htan22 Posted March 15, 2005 Share Posted March 15, 2005 I am looking at buying a WRX Sport Wagon- should I start looking at 2005 models or should I wait for the 2006 models to come out later this year- does anyone have an inside scoop about any major changes for 06?

ballitch Posted March 15, 2005 Share Posted March 15, 2005 besides subarus version of variable valve timing, and MAYBE some sort of STI version of the legacy line, i would wait. VVT for subarus adds like 3 HP and 3-5 ft. lbs. of torque and better gas mileage, cool huh. thats just about the only things that ive heard about so far, only got like 3-4 months till we see anyway, might as well wait dude. ~Josh~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mattocs Posted March 15, 2005 Share Posted March 15, 2005 I'd wait for the 06's to come out, and get a good deal on an 05. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
applegump Posted March 15, 2005 Share Posted March 15, 2005 Subaru already have an STI Legacy in Europe with a 3.0 ltr H6, six speed manual tranny from the impreza STI and very sporty suspension but misserable fuel consumption. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now its basicly a de-tuned 2.5 like in the Forester 2.5 XT. And a minor front end makeover..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spanky_pete Posted March 16, 2005 Share Posted March 16, 2005 There's a rumor with supposed proof over at NASIOC that says the WRX line will get a slightly detuned version of the 2.5 turbo engine for 2006. Food for thought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kevinsUBARU Posted March 16, 2005 Share Posted March 16, 2005 It might be a tank but it's not what the masses want.....bigger is better, duh!
