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 2015 WRX is looking like a stronger performance value than ever—and one that you could drive year-round, as opposed to a lot of other performance models.

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 ruined!!!!" Exclamation points theirs. Rise up, basement-dwelling sock romancers! And hold up, while you're at it. We're about to lay down the latest chapter of Who Moved My Cheese? The Lactose Intolerant Edition, and to correct some faulty impressions formed mostly out of thin air: That the WRX has been...

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 production version testing at Germany’s Nürburgring and we’re sad to say it still looks a lot like the Impreza. The styling of the car isn’t as dramatic as what we saw on the New York concept, although there are clear similarities between the two, particularly in regards to the...
