WraithAkaMrak Posted February 6, 2012 Share Posted February 6, 2012 Fact, rumor, speculation? Bit of all three? All-New Subaru WRX: What to Expect (Motor Trend, Feb. 6, 2012) From the article: Senior staffers laid out roadmap though 2015 for potential investors. New models: 2011: (completed) all-new Impreza2012: BRZ and Forester2013: Exiga minivan2014: all-new WRX and a brand new sport wagon2015: all-new Legacy New tech: Stage 1: (completed) DI 2.0L for BRZStage 2: DI turbo variant of 2.0L FA20Stage 3: High-powered H4 turbo for new WRX. Capacity not final. Source says they're leaning towards 1.6L turbo based on FA20, w/ lean-burn tech. Expected (rumored?) 3-door hatch and sedan for new WRX. Rumored electric feature on new turbo to improve efficiency, eliminate lag. Reaction - No mention of the (new) XV? I didn't think the new Forester was arriving this year. Unless they mean production starts this year, and we see it launch early next year.Is Exiga coming to U.S., or just a new version for Japan and Australia?I guess the "brand new sport wagon" is based on the Advanced Tourer concept.Has a 3-door WRX been in the rumor mill lately?

pt37 Posted February 6, 2012 Share Posted February 6, 2012 I would love a LGT wagon, but if we don't get that I would be okay with the new sport wagon if it is anything like the advanced tourer concept. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SubieDriver Posted February 7, 2012 Share Posted February 7, 2012 what ever happened to IWSS? Maybe it finally sunk in that he wasn't contributing anything new to the conversation, so he left. It was getting irritating hearing him say the same thing over and over and over again. Lately he's hanging out on NASIOC as SquareHips (HipToBeSquare).

FlexdXJ Posted February 7, 2012 Share Posted February 7, 2012 So is this electric turbo a not so fancy way of saying Variable geometry turbo? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gire Posted February 7, 2012 Share Posted February 7, 2012 the XV was test driven in the new Motor Trend. supposed to be out this FALL. I dig it. Cool like an Outback, but not nearly as gargantuan. And they mentioned something about the Euro-only turbo diesel option that would be much more fun than the puny little F20 (or whatever they call it...)they will put in the North American editions.

spec.B Dream Posted February 7, 2012 Share Posted February 7, 2012 So is this electric turbo a not so fancy way of saying Variable geometry turbo? Negative. This would split the turbine and compressor. The turbine would charge an electric generator that would be used to power an electric compressor. Pretty cool stuff. It would allow for more creative mounting options and could reduce/eliminate the need for the coolant/oil plumbing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tailgatewagon Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 1.6L? Really? not sure if serious... Well arnt the new wrc cars going to be 1.6 turbos? If so that in a 3 door could spell a return to wrc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stanjk3 Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 Well arnt the new wrc cars going to be 1.6 turbos? If so that in a 3 door could spell a return to wrc In 2011 they changed to cars based on the S2000 rules, but with 1.6L turbo engines. They were originally going to also use 2L NA engines in the WRC cars, but they changed their minds. AFAIK the engine in the street car doesn't have anything to do with what the race car has to use.

Tommyh Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 Just make me an Exiga GT specB and I'll be happy I would NOT want one of those tall, ugly, mis-proportioned, not-wagon, not-SUV, bastards in my driveway. I'll stick for lusting after the Legacy wagon and the Advanced Touring Concept (stripped of all the "concept-y" BS).

TurboSwaggin Posted February 9, 2012 Share Posted February 9, 2012 The XV is expected for a sept 1st dealeship delivery date...The new forester has been the most hush-hush. Most likely that will be an early 13 entry like when it came out early in 08 as an 09 model. The Wrx is definately gonna be more of a departure than the current linkage between base impreza and wrx. 3 door sti is because Subaru wants to be back in top in the WRC. The current 4 door sedan isn't keeping pace with the 3 door offerings from ford and citreon. Not mentioned in the forecast the next legacy will definately be offered with hybrid options and possibly diesel in forester/outback. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
