Worst front overhang ever...
Subaru no longer makes sense and I'm wondering how they even still exist.

They're a Japanese and North American brand now, I don't think they're relevant anywhere else, besides, perhaps Australia.

Yes they still have some following in the US but that's due to the majority of american customers being extremely brand loyal and averse to change in general.

An early generation WRX is in my dream garage. They won't make cars like this ever again!From this…
… to what we see here.
The exterior styling looks a bit too safe, I wish Subaru would take the looks from their concept cars and bring them to the production models. Dropping the saloon is a big gamble as I remember the previous model saloon shape came back as the gen before that was only a hatchback and it was really poor in execution.
Interior is an improvement on previous models but from the video from Redline Reviews some observations from the review:
1) The interior seems low rent for this class with hard plastic on the top of front door, dash and center console has alot of black shiny piano plastic.
2) although it has a nice big 11.6inch vertical tough screen with wireless Apple Car Play and Android Auto, the graphics seem to be very old school and with very low quality reverse camera screen. There is no built in satnav so user has to use map from their phone app.
3) No digital instrument cluster. Personally this not a problem for me but in this day and age of tech advances and user versatility of a digital instrument clusters it may be left behind by rivals.
4) No leather seats and only cloth seats available. This is not a problem for me but if they don't offer leather then why not also offer a faux leather or alcantara trim also.
5) No manual gearshift. For the fun car it's supposed to be portraying then why not keep the manual gearshift?
6) Low powered engines. Subaru still using NA boxer engines and no turbos and only 182hp for a 2.5 NA engine. If Mazda can get 185hp from a 2.0 engine in the MX5, then surely Subaru can do better than this.
