this is bit funny to me. WRX is iconic name. So people who bought 08 wrx will now have to refer to their car as 2.5 GT since subaru is now calling them as such.
I understand upping the power to stay competitive but this is straight up b**** slap to their royal fans who bought 08. Today your car is WRX, tomorrow it's 2.5 GT. LOL.
On top of that, it looks like no change in msrp.. those 08 owners must be happy.
Hate to say but that's bad product management. I dont care what anybody says, if you misled consumers and leave them feeling cold, that's not a good thing. I also read bigger turbo... this is looking more like an overhaul then just an update.
Subaru knew before they released this car that their performance wasnt on par with competitor. Now they are trying to cover their ass, i mean RalliArt is bitchslapping their car silly. Lost respect for this company. We'll see how the story develop
update:
subaru never intended 08 US wrx to be the successor of actual "WRX." In Japan, apparently WRX is not out yet, never did.. just S-GT which is similar to US WRX. So why did SOA call it WRX?...
