It's looks out of place somehow, like dorky dad just took the family sedan out for a little smash around the dirt track to escape how old he feels.

I think its really lacking something, it looks too much like a liberty to me. Like its just too tame and old man friendly. Almost like a commodore.. As sad as it is to say that. But i think theyve done the same as in my opinion, as they did to the 08 model. When they released that it looked way too whimpy, to much like the impreza. But by 2010 they realised this and fixed it. Giving the wrx the same fierce look as the sti with the flared guards and such made all the difference. Maybe something like this will happen to this model? I can only hope because theres so much potential here, they just havent used it

I wonder how long we will have to wait for actual, real driving footage.

Lol at the video, all those % values of better suspension/brakes etc, that's just compared to 2013 WRX not the STIs that already have so much better brakes and suspension, the 2013 STI will make it piss...save ya money buy a second hand 2011-2013 STI.

I can so see those years retaining so much value now.

That car in that video looks so out of place, like sunday driver decided to go for a drive on dirt...any STI of any year would take that corner at 1.18s-1.22s better too (think Colin McRae style!!!).
Remember the 2011 STI is the fastest Subaru around the Nurburgring (with Tommi Makinen at the wheels) I have a feeling Subaru won't even attempt it with this one lol

I don't like that wrx, it just doesn't look good...I'm really hoping they do a better job with the 2015 STI

By that do you mean that we will realise its even more boring in real life than it is on tv?
