Default Concept WRX, IS-F Edition

I was joking on my old forum about the new concept WRX. I stated it needed a facelift before I would buy one

Certainly resembles the ISF. So, now toyo uses subby engines and subby the looks from toyo?

Nice!

No room! Plus I love that 2.5 liter turbo engine If an STi version is released I might have to sell the IS-F

This is starting to look like a good concept. I wouldn't mind a turbo 4 as a DD.

You know that they are most likely putting in a 2.0 not a 2.5. Its the FA motor found in the BRZ just turbocharged. They are doing it for fuel economy reasons. Also you should know that the concept model will not look anything like the production model its going to be a disappointment for many. Take the 2010 Legacy concept for instance all the hype and it quickly vanished once everyone saw the production model.

I can't imaging having a 5.0L V8 with 8 gears on that chasis. LOL

Nice. I actually miss my STi. I could see myself going back to Subaru if they upped the interior quality.

I wouldn't mind trading luxury for awd if it looks that good especially with the Is-F exhaust. Looking foward to seeing how the Sti model will turn out, and perform.
