What a disappointment... I mean: WHAT A DISAPPOINTMENT!... I was waiting so much for the new WRX, expecting it to be revolutionary, based on the 2012 concept.. but finally as a result we've got an identical 2009 WRX with slight improvement...
When the awesome conceptual version was shown, I was hoping for the same aggressive muscle rally-fighter in a production form... But what I can see is just a Corolla with a hood scoop... So bland, so regular, no slightest hint (except the scoop) on the sport or rally orientation of the car! Wheels are so small, if I didn't know, I'd tell that's the basic Impreza... Absolutely unimpressive design compared to the concept and competitors!
And moreover! No power bump? Absolutely identical output with the predecessor? That's pathetic... Hopefully, at least 20 Nm more and improved transmission. That lets the WRX accelerate to 100 kph in 0.1 sec faster than the previous one... What an evolution...wow...
Hopefully, the Impreza name is dropped at last.
I really was expecting the new WRX to look alike with the concept, and being a proper performance tool outputting 300+ PS and 400+ Nm with the overall diet. Then the WRX would be cool.
I just hope the upcoming WRX STI not to be so much "evolutionary"!
