1. The WRX wagon is the car people on these sites say they want, then never buy

I don’t know what to tell you, man. Maybe yours came from a different factory than mine. A magic one.

How? Unless the timing all screwed up, there should be no rumble with ELH. Now, they still have a nice low exhaust note, but that’s not the “Subaru rumble” we’re talking about. SCIENCE!

For instance: The Subaru Crosstrek would sell just as much at the ride height below in a “sport trim” than when jacked up IMO. 

The concept was dead sexy, but on the bright side, I do like being able to see out the windows, so the production version’s my preference.

To clarify, only the “normal” WRXs moved to the FA with equal length headers. The current generation STIs still use the old 2.5L EJ, which has unequal length headers.

I wouldn’t leave because they took out the boxer. But I would leave if they put in an electric drivetrain that substantially increased the price. Right now, the WRX is a phenomenal value for the performance it offers. You can get faster cars, but will pay significantly more for them.

As long as they can keep that…

This article has all the problems of every WRX-related article written in the last six months.

1. Quit pretending there will ever be a production car that even vaguely resembles these concepts. The new generation of Imprezas and Crosstreks are nearly indistinguishable from their predecessors.

2. Quit pretending that a…

And to be clear, even when stock, the FA still has a nice, deep note at idle. It’s just smoother and less... rumbly.

At least you have a birthday.

That’s all well and good, but when will somebody make a Youtube video that explains the difference between horsepower and torque?

Yes, there are some kinks to work out, but they’re obviously pretty close.

...are delicious. Although, I prefer wraps. (No crusts to cut off.)

The older I get, the more I try and subscribe to the “you do you” ethos when it comes to taste in cars. Stance? Sure, bud.

Or...

Wrong. Just, start to finish wrong. Legal analysis should start with the law. In this case, that means Kansas state law.

If you’re going to Google homicide laws, at least Google the correct ones. The specifics will vary between jurisdictions, and the only one that’s relevant here is Kansas.

It’s weird that you’re so excited about Johnson’s willingness to break with convention, then cited the the one scene that most directly undercuts that premise.
