Understandable....but now there are articles out there talking about the more aggressive body lines being incorporated on the body of the WRX. Typically Subaru runs by 5 year body cycles with model refreshes at the two and a half year mark. However because of the new redesigns of the Outback and Legacy Subaru has pushed up the refreshments of the WRX and the Forester.....mainly to outfit all the vehicles with new integrated infotainment systems. Subaru won't stop there because it wouldn't make financial sense to have 4 redesigns in a 5 year span. Right now you can't order a new WRX because Subaru is gearing up for a refresh.

I really do hope you're right man. Cause that Concept is beautiful. But the new Model WRX is going on what its 2nd year now? That's REALLY short life span for a body style. 

That being said they need to do something with their design. They have the best internal workings of a vehicle... and by far the best drive. But if I had to choose between the current WRX STI (it kills me there is no hatch) and this new Civic. Well see for yourself....

And I even like the color.

I agree about the hatchback.  A lot of people ask about that.  Personally I think it was a miscalculation that will be rectified.  Subaru buyers have a tendency to be naturally practical in terms of utility.  While the current WRX doesn't offer the 5 door it's still roomy and practical for a sedan....I wouldn't rule out a return to the hatchback in the future.  When?  I don't know.  

 

The current WRX has an awesome front end stance.....I wouldn't be surprised if we saw xenons, more aggressive rear body designs, and new infotainment systems with Eyesight in the near future.

My current Vehicle is a 2014 Forester XT with eyesight and the like. I test drove some many different vehicles before I finally bought it. And it was the best purchase I've made in a long time.

Best investment too. They're impossible to find used, especially what I covet...the premium XT.

Ive got a 2010 prem forester and 2015 Crosstrek for the wife.

That's what I got fully loaded, every bell and whistle. The white one.

 

To keep it Panther related, I got the towing package (mainly for the bike rack lol) but I have a Panthers Trailer Hitch cover. That was stolen while I was hiking here in California. I should have had a lock on it but I had it in both NC and Atlanta without anyone screwing with it. Should have known a Jackass 9er or Raider fan would. 

Anywho its reordered with a lock this time.

The premium doesn't have the leather...what you have is nicer. Turbo feels good in that car.

Go Panthers!

Switched over to a Benz GLK when I moved back to the east coast. Made sure to get the 20 inch rims on Pirellis. I needed the 4 Matic for brutal Maine winters.

  Funny story,  a friend works at Volvo dealership he says when they order the Pirellis they call them "squares" and when they order the Michelins they call them "rounds."

      2026 Charlotte Hornets

      By t96 · Posted

      I honestly can’t believe this team’s turnaround this season. It’s surreal. Figured healthy we’d be fringe playoffs and with another lottery pick could finally turn the corner, but we don’t even need that. This group is ready. We haven’t played remotely well the last 5 games and yet still blew out 5 bad teams by 16+ each game like it was casual practice. We had a few solid teams with Kemba and Big Al but this is easily our best group since the original Hornets moved to NO. Man, what a shift in culture this new ownership group and front office has brought. So damn happy to see it after years of suffering and consistently meaningless games in this stretch of previous seasons.   Only 2.5 games out of the 6 seed, although Miami, Atlanta and Orlando have been playing well too. Gonna be a fun final stretch, hopefully we can get a top 8 seed at the very least. Celtics tomorrow will be a good test. Would be huge to keep the road winning streak up against a very hot top team on the 2nd half of a back to back. We’ve played Boston pretty well the last few years with much of this same group despite sucking so I do feel pretty good about it. Kon is due for a huge game coming off a few cold shooting games (although despite the poor shooting he’s been contributing well with defense, assists and rebounds).

      Rams are willing to deal one of the 1st rounders for all-pro talent in secondary

      It amazes me how underrated Horn has become after he finally was able to stay on the field. Sure last year wasn’t perfect but he was still a huge reason for our rebound defensively and I’d say he’s easily a top 10 corner. You don’t want to see Mike Jackson as our top corner. Any player is available for the right price but I’d be extremely hesitant to move Horn even for a big haul from LA.
