While the engine sound likely isn't the final product, it notably sounds like a 2.0l boxer with equal length headers. This could mean that they've finally dumped the ULHs. This means no "burble," but better performance and better reliability.

This is great.

my main gripe with the wrx has always been the econo-box shape. These pics look amazing. If they actually make this I may very well trade the Z for one

At first, from the pictures, I didn't like how high up the windowline is, but in the video the car looks much better. Glad subaru gave the WRX its own style this time.

I doubt it, unless Nissan really screws up the next gen Z.

apples and oranges.

2-door, 2-seat rwd, n/a 6cyl, low-slung coupe

4-door, 4-seat awd, turbo 4cyl, practical sedan/hatch

They are both fast and fun, but one's a more focused sports car while the other is an all around kinda car that can be driven in nearly any condition.

yeah, but oranges are better.



It's unlikely the new WRX will be a Z killer though, at least in the way most folks think about it. The current model is priced somewhere between $7k and $15k less than the Z, and while it generally comes close to the Z on tight courses (think autoX), it has nothing on the top end of the Z.

The STI is a better comparison to the Z, as they're priced more similarly, but even then built for a very different purpose. I'd say it's unlikely we see a "Z killer" from Subaru in the near future, unless it is because future Z's get toned down (which is a real possibility). Subaru is downsizing engines and building more towards fun than performance these days, and I expect that trend to continue.


Light, tossable, fun, and AWD is their formula. If they finally toss in good looks, well, who knows what will happen.

Plus a current WRX or STI will kill a Z...
