2015 Subaru WRX STI leaked!

On the good years you could get a hatch instead of a wing.

The hatches had little baby wings, doe.

Would be pretty sad if they kept the 2.5 EJ, and left it manual only. They need to switch to the FA for the STi as well, unless they do something stupid and re-introduce a revised engine at a mid refresh or something.

For all those complaining about the wing... It's pretty much the same kind of wing/design they've used since 2004, rofl.

OMG RACEKAR HAZ WING!!! OOOOH NOOOOOO!!!

Yeah they didn't look ridiculous.

Such downforce. Much surface area for picnicking with friends at the track. Many diapers could be changed on it. WOW.

Yeah they didn't look ridiculous.

sure they did. the whole fucking car did, cmon man... :laugh:

It just looked like a regular hatch with a hood scoop, same as MS3.

I think it looks good.. If they fix the ringland issue n if the rear seats fold down, ill buy it..

Ringland issue is overblown and mostly either a very specific build date, or on modified cars.

Rear seats already fold down, doubt they would lose that for the new model.

Just go K04. You know you want to.

K04 won't cut it

Actually very highly documented on nasioc n iwsti forums.. From 2006-2013+ models.. Ringland % r about evenly decided across stock tune, pro tune, off shelf stage 1, 2.. Incidences increase more w/ higher boost applications.. No clear cut cure for it yet.. Even fully built engine r known to blow at 20-40k miles later.. Go read the forums before u get misinformed n misinform potential buyers from here.

What do u guys think pricing will be like? I'd like to see it in other colors. They should have kept the green accents from the concept, it would look sweet on black. I can't wait to see if there will be new performance specs and what they've updated but I'm fairly certain it will be like the last gen but with +5hp or some shit becausejapanmarketingmuchfasterwow

K04 won't cut it

nope.. plus i dont need my traction issues made even worse.

Well, I've seen anecdotal "evidence."

The attempts I've seen to actually compile data haven't impressed upon me that "omg if you buy a sti your ringlands will fail."

It's a "common" issue, that I don't think happens on nearly as many cars as we think becauseforumsexaggerateproblems. I have as much basis to make that claim as anyone has to say that it is an epidemic.

But, most likely, we shall agree to disagree. I'm not denying that ringland is/was an issue, just challenging the idea that it as big an issue as internet forums would have us believe.

I thought they were suppose to make progress, the generation before this is way more aggressive, looks like they regressed in styling. ?
