Brand new Subaru WRX is going to be More Street Targeted

Subaru WRX has always sacrificed a part of on-road performance to maintain its off-road capability. Nevertheless, that will be changed for the upcoming vehicle.

Subaru of America PR chief Dominick Infante, in an interview with Carbase at New York auto show, announced that the WRX concept car unveiled in Manhattan previews a new WRX that will be much more street-targeted.

Discussing that the WRX has always been marvelous on-road car, it got even better when taken off road. Consequently it lacked the active feel of competition.

Dominick Infante also revealed some other details about the new WRX, destroying the rumors about the car based completely new platform. WRX model and Impreza sedan will share the same basic underpinnings, while Subaru is trying to separate these two cars.

In the end, Infante ruined all hopes about the carbon roof viewed previously on the WRX vehicle. At first confirming that it would make an appearance on the new WRX, he stopped to check our reaction before laughing. Subaru will rather go on cutting weight through the use of high-strength steel.
