That’s a interesting take. Are we talking about price range too? Cars with AWD or just in general for the price range?I'm torn on it. I think many will switch to a Golf R, if only because they're more well known and very mod friendly.
I guess I was mentally framing it as daily drivable, AWD cars, ignoring price. Granted, a Golf R and an STI weren't too far off in price. I think they're 34k and 37k respectively, at base.That’s a interesting take. Are we talking about price range too? Cars with AWD or just in general for the price range?
Golf R starts at 43k US, 2 grand from that you’re getting into the Audi/luxury AWD territory.I guess I was mentally framing it as daily drivable, AWD cars, ignoring price. Granted, a Golf R and an STI weren't too far off in price. I think they're 34k and 37k respectively, at base.
Idk. All of us here are clearly excited for this car, but most of my car friends or people I just generally talk cars with have no idea it's coming. That'll likely change whenever the official reveal happens, but for now it's still kinda low profile, which is why I lean towards the Golf R or a heavily modified WRX as most people's solution to the lack of an STI. I would love to see aftermarket "STI-like" conversions too. Like how you can pay Roush to modify an F150 or a Mustang.
Nobody really shared anything but opinions lol. Subaru fans will be alright since there’s still the WRX.Yup. I’ve already checked and yes, it’s going to heavily increase demand for the GRC, which sucks, but I already have a deposit in like you so F it. Let them Boobaru cult mafk’s eat cake. I left Booby in 2012 for lack of engine development, lack of AWD development, etc. Looks like the one guy was right when he had inside intel stating Booby was having problems getting power out of the 2.4L DIT and they were talking about throwing the same old EJ into the new car. I’m laughing because Booby phoned it in. Well to quote William Brocious “Well bye”.
I can't imagine Subie fans jumping over to the Golf R, those 2 groups despise each other to no end.I'm torn on it. I think many will switch to a Golf R, if only because they're more well known and very mod friendly.
That is true, I see Subie guys talking bad about the GRC even. Lol.I can't imagine Subie fans jumping over to the Golf R, those 2 groups despise each other to no end.
They think they are in the position to bad mouth others when they themselves fanboy over a car manufacturer that is now known for making ugly and boring looking cars and not really putting much effort to improve their cars as a whole.That is true, I see Subie guys talking bad about the GRC even. Lol.
You know how it is. Worst thing to ever happen to Subaru in my opinion happened back in 2014 when Mitsubishi announced the EVO being discontinued. They were kinda coasting for awhile since.They think they are in the position to bad mouth others when they themselves fanboy over a car manufacturer that is now known for making ugly and boring looking cars and not really putting much effort to improve their cars as a whole.
Yeah, they were slacking off already and it only got even worse. Many of Nissan's, Mitsubishi's and Subaru's cars have become just reskins of reskins of outdated components, as a someone who likes Japanese cars it's a sad sight to see.You know how it is.

Nah. They won’t. You had a whole lot of buyers waiting for the new STi. We’re talking grown ass men who owned an ‘04 on up wanting to grab another and dip. The WRX is not a STil The STi has 3 diffs, the WRX has one. It’s not the same car by a country mile.Nobody really shared anything but opinions lol.

Those 3 have had some financial or production woes though so it makes sense.Yeah, they were slacking off already and it only got even worse.

I can see that. We’ll see, I think it’ll be funny watching them try and jump into a GRC like a STi, especially If the GRC is similar to the Yaris as far as production goes.Nah. They won’t.

Exactly, 100% agreeDoesn't change much IMO. Demand for the GRC was always going to outstrip supply as with the Civic Type R.
