2022 Subaru WRX: so sad…
Last Updated:
I know it is futile to keep hoping for a really cool Subaru design these days. But somehow, I am still shocked when I see things like this. (And I will settle for “decent”.)
I know the WRX is a great driving car and has tons of hard-core followers. But why does it have to look like a little old man sedan? Over and over.
Look at this thing. Not even out yet and already looking old. This has to be from a company that has totally given up on design. Which is really sad.
Where is the pride of building something that looks good? And I repeat, this is not even put yet!
An outrage, that’s what it is…
They are a tiny company in relation to others. If they get it wrong they would be finished. They are afraid of getting it wrong.
They really should offer the Levorg here as a WRX Cross or Outback Sport or something. It makes zero sense that they have nothing between the under-powered Crosstrek and too-big (for me) Outback. I'd prefer it without all the body cladding but might buy one even with it if it had the turbo and a stick.
I really wish they brought back the 2 door models, correct it is sad.
Subaru is taking over for Honda in the conservative styling department. Back int he day Hondas andAcuras used to be very conservatively styled – even the sport models. That left plenty of room for owners to accessorize their cars and add style.
Horrible, but at least they didn't tease us with a sleek and modern looking concept like they did last generation. I have been done with Subaru for years now. They are relying on their reputation alone to sell cars these days, which is arguably respectable. Just think how many more cars/crossovers Subaru would sell if they had design engineers willing to make a stylish vehicle.

Disagree. One of the best parts about the WRX/STI is how beautifully anonymous it is. You just won’t see me coming…
Yes. True. That is because, who is driving this car, no one cares.
