They're almost as good as my BP4W engine is at the moment

I think it looks alright for a concept but no manual option, really?
It looks like it was designed by the work experience kid at Halfords, who nailed on every last fast car cliche he could think of. I know scoobs aren't meant to be subtle, but they aren't meant to be barry either. If you took off all the carbon, scoops and vents I'm not sure there would actually be anything left.
Which is always a shame. I hate it when you see an interesting looking concept car, but the final product looks like another generic VAG style bland mobile.
I think if they took off the stick on "bits" it would look much better with a cleaner look. I think the earlier concept looked better with the sharper angles on the panels.
No manual option is also a downer. That will hurt sales a lot.

there is a concept version without the Type R bits, it looks miles better, it looks better without the rear wing too........because by 2020 anything that resembles a classic WRX STI will look really outdated, the rear wing just needs to a be a two inch lip like the Camaro has.
there's a really wild BRZ concept car, have you seen it ?

yes that's the one, my guess is they'll produce this version.

I think that looks fantastic.
this one is way nicer. They should make one that looks like it

Now that looks like a Subaru. Add a wing and it's sorted.
The one before just looks like they've got honda to design it.

This next WRX STI is tricky for Subaru, they need to be careful of its image, because many are sick and tired of this ``rally car look``....... it needs Taming down but at the same time, a big increase in HP.
this above looks about right

deffo no wing at all, just increase the size of its boot lop
I do like the look of that concept more, wheel arches on the other one look hideously stupid.

These concepts are nice but Subaru need an engine that is powerful, comparatively economical and not at risk of getting locked out a market by not passing local emissions laws.

Surely that's what the turbo variant of the FA20 was designed to do
well they've got the 2.0 in the WRX, it only needs more of a tune and a wee bit of this and that and it'll be perfect ?????
this WRX STI is almost deffo the one they'll build or something very similar ( because it'll have a 2 year lead time so they're testing the water right now with this concept ) .. it looks great to me

FA20 seems like a decent engine. Sound like utter tripe though IMO - but I feel like that about most 4 cylinder cars...
