Subaru WRX News

The 2015 Subaru WRX may be the most perfect shelter ever ginned up for Internet trolls. We're already super-familiar with their super-tired take on the new turbo all-wheel-drive sedan. To paraphrase: "This car, which is not substantially changed in feel or intent, and which I do not own, is...

You saw the static photos of the 2015 Subaru WRX following its debut at the recent 2013 Los Angeles Auto Show; now watch it as it tears up a dirt track just like the original rally versions that once dominated WRC. The new WRX isn’t quite the standalone beast we were expecting. In fact, the...

A brand-new generation of the Subaru WRX has landed at the 2013 Los Angeles Auto Show this week, but sadly it shares little resemblance to the striking concept version unveiled earlier this year in New York. Despite Subaru’s promise to further differentiate its new 2015 WRX from the regular...

UPDATE: Below you'll find two images that purport to be leaked shots of the full car, from the front and rear. While they may just be creative renderings, they do adhere closely to the details of the one official teaser image. Judge for yourself. The 2015 Subaru WRX is coming, along with the...

A quick glimpse of an Impreza with a hood scoop reminds us that the Los Angeles Auto Show can't come soon enough.

Subaru gave us a preview of its next-generation WRX at the 2013 New York Auto Show, where it unveiled the striking WRX concept and enticed us with tales that the final car would no longer resemble the humble Impreza with which it will continue to share a platform. We’ve since spied the...

It looks like we’ll have to wait at least one more year for a new generation of the WRX as Subaru has confirmed that the current model will continue into the 2014 model year. The good news is that the car, plus its high-performance STI variant, still offer great value and plenty of bang for...

Subaru has revealed what’s likely to be the last version of its third-generation WRX before the arrival of the all-new, fourth-generation model later this year. The new special edition is the 2013 Subaru WRX STI tS Type RA and it has been developed exclusively for Subaru’s home market...

The current Subaru WRX STI is a beast: powerful, capable, but something less than pretty. Despite its ungainly looks, it has made fans out of us and out of a large chunk of the populace. But it's due for replacement soon. So we took the opportunity to spend the better part of a week with the car in...

A prototype for Subaru’s next-generation WRX is seen here undergoing high-speed testing at Germany’s Nürburgring circuit. The new car finally drops the Impreza name in order to signify its unique engineering and technology, but sadly the exterior resembles that of the latest...

Subaru has been telling us for a while that the next-generation WRX will not be just a hopped up Impreza, and it used the 2013 New York Auto Show to give us our first glimpse of this with the WRX Concept. While we've spied the next-generation Subaru WRX undergoing testing, the WRX Concept gives us...

The next-gen Subaru WRX will be leaving its past close twinning to the Impreza model in the dust for its next generation, but it will still share some of its underpinnings with the more pedestrian Subie. Best of all, while this WRX Concept isn't quite the real deal, it does reflect the core teem of...

We’ll warn you in advance that the 2013 Subaru WRX Concept displayed at this week’s New York Auto Show may or may not be what the final product looks like. Subaru is hedging its bets, saying only that the show-stopping concept represents its “new design language” for the...

Subaru has gone to some length to separate the WRX from its former pedestrian platform-mate, the Subaru Impreza. In 2012, Subaru dropped the Impreza name from the WRX and introduced an all-new Impreza; since then, only spy photos have hinted at what the next WRX would look like. Thanks to...

Last year’s Subaru WRX and WRX STI Special Editions have just been priced, with the most affordable model only costing $500 more than the price of the standard model on which it's based. Pricing on the 2013 Subaru WRX Special Edition will set you back just $28,795, which is only $500 more...

David Higgins is, if you're not familiar, the 2012 RallyAmerica National Champion driver (along with co-driver Craig Drew), and the lead wheelman in Subaru Rally Team USA's efforts. He's therefore, by definition and demonstration, one bad-ass driver. But in rally, it's not all about the driver (or...

There are all manner of rumors and conjecture surrounding the development of the next-generation WRX from Subaru, including claims the car will feature an electrically-powered turbocharger and borrow styling from 2011's Advanced Tourer Concept. Though most of these claims are simply speculation...

In the United States, Subaru’s ultimate all-wheel-drive hoon-mobile, the WRX STI, comes packing 305 horsepower and 290 pound-feet of torque. While that’s nothing to sneeze at, it’s nowhere near as impressive as it was just a few years back. These days, even a base V-6 Ford Mustang...

In July of 2011, Subaru Rally Team USA driver David Higgins took second place at the New England Forest Rally, which was good enough to propel the Manx driver to the top of the championship standings for the 2011 season. For 2012, history has repeated itself: Higgins and co-driver Craig Drew again...

Drive enough cars on enough racetracks and you become somewhat immune to speed-induced terror. Most of us here are completely comfortable hustling the latest models around circuits near and far, so it’s no longer a thrill to strap into the passenger seat and have a pro driver show us what a...
