Family feud? WRX, STI to split from Impreza
Tuesday, October 25, 2011
Subaru's WRX and STI models will no longer carry the Impreza name starting with the 2013 model year. After a complete redesign, both cars will use a separate platform, effectively breaking WRX and STI ties with the Impreza model.

Will Subaru separate the WRX from the Impreza?
Friday, July 15, 2011
We're not too sure on this one. Motor Trend reports that Subaru will take a whole different approach with the next generation of its WRX sports car. According to the US publication, a new WRX will not see the light of day before 2014 and will employ totally different components than the compact Impreza.

This past weekend, summer finally seemed to arrive in all its glory. Clear skies, bright sunshine, heat, and all that good stuff. Time to get out on the road, windows down, and enjoy the weather, right?

2009 Subaru Impreza WRX265 Review
Sunday, May 03, 2009
Like everything else, the auto industry has to adapt to the laws of the market. The new 2009 Subaru Impreza is a prime example of product normalization. Even the spiced-up WRX265 model looks like a run-of-the-mill family sedan. Therefore, the insanely sporty STI is now the lone rally-inspired car that targets Subaru's most hardcore fans. Executives wanted a more mainstream Impreza and that's what they got.

2009 Subaru Impreza WRX265 Review
Tuesday, January 20, 2009
Seems like mounting pressure from the expanding Mitsubishi Lancer lineup has managed to squeeze a tweaked-up WRX out of Subaru's Impreza range. Perhaps Mitsubishi intended their 237 horsepower Lancer Ralliart to cut the WRX's grass by offering more power and gadgets. Subaru's ensuing defense play maintains power dominance in the 'PlayStation' car market, and gives shoppers a new sub-STI model called the "WRX 265" to consider. It doesn't offer a twin-clutch gearbox or Super All Wheel Control, but it does have nearly 30 more horsepower to compensate.

2009 Subaru Impreza WRX265 First Impressions (video)
Friday, October 17, 2008
Not so long ago, Subaru was the only manufacturer to offer rally and performance enthusiasts across Canada a compact sedan that truly met their expectations. In recent years, however, the country has seemingly become a battlefield for a lot of companies.

2008 Subaru Impreza WRX 4-Door Review
Saturday, April 12, 2008
The redesigned 2008 Subaru Impreza WRX disappointed, if not shocked, some of the brand's hardcore fans. But the automaker had to see it coming. After all, the move to appeal to a wider audience was a risky one, as it could alienate a legion of buyers and admirers who literally grew up idolizing this model, which was launched about 15 years ago.

2008 Subaru Impreza WRX 4-door Road Test
Monday, February 11, 2008
To tell you the truth, I'm somewhat biased toward the Impreza WRX. I love its ideal dose of power, solid handling and comfortable ride. Plus, the fully redesigned WRX is decidedly stylish with its new dress. For 2008, engineers aimed to make this sporty Subaru more mainstream civilized. Obviously, a few compromises had to be made...

2006 Subaru Impreza WRX Road Test
Wednesday, November 22, 2006
Subaru's WRX doesn't really leave a whole lot to guesswork for its fans or potential customers. The look is a not-so-subtle collection of reminders that this machine has been built with the help of years of racing and engineering advancements. It's shape directly communicates effortless control on any road.

2006 Subaru Impreza WRX Sedan
Wednesday, April 19, 2006
Four years and three nose jobs later--when will it end? Who knows? The last restyling was rationalized for better aerodynamics on the Subaru WRC rally car. Now Subaru claims this latest look is to coordinate the 2006 WRX, and the Impreza that it's based on, with the new Subie design language introduced with the Tribeca crossover.

2006 Subaru Impreza WRX (Video Clip)
Thursday, January 05, 2006
WRX. Three little letters that mean a whole bunch to a few and absolutely nothing to many. What is a WRX? It is only the near ultimate version of Subaru's entry-level Impreza. Think of the car as the 'go anywhere, do anything' Japanese version of the muscle car. Basically, the WRX is a simple Impreza sedan or wagon that receives a multitude of upgrades including more power, bigger brakes and body add-ons. Imagine the Impreza as the 2006 version of the 60's Pontiac Tempest LeMans GTO.

2004 Subaru Impreza WRX Sedan Road Test
Tuesday, July 15, 2003
If anything has inspired me to become a rally driver, it's the new 2004 Subaru Impreza WRX. I watch rally races when time permits and am always awestruck at the skill and precision involved in driving such powerful machines. It's magical really. I wish I had such talent so that I could drive the WRX the way it should be driven.

2002 Subaru WRX Road Test
Tuesday, July 16, 2002
Speechless.. not a great state for a writer. But nevertheless, Subaru's Impreza WRX has left me groping deep within my bag of superlatives to no avail. Yes, it's that good. Roller coaster handling, Velcro-inspired all-wheel traction, slingshot acceleration and dead-end defying braking - like I said, no matter how creative I try to get, words won't do it justice.

2002 SUBARU IMPREZA WRX
Friday, June 08, 2001
If you remember well, we have talked about the 2002 Subaru Impreza quite a few times on this site including the presentation of the WRX and the unveiling of the rest of the Impreza line-up at the most recent Chicago auto show. But I have waited for spring to really try out the powerful WRX version. In fact, it is not one but two WRX's that I have driven in the past few weeks.

Gone is the dash-mounted flower vase in the latest version of Volkswagen's Bug. Gone too is much of its cutesiness, replaced by a notable degree of sportiness intended to broaden the Beetle's target market by attracting male attention.
