I'm right there with you. I believe instead of putting money into my 8th I'm just going to save for the new wrx. There is a lot of people hating on it, but I personally love what they have done with it.

If Honda were to release a boosted Si that would definitely make for a tough decision between the wrx and the Si. I'm really liking the wrx redesign, I believe as soon as it hits show room floors I'm going to give it a test drive.

Still no.

If the Foo...well, you know. Just wear it.
Don't like the steering wheel and what happened to the WRX embroidered in the seat? Oh, and too much "chrome to make it look more high end."
If I went with the numbers, it should be better. I'd like to see the WRX anyway.

Numbers are not everything. For example the base Impreza numbers are better in the new gen yet the car is slower by the seat of the pants metric, possibly even by an objective testing. Given this is a WRX maybe it is a step up, we'll see when we test drive them. Conventional engines have a lot of room for improvement theoretically at least.

Needs a bigger front badge.More like a CLA, IMO.

At the beginning, other than the hood scoop, all I can think is the last gen Nissan Sentra. Its the side profile and those wheels.

Each time I see this 2015 WRX I'm like 'Glad I got the 4 door Si' just saying. I like the styling on the FB6 better. Also styling wise I'm sorry but the 2015 WRX can't even compare the 22B.

I just noticed that the current WRXs(/STi) are different in Japan. The Japanese ones have the 2.0L displacement and are better than the 2.5L that we have. The US spec WRXs (2.5L) have the single scroll turbochargers and the 2015 WRX (2.0L) will have a twin scroll turbine. They have been keeping the better engine from us. Lol. Now Americans are complaining that it is a downgrade switching the US STi's engine from 2.5L to 2.0L.

loss of displacement.... "there is no replacement for displacement".
Anything can be tuned and modified to produce high horsepower. It's easier, safer, and cheaper to start off with a bigger engine though. The 2.5 liter should make more power safely with less modifications.

Unlike the 2015 WRX that ditched the 2.5-liter turbocharged unit for a newer 2.0-liter force-fed boxer delivering 268hp (+3hp), the new STI continues with the larger displacement engine, which produces the same output and torque figures as before at 305 horsepower at 6,000 rpm and 290 lb.-ft. at 4,000 rpm.
A new feature for the STI is the Active Torque Vectoring system that is an enhancement of the Multi-Mode Vehicle Dynamics Control (VDC) stability and traction control system, and which can apply brake pressure to the inside front wheel to offer more neutral cornering.
Offered exclusively as a sedan (no hatchback this time folks), the STI comes with the Subaru Intelligent Drive (SI-DRIVE) powertrain management system that allows the driver to adapt the car’s driving characteristics by choosing from three selectable modes – “Intelligent,” “Sport” and “Sport Sharp” via a rotary dial on the center console. It does so by modifying the engine control module and by fine-tuning the electronic throttle control system.
Subaru also pointed out that STI's new platform offers a stiffer and more agile chassis.
