CO emissions isn’t Subaru’s problem as much as NO emissions. Until they can get the NO straightened out they are a no-show in Europe. I am surprised NO is not a problem in Japan. Maybe the tunning around NO in Japan is why our tunes are crap

levorg would be here by now if they really wanted to market it in the U.S. They already have a selection of hatches in the lineup. Impreza, Forester, Crosstrek, Outback(off road), etc....why would they bring another hatch? Is the entire lineup supposed to be hatch designs? LOL
Sport hatches in general are still a tiny part of the performance market..especially so in the U.S. High performance Sedans and Coupes are where the demand is. I could however see an electric levorg coming here in 2024-2025 assuming it hasnt gotten old in the tooth by then and dropped. The STI and WRX are Subaru's bread and butter high demand performance offerings. I think the trend will be that they continue evolving the sedan platform for these models well into the 2020's. |

So is derphawk still going on about a DCT mild hybrid in the next gen, or is he assuming we’ve all forgotten how he wouldn’t let up on that?

I don't see it getting a dct, a 6 or 7 speed auto is more viable. but subaru is trying hard to keep the STI going in the lineup, but most of subarus AWD lineup hurts the overall fuel efficiency of the brand as a whole. they are in a corner but we are able to sell cars like the wrx and brz here thanks to the plugin hybrid. the new solterra will allow us to sell the STI in the states. they don't want to stop being able to sell their sports cars and they are holding on to their manuals for as long as possible. at least they are trying

How about $40k for a CVT WRX hybrid that's maybe slightly faster and gets +2 MPG? No, not that either? Probably why we won't see anything.

It sounds like it may be coming soon. I may be interested in a Subaru again.

EJ25 era is over. It had a good run. Time to move on, make way for the FA24.

Ugly wheel cladding and big plastic butt aside, I find myself interested in what the FA24 STi will be like. A solid motor and old school visceral experience might be a winner in this age of numb digital everything. Last edited by mikedotd; 01-30-2022 at 01:31 AM. |

Man I really do miss the sound of this old EJ25. Not a model of efficiency but damn if that exhaust note is not immediately recognizable. I miss driving my hawk-eye STI. Car will always have a place in my heart.

Ha. We can dream, right? That being said I've been more and more curious about the reality of this awd GR Corolla on the horizon for the states running the GR Yaris drivetrain.. |
