The PRODUCTION EvoX has been revealed but not released yet, it's a step forward from the concept X. This finalized version should arrive a few months from now. A little insight on why they switched to this radical design- They decided to switched to a hatchback design for the STI because, as you know, Subaru is heavily competitive in the WRC. After decades, Subaru and Mitsubishi are one of the only sedan competitors, as most have discovered that hatchback designs provide better performance on the rally courses; it's to do with weight distribution, handling, and the more ease a hatchback has getting sideways, and such, and this carries over to the rest of the Impreza/STI design. I still don't get they would take priority of a win in the WRC OVER their loyal customers and profit though. The profits of millions buying an STI would far outweigh the profit in winning the WRC championship. |

Its a shame because like you said a lot of people purchase a subaru because of word of mouth and because their customers who have old subies tend to buy new ones. However with this new design it sets the STi back, even though it'll be more competitive. I was really looking forward to the new 08's untill they came out with this thing. I was hoping for a new radical sleek race car design but this aint what I pictured. SIGH. |
