New Subaru WRX

Had a test ride in the new Subaru WRX Turbo.
My l'il brother swears by Subaru, and has had good luck with them. Anyway, he is thinking of the new WRX so we go for a ride. That is a pretty quick car! It handles very nice as well...I'd like to run one around the track.

Yeah, they aren't exactly known for their sexy lines, eh? He drives in snow alot so I guess that AWD comes in handy.

Fun, and it has 4 doors. But it's sure hard to look like a grown up in one.

I doubt the EVO would come with the same version. Remember that the WRX has a STI model that didn't make it to North America. Emission regulations will most likely reduce the EVO to a model relative to the present WRX.

I agree. The JDM WRX has what... 282hp? (can't remember). WE get only 227hp (although that's a helluva lot better than the 165hp previous gen 2.5RS). I wouldn't be betting much on a 300hp Evo VII although it's nice to dream about!

Expect the current US WRX to increase in power every year for the next 2-3 years. 255HP will be here soon.
