der neue Subaru WRX 2014 ???

ich finde das konzept leider nicht so prickelnd das auto wirkt zwar sehr bullig aber leider auch massig, was bei den meisten neuen autos der fall ist.
aber wie alles im leben ist das geschmackssache

das auto wirkt zwar sehr bullig aber leider auch massig, was bei den meisten neuen autos der fall ist.

Bullig muss nicht gleich schwer sein (siehe zB Mazda 6 oder Subaru Forester. Sind beide für ihre Größe, im Vergleich zu anderen Herstellern, nicht schwer).

Und als Ganzes betrachtet gefällt er mir richtig gut und wirkt definitiv nicht langweilig.
Klar kann man ihn mit anderen Herstellern (obere Heckpartie vom Citroen C5 bzw 7er BMW, Heckschürze vom Nissan GTR, vordere Seitenlinie von Audi, Front von Jaguar bzw. vom 08er Legacy. Carbon Dach vom BMW M3...) vergleichen. Aber es ist auch nicht leicht heutzutage noch das Auto neu zu erfinden (außer vl. Morgan 3 Wheeler ).
Der WRX Concept hat Charakter und würde sich in der biederen Automasse gut machen. Ein Exot eben.

Ich befürchte nur, dass es eben ein Conceptcar bleibt, genau wie der Subaru P2 und der B11S...

der neue Chef von Subaru Amerika über den kommenden WRX

Zitat:

Next-gen Subaru WRX imminent following the reveal of a wild concept in New York 29 March 2013 By HAITHAM RAZAGUI in NEW YORK SUBARU’S long-awaited next-generation WRX performance flagship is just months away, with the production version expected to be revealed by the end of this year. And given the BRZ coupe took seven months to go from production debut to Australian launch, a similar time frame for the WRX points to an arrival in local showrooms around mid-2014. Speaking in New York, Subaru America president and COO Tom Doll said the production version was “close”, and conceded that a November motor show reveal was “possible”, hinting at a potential world premiere at LA motor show. It is also worth noting that the Tokyo motor show will take place at the same time as the North American event this November. The concept revealed in the Big Apple overnight is just a styling preview, in similar vein to the pumped-up BRZ STI concept from the 2011 motor show, which was tamed down by the time it was unveiled in production form at Tokyo a fortnight later. Like the BRZ show car, the WRX concept is obviously an extreme version of what will end up in showrooms. Strip away the carbon-fibre roof, 20-inch alloy wheels, massive racing brakes, aggressive rear diffuser, tiny door mirrors and air intake-like headlights and it is possible to get a measure of what the showroom STI model might look like. Tame down the chunky flared wheel arches – which at the front lead into huge air vents – and the base WRX starts to materialise. Whether the production model will retain the four-door concept’s swoopy coupe-like roof line remains to be seen. Apart from confirmation the new WRX will maintain the turbocharged, all-wheel-drive layout of its predecessors, no mechanical details have been announced and Subaru’s global deputy general manager for corporate communications Masashi Uemura declined to comment on technical details. However Mr Doll confirmed the new WRX will share the Impreza platform and be offered with a manual gearbox, while automatics will use a CVT with paddle-shifters. He also quashed rumours the new WRX would be a hybrid – although he said the electric motor sandwiched between the engine and transmission of the XV Hybrid also revealed at New York would provide a welcome torque boost. “It will have a manual transmission because a performance driver likes to be able to shift the car,” he said. “If you put a CVT in it you can have paddle-shifting.” Various rumours about drivetrains have circulated but it looks likely the WRX will use a higher output version of the direct-injection 2.0-litre turbo engine of the latest Forester XT. “In the future I think you can probably guess that with the 2.0-litres that are in the current Impreza, a 2.0-litre turbocharged engine is coming,” said Mr Doll. Although Subaru looks set to position the WRX more firmly as a standalone sportscar, further distancing it from the Impreza with which it has long been associated – the Impreza name was dropped from performance models in 2010 – Mr Doll revealed some panels would still be shared. We are trying to stip the WRX and STI brands off and away from the Impreza to try and get their own unique styling and their own unique driving attributes,” he said. “They share some (panels) but we are trying to create, as you can tell by this car here, its own style and its own definition as opposed to taking it from the Impreza model and saying it is just based off the Impreza.” He also confirmed the WRX would not be produced as a hatchback this time around as “performance cars are more defined in the sedan segment”. But due to the popularity of hot hatches in various markets around the world such as Europe and Australia, it is unclear if Mr Doll was talking in the context of his native North American market. “For the new generation we are moving away from the five-door style,” he said. “Because performance cars are more defined in the sedan segment. Mr Doll said the new WRX will deliver BRZ-like levels of handling and drivability but in a more powerful, all-wheel-drive package. “We learned with the BRZ that it is not just about 0-60 it is really about drivability, handling and fun and what the BRZ taught us, you are going to see a lot of those positive attributes built into the next generation of our production cars.” The WRX concept’s wheelbase is a significant 115mm longer than the Impreza at 2760mm while the 4520mm body length is 60mm shorter than the Impreza sedan, lending it short overhangs and a purposeful stance to go with its low (1390mm), wide (1890mm) and sleek shape. Subaru fans will be glad to see the iconic WRX bonnet scoop has been retained – unlike the latest turbo-petrol Forester XV – but it has become even more integrated with the bonnet than on the current model. The concept is painted in a new colour called WR Blue Pearl III that has a metal-flake look but provides a clear link to the classic WRX hue and Subaru’s rallying livery. Flourescent yellow highlights on the badge, fat quad tail-pipes and brake callipers give the concept some sparkle without resorting to the use of chrome.

Diese Bilder machen Hoffnung, dass das WRX-Konzept doch näher am zukünftigen WRX ist, als das unsere Subaru-Studien Erfahrungen annehmen mögen.
Subaru hat schon in der Vergangenheit Karosserien produziert, die man annähert in gleicher Forum bei anderen japischen Herstellern wiedergefunden hat. (Legacy MY95 bis MY00 e.g.)

Zitat:

“We learned with the BRZ that it is not just about 0-60 it is really about drivability, handling and fun and what the BRZ taught us, you are going to see a lot of those positive attributes built into the next generation of our production cars.”

Der Satz lässt mich für die Zukunft von Subaru hoffen, denn diese Einstellung scheint sich bei vielen "Volkssportwagenbauern" leider immer mehr Richtig erstem Teil zu verschieben.

Aber richtig, der BRZ / GT86 zeigt in vielen Tests, dass man mit 200PS Sauger PS nicht nicht zwingend gegen Turbos verliehren muss.

Wenn man den Diesel mit einer passenden PS-Leistung in die WRX-Karossen quetscht, kann ich es vielleicht sogar verkrauften, dass der Impreza ohne Diesel angeboten wird

Gruss

Es ist zu hoffen, das der kurze Überhang vorne so bleibt. Dann ist das Ding
auch nach dezenter Tieferlegung noch alltagstauglich. Da würde ich mir
einige Frontlippen sparen.

Ansonsten finde ich das Design sehr gut. Das könnte in ein paar Jahren
durchaus mein Rentnerfahrzeug werden.

eine offizielle Aussage von Subaru of America zum Concept-WRX

Zitat:

The Concept car has 4 messages: 1. There WILL be a new WRX 2. The design will be more fluid than the current model 3. The Sedan configuration of the concept is significant 4. The words "Low", "BRZ" and "Handling" are also significant. (not sure we ever said separate 'platform'. Believe that was magazine speculation)

Über dieses komische Gleb/Grün lässt sich streiten! aber insgesamt ist der neue Impreza nicht so schlecht geworden, wie ich zuerst befürchtet hatte

ganz nett

@Nils: Dir ist schon bewußt, dass das der BRZ ist und nichts mit dem WRX-Konzept zu tun hat

sry war noch früh am morgen

Also bis auf diese monströsen und nicht mehr im "Spiegeldreieck" sitzenden Außenspiegel und den nicht mehr vorhandenen kurzen Überhang vorn, schaut das neue WRX Gerät eigentlich ganz gut aus.

Den find ich "Leider Geil"
Das Gewicht wird wohl kaum mit einem Hatch vom 2008 vergleichbar sein...dennoch sehr schön

sieht aus wie n Ford von vorn :O MY11 war dann doch noch das angenehmste

Nicht zu früh freuen!

The next generation of Subaru's hero WRX performer is around the corner, with recent spy photos offering a revealing preview of what we can expect in 2014. Even through the test car's camouflage, it is clear that the new WRX will build on the look of the current Impreza, while taking styling cues from the January's WRX concept. We've tasked graphic artist Theophilus Chin with crafting a realistic rendering of how the new model might look, turning the concept and spy photos into a pair of production-friendly images.
