Travis, Subaru is taking pre orders for the 2015 WRX and STI. They look nice.

The base model manual ( which I would prefer ) costs $27,000 and the base STI is at $32,000 but goes up to $38,000 with options. The WRX is only 38 HP behind the STI why they have not bumped up the STI HP is beyond me, its been the same since they imported the cars here to America. I couldnt find anything on the Limited.

I'd like to know how much the limited with cvt goes for. Love the red on the car in the brochure but who knows what it looks like in person.
They probably haven't bumped up the hp in the sti because they know people are going to do it on their own anyways. Plus it helps keep costs down a little.
Did you notice the decrease in displacement and the change to direct injection?

Why did he put a motor plate in there? Probably not thinking of a street car but mostly race.
Hope the cage is certified.

Thats quite the purpose built Stang. Whats the mileage on the engine? Not sure why Subaru moved back to the 2.0 for the WRX, t was a detuned 2.5 STI engine for awhile, detuned as in less boost and prob a few other things

I'm pretty sure the move to the 2 liter was for fuel economy. Some of the models already have it. The direct injection would also be a move to improve economy. There are more cars every year getting better economy and Subaru needs to keep up.

just for a laugh I stopped at the dealer today to look at the 2014 sticker. 30k. I think they listed 21mpg in the city. They average 5 mpg less than mine. Hope the changes they are making for 2015 give a nice bump to the fuel economy because they need it. Last week I averaged 30.6 mpg and that will increase with better weather on the way.
