Can't make up your mind whether to go for the new 2015 Subaru WRX or step up to the 2015 Subaru WRX STI? If you're fond of the idea of having a turbocharged, high-performance (and of course all-wheel-drive) Subaru in your driveway, we're here to help decide which is best for your use. As we pointed out in our first drive of the 2015 Subaru WRX STI, the WRX itself is one heck of a tough opening act to follow—especially just in terms of performance value for the money, with its base price of $27,090, including destination. As for the STI, it starts about $8k higher than the WRX, but it...

2015 Subaru WRX Video Road Test
The new 2015 Subaru WRX--it's a fanboy's dream. It throws off hundreds of turbocharged horsepower, and serves up awesome grip with some of the best all-wheel-drive hardware on the planet. It also looks like an aftermarket tuner job--on purpose--and comes with a CVT. So, are the Internet trolls...

2015 Subaru WRX STI First Drive
Is the 2015 Subaru WRX STI worth the $8k premium over the WRX? And does it remain one of the most capable performance cars on the market, short of exotic-car compromises (and price tags)? Those questions seemed straightforward enough. But after spending most of a day with the new STI, first over...

2015 Subaru WRX, STI Models Priced: WRX Gets Big Value Boost
Subaru has at last put a price tag—well a series of price tags—on its redesigned 2015 Subaru WRX lineup. And at the same time, it's rolled out all the numbers for the 2015 Subaru WRX STI. With new features and much-improved performance, and prices bumped up negligibly if at all, the...

Subaru has just unveiled a redesigned Legacy sedan, which will hit showrooms this summer as a 2015 model. The car is being launched with two engine options, a 2.5-liter four-cylinder and 3.6-liter six-cylinder, both of which are carryover units from the outgoing model. They’ve been made lighter and refined for fuel economy gains, and now come mated to CVTs, but they don’t offer much in terms of excitement. According to Car and Driver, that won’t be the case for long as Subaru is planning some new engines for its latest Legacy and, presumably, the new Outback as well. MUST...

The 2015 Subaru WRX STI is the ultimate high-performance version of the latest WRX all-wheel-drive compact sedan. It boosts the power, refines the standard all-wheel-drive system, and adds new aerodynamic design features to distinguish it from the standard WRX. The STI is really Subaru's performance flagship, and the company is also offering a special version known as the STI Launch Edition, limited to production of 1,000 units. For 2015, the new STI is built on a stiffer chassis and hits the road with a new wide-body design and interior upgrades that include Alcantara upholstery. What Subaru...

Chief Engineer Describes Goals Of The 2015 Subaru WRX’s Development: Video
The 2015 Subaru WRX didn’t turn out to be the rocket we’d been hoping for ever since we laid eyes upon the stunning concept version that previewed the car. Its styling is still reminiscent of the Impreza on which it’s based and its performance, in terms of both speed and...

2015 Subaru WRX First Drive
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 car looks a lot like the regular Impreza with which it shares a platform. However, don’t be fooled by the mundane looks, as the latest WRX is every bit as capable, if not more so, than any of its predecessors. Gone is the previous turbocharged 2.5-liter engine, replaced instead by new...
