No sign of a WRX here in Japan - - Dealer says "no news" but would like to see one soon... All the Mags which tend to be 6 months in front of such news are all devoid of any info... EVERYBODY is simply speculating and the JDM press seem to be getting a kick out of the fact that all the rumors seem to be coming from the "wishful thinkers" in the USDM media... They all kind of chuckle and smirk to think that the US would hear about it before them... Don't forget we still have a current model year 2013 WRX - STi here in Japan... Although it is still on the Impreza platform it is not called the "Impreza" WRX... http://www.subaru.jp/wrxsti/wrxsti/img/wrxsti-mainimage01.jpg http://www.subaru.jp/wrxsti/wrxsti/exterior/img/wrxsti-ext-section2-image1.jpg http://www.subaru.jp/wrxsti/wrxsti/exterior/img/wrxsti-ext-section3-image1.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alfred_Buchi Posted February 3, 2013 Share Posted February 3, 2013 Praying for 3 door option and interior somewhere in the league of a VW golf. If they can do this and have a direct injection turbo getting 30 mpg hwy I'll be first on the list at my local dealer to buy one. I don't even care about HP numbers I'm sure it will be at least as much as current gen so that will be plenty for a starting point for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aac0036 Posted February 3, 2013 Share Posted February 3, 2013 ^ Also hoping for a much improved interior, current one is trash IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alfred_Buchi Posted February 3, 2013 Share Posted February 3, 2013 I might agree if 75% of my driving wasn't below 50 mph. As it stands now I need a car that puts a smile on my face in all of its areas, not just when I am pretending race car. I actually dig my legacy limited interior. Not the best seats but if they put a more legacy esq interior in the new wrx with sportier seats I'd be down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aac0036 Posted February 3, 2013 Share Posted February 3, 2013 Exactly, the 4th gen Legacy's interior is great in terms of quality and design. 5th gen not so much IMO. I know Subaru will improve the WRX's interior because that's the one thing everyone's been complaining about in the press. "For $30k...." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dmanaenk Posted February 3, 2013 Share Posted February 3, 2013 ^I sat in '14 forester at the autoshow. Interior in that car is nothing to write home about. They might make interior better, but then they'll target higher price range, like they did with spec.b. 666 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
octain11 Posted February 4, 2013 Share Posted February 4, 2013 Yes, it will look like the 2013 Impreza, but with more aggressive styling and a huge spoiler. that is incorrect sir, the new model WRX/STi will have a different chassis from the Impreza, they will be two completely different models Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mass-hole Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 the current WRX is going to be an OLD platform by the time the new one comes out if we still have to wait another 1.5 yrs. whats that, 2015 models? 2015-2008 = old Thats not to say i dont like the current widebody wrx.

dmanaenk Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 WRX interior wasn't exactly modern in 2008 either. Right now it's downright appalling. 666 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
93rx7fd Posted February 11, 2013 Share Posted February 11, 2013 WRX interior wasn't exactly modern in 2008 either. Right now it's downright appalling. lol when you compare an 04 wrx to a 2011, i think its pretty great! when you compare a 2011 wrx(my buddy had one thats the most current ive sat in) to a current evo, evo takes the cake Isnt this why we have legacy's though? for the upgraded interior quality You cant complain too much about the interior at the price a wrx goes for, at the speed that it goes, and the lovely sound it makes, thats what i think I def agree the interior isnt all that great though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dtmenace Posted February 11, 2013 Share Posted February 11, 2013 looks to me like the '13 impreza: https://www.google.com/search?q=2014+subaru+wrx&hl=en&safe=off&client=safari&tbo=d&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ei=m2QYUaTJHKy30gHVioDwCQ&ved=0CAkQ_AUoAQ&biw=1024&bih=672 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The new WRX/STi will look completely different and have a completely different chassis than the Impreza as Subaru claims.......... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dmanaenk Posted February 11, 2013 Share Posted February 11, 2013 Still, I wouldn't mind that DIT engine in the current Impreza, or XV. Would make for a good-sized highway cruiser to take to some mild trails. 666 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
