Making the case again as usual. And no, I’ve never been labeled as passive aggressive. Direct? To the point? Yes

What the hell is this? There's no point in calling each other out because we're all always right. It's about perception and perspective. No one's yielding, so everyone argues. Admit this, and move on.
I'll admit something: The next WRX will be a sedan only. |

I'm with you - even though I want a WRX/STI wagon, we're only going to get sedans in the near future, after that it might be CUVs only if Subaru can't figure out emissions compliance with their AWD system, not to mention that is what sells.

I hope to be able to own both forever. From a RSX 5MT, three WRX 5MT and an STI 6MT, I will always prefer a manual transmission. |

The snide remarks, passive aggressive, trying to be the sleuth with your insults, we can just agree to disagree. I do not like you. I wouldn't sit down and have a drink with you if Jesus was pouring it. For the forum, for both of us, neither of us should be quoting either of us. It's just never going to work sweetie. You should just let it go. You aren't "right" any more than I am. It's opinion. Let people speak for themselves without your intervention. Everyone here is a grown up and can speak for themselves. They don't need you or anyone else barking for them. You cranked it up man. Got mad at someone's opinion and think you own the place and you felt the need to intervene. Nah. Just let it go. Quote:
That's why i said what I said. In my opinion, no EV will ever be a performance car. Mashing the pedal, regenerative braking. It's cool, do it every day, but it cannot and never will replace the engagement from gasoline, a powerful ICE, a 3rd pedal, and the total engagement it provides. I just drove a very fast DCT on Monday and it was as soulless to me as all the fast EV's I've driven. It was I guess a performance car technically but it was just not engaging at all. I'll say your car, is the or one of the best DD's ever made. I'll give it that. It's just a performance car is for performance driving. Twisties, canyons, mountains, track. I don't think we are there yet. New Tesla roadster, infrastructure close to the good roads, and the tracks, new functionality where you can fully recharge it between sessions or full charge in 15 minutes, maybe then. I think we have a bit to go yet. Quote:
Agreed. I do not care if someone doesn't like my opinions. Put me on ignore. Won't hurt my feelings in the slightest. Not all personalities will give, never will. I just tire of the hypocritical nature. He continually tries to do it too. Knows I have him on ignore, then does it anyway. Got some kind of agenda or past slight that can't let go. This is new WRX/STi thread, not a Tesla thread anyhow. Bring us something other than the sedanigans please! My $ is ready. |

That self importance again. The rest of the world doesn't measure the world by Pre. I don't care about you, but I do care about this forum and how some members contribute more poison than sustenance.

I think it’s safe to say we can all agree that derp hawk should probably post less.

He said one almost true thing recently. Let's give him a chance.

So we’re thinking the next gen WRX will come out some time late 2021? Getting the itch to sell my Legacy and get my first WRX but if it’s a little over a year away would probably make sense to wait

If rumors are true and STI isn't until late 2022, I'm definitely waiting and saving my money. |

People like pre just arent intellectually capable to understand, or just too egotistically stubborn(ignorant) to let themselves admit it. Ask him what weighs more; a pound of feathers, or a pound of bricks....it will take him a minute but he will light up with enthusiasm when he figures it out. Its the same scenario when he realizes the performance metrics of a fast good riding responsive electric car are the same as a fast good handeling responsive ICE car. I just dont think he can grasp the concept that one is simply a pound of feathers vs a pound of bricks analogy though. But good luck! The whole range thing is just a quirk of an electric car...totally worth the trade off, and at the end of the day..just be smarter than the car, and you wont run out of juice. ITs called thinking LOL..and even then the car TELLS you how far it can go before running out of battery LOL. Its kind of a no brainer...you dont drive 400 miles if the charge is only good for 350. Just like you dont try and drive 100 miles when you only have gas for 20. LOL. This goes back to kindergarten, dont try and force square blocks into a round hole LMAO..there are a few in this thread that will argue that though, and blame the manufacturer who made the blocks LMAO!!

late "calender year 2022" because of the pandemic supply chain demands and disruptions. The majority will be sold in 2023...so looking like its a 2023 model. 2 more years of the EJ STI are coming first. 2022 is going to be a weird year.

That date was set prior to the pandemic, if we're talking about the leaked timeline image.

It's like he's holding out hope his engine isn't going to be immediately unsupported and become obsolete. Clutching to the EJ with his last gasps. Sad.

Someone said x widget is a “performance” car so I mentioned “performance” driving. That consists of twisties, canyons, mountains, back roads, and the track. Fuel use is high, electricity use is high. Whatever “range” your “performance” car has, well anyone that has any experience doing “performance” driving will tell you that tank is going to go extremely quick, or range is going to be gone extremely fast. If “performance” driving is a driver stomping on the throttle on an on ramp, passing someone on the highway, we’ll just have to disagree on what performance driving is. Automotive journalism today is a bunch of hacks. Comparison tests done in the dry only. Some track, some lap time. None of it is reality. If it was they’d test said vehicles in all 4 seasons, with appropriate tires and do various driving, canyons, mountains, twisties, in addition to the track. When they do track stuff, especially as it pertains to EV”s, they rarely or don’t list the amount of time they had to charge said vehicle. How little track time they actually got because it is electric. They don’t do it, and show the problems with it in that scenario because it means the mfr may not give them future press vehicles. So they just report the lap time. It’s never even keel, always an agenda, with a root in marketing, and $$$$. I’ve seen one single you-boober talk about this, before his canyon drive of a Tesla or Taycan, forget which it was. And a single canyon run and it’s done. You have to head back home, or stop your entire day and go find a 40 amp or above charger and charge for an hour or many hours. So said performance car doesn’t last long and really doesn’t actually work for performance driving. My opinion, which is all I gave, is that’s not really a performance car. Then there is the weight. If someone makes a new ICE sports or performance car and it weighs 4000 pounds, the forum members, the enthusiasts would bag it. EV, gets a pass. yeah yeah batteries are low in the chassis. It’s still 4000 pounds, sorry, 4100 pounds. And here we are, you whining like a child, throwing out insults while you claim someone else is insulting. The adults were have a discussion prior to you coming in here and whining, and whining some more. Give it a rest. We shouldn’t have to walk on egg shells. We should be able to speak freely, think out loud, and not suffer repercussions. Let discussion happen. If you can’t handle it then start putting people on ignore or just don’t read it. But quit crying. We don’t need male Karens in the world. |

I remember people like Jon n CT that were 90% less obnoxiously nasty to people than Pre and actually contributed substantial content to news and rumors. If people like that didn't make it, I don't know how we got here.

Now, I am very excited for the next WRX/STI. Plan is to have it and the MY in the garage...unless the Evoltis (or whatever) is really compelling. |
