Have you seen the cars running in the WRC now, i thought they were initially talking about a return to it in their all new 2014 STI, but from the sounds of it now all they ever talk about is luxury cruiser to compete against the M & AMG cars. I'd buy a small, light, wide, AWD, turbo, WRC-like 3D true hatchback in a heartbeat, but not the sh*t circulating nowadays. I don't need room for hella people, grocery getting, drum sets, snow boarding/skiing, large pets, etc. Just give me a proper street rally machine that's raw & made for racing, not flossing. They lost their purpose with SUBARU TECHNICA INTERNATIONAL imho, has SRT or SVT or any other performance brand changed-hell no, those divisions exist for one reason only-racing/power/speed/aggressive looks, not ****ing luxury or for the masses. These vehicles are for the enthusiasts & fill a niche market, they need to quit trying to water them down with less race/sport & more bling-bling. Subaru will never be a luxo brand, plain & simple. Stick to what got you here cuz before all the performance/rally cars, Subaru wasn't jack sh*t, i used to laugh at all those oldass cars from them before. The 2014 STI better be hella good & to my liking or i might just have to jump into a BRZ/FR-S lol!

What is your source of information that says the next WRX/STI is going to try to compete with the M and AMG cars? The only reports that I've read thus far have stated 1.6L in terms of engine displacement. Not that I think they're necessarily going down the WRC road, but guess what size engine the current WRC are running? Homologated STIs are still running in a number of rally series around the world, just not in the WRC. I could go on and on about your asinine post, but I'll let the ridiculousness of your comments speak for themselves.

Regardless of which direction the model takes, odds are we can expect to see a turbocharged version of the new 2.0-liter dual-overhead cam boxer four-cylinder currently found in the Forester. Nick Senior, Subaru Australia Managing Director, has been quoted as saying the engine is compatible with forced inductions, countering earlier reports.
While Senior says he hopes the STI will continue to be a rally thoroughbred, his vote only counts for so much. Australia is the fourth-largest Subaru market behind the U.S., Japan and China.

Subaru is currently plotting the future of the next-generation WRX STI. Company delegates from various world markets are currently headed to Japan to decide whether the rally bruiser will continue to be a hardcore racer straight from the factory or if it will head in a new, somewhat posher direction. According to GoAuto.com (and previous reports), the new STI will be significantly different from the base Impreza and WRX, and that difference may translate into a more upscale performance model. Think something along the lines of a BMW M or a Mercedes-Benz AMG machine.

Posher=more $
I hope the WRX/STI stays the rally breed econo-boxes they've been. Hell, I wouldn't mind them going even smaller and back to the 2.0L. Part of the Suabru thing is that it's a fun car that we can afford early on and we get hooked on them.
