Spy Shots Next-gen Subaru WRX STI spotted at the Nürburgring [UPDATE]

Subaru has been busy testing the next-generation 2015 WRX STI. Well, it may be the STI. The big wing out back lends some credence to that theory, but it could be that the basic WRX is getting new action in the back section. Time will tell.

In either case, spy photographers nabbed a few shots of the heavily camouflaged sedan running around the Nürburgring. Unfortunately, it looks as if Subaru has taken some of the sexy out of the WRX Concept we saw at the New York Auto Show, leaving this car looking more derivative of the current model than a revolution in design. The bold power bulge has disappeared from the vehicle's hood and the lower fascia looks far more demure than the the wild concept. Likewise, the muscular rear fenders have been toned down substantially.

The result is a car that looks more like a mildly warmed over version of the current model than a production version of the WRX Concept. Still, engineers and designers may have a long way to go before the finished product hits the market, so we'll reserve final judgement for now. After all, the early BRZ mules were nothing short of a travesty to look at, and we know how that turned out. Hope springs eternal.

front end has a lancer/tiburon look to it. and i dont car for the tall door. looks less sporty and makes the wheels look small too. everything else looks nice
love the duals

Subaru got away from that sweet looking STI in 2005. That car look like ford focus. If they are trying to kill there sale they are doing a great job of doing it.Thats my .02 cent

Yeah, tall doors screams Sedan, Duals are nice but damn have the Japanese resurrected the Combat Wing on this one !

I like it a little. Sadly the Subaru prices keep going up on the new cars and the overall car vs quality for the money is dropping. Not to mention they slowed importing them to increase demand and thereby solidify dealer pricing levels.

New STi bases at $38K, and while I like my car's interior (2008 WRX same as STi) it fits a $22K car, not a $40K car.
