All-New Subaru WRX, Levorg Expected in 2020; To Have Smaller Turbo Engines
Subaru is busying migrating its entire product line-up to its stiffer, safer, more capable Subaru Global Platform. Of course, enthusiasts are holding their breath as to when the WRX and WRX STI will be getting the same treatment. Well, it seems with have the answer now. But sadly, you’ll have to wait your breath a little bit longer: late 2020 is the earliest the world will see the next iteration of a go-fast Subaru.

Subaru's Saving the Manuals with the 2019 BRZ and 2019 WRX and We Drive Them Both
Name a performance car nowadays, and chances are, it’ll come with an automatic transmission. Whether it’s because carmakers will claim that a slush box will provide the same amount of performance minus the hassle of operating a third pedal, or increased market demand (bean counters will say: who buys manuals nowadays), this has become a fact of life—like how the sun rises in the east, sets in the west, and the new Supra’s basically a Z4 underneath. Thankfully, there’s still one brand that’s flying the Save the Manuals flag locally, and that brand is Subaru.

Review: 2018 Subaru WRX 2.0 CVT
In the realm of performance cars, the pecking order can change quite quickly—one moment, you’re top of the heap, and in the next, you’re bottom of the pile. Four years therefore is an eternity in this segment, one that the Subaru WRX finds itself precariously in. With a replacement due in about a year or two, it’s no longer the segment’s young gun, but rather, it’s now the elder statesman. Has Father Time been kind to the latest iteration of the World Rally eXperiment?

Subaru Just Made the WRX and WRX STI Harder to Distinguish
Your eyes aren’t deceiving you and this isn’t a typo: Subaru just launched the WRX STI Sport in Japan. Not be mistaken for the WRX STI, the WRX STI Sport sits as an in-between model of sorts sandwiched by the WRX (WRX S4 in Japan) and the WRX STI. This makes it the third “STI Sport” model after the Levorg and BRZ were given that special treatment.

Baby Driver Subaru WRX is Still Doing Donuts
One of the most recognizable stars in the movie Baby Driver has to be the red Subaru WRX. Driven by lead Ansel Elgort, the “Hawkeye” WRX is memorable for its almost-10-minute long opening chase sequence. After shooting wrapped, Elgort was so enamored with the WRX that he actually got himself one of the cars used in the film.

UPDATE 2: Full review of Subaru WRX STI Premium.
It’s not every day you get excited about a car even before it was officially launched. In my case, the anticipation for the all-new 2014 Subaru WRX and WRX STI was so high, I was literally begging on my knees to be one of the first to get my hands behind one. Motor Image Pilipinas, the exclusive distributor of Subaru in the Philippines, literally whetted my appetite to the point where I was salivating like a rabid dog thanks to all the carefully planned teasers including bringing over the WRX Concept to Manila. Everything turned full circle as they held the regional launch of the WRX and WRX STI in Manila—the first time the country played host to our 9 Asian neighbors for quite some time. (For the complete specs, click here).
