(car engine roaring)
- [Narrator] Introducing the all new 2022 Subaru WRX.
(keyboard crashing)
(glass shattering)
(dolphin chirping)
- Oh, should I watch the comments while it's going?
(offscreen man speaking inaudibly)
- Don't? what if the comments are funny?
I'm already seeing the golf R's are boring.
"I hope it's not too fast. I might have to buy a BRZ again."
All right. You're right. Maybe the comments are bad.
(upbeat music)
"Get ready for soccer moms with an FA24.
Twin turbo flat 6 confirmed
in the new STI 600 wheel horsepower factory."
There's no way they're just going to double it.
Oh, oh, oh!
That's a rally car.
That's Pastrana's new car and it's sick.
Alright, I'm convinced, it's not even gonna show me
(chuckles)
I'm hyped, I'm hyped.
(hip-hop beat)
Alright, well that was pretty neat.
271 horsepower is not quite what I was hoping for.
A lot of the rumors were saying
it was gonna be closer to 300 with that FA24.
I was gonna be like dang, be like, STI horse power? WRX?
What's the STI gonna be?
And to get that 271, I'm honestly a little disappointed.
But you get that new transmission,
it might be a little bit quicker.
I'm assuming it's going to be a little bit heavier.
It looks a little bigger,
but it does look, in my opinion, a lot better.
It looks a lot more rugged and off road,
like an Audi All Roader, the Volvo XC stuff
with the black clouding.
(car engine roaring)
(hip-hop beat)
The wide body of it looked really, really aggressive too,
which is something I was really excited about.
And like, when they did that in 2011,
when they brought the wide body to the WRX,
it kind of looks like that again.
It's so much bigger.
It's just sick.
I think it looks more aggressive in the front
and it's got that huge grill.
The honeycomb looks really nice, big open holes,
which is bad for getting bugs and debris into your radiator
and stuff, but it looks really cool.
The hood scoop is super wide. It's angular and aggressive.
I like that because I'm,
well I'm a Mustang nerd, so I like scoops.
And these are functional, I assume,
since they always have been, So that's decent.
The bumper's the aggressive.
It's kind of like a, like a ZR1 with the sides
and the thing in the middle
and the thing for inner coolers and stuff.
The headlights look super, super good.
It's a sedan,
which I kind of liked the hatchbacks.
I wonder if they're going to do one.
I wonder if they might do that with the STI,
bring a hatchback; people have been begging for it.
They don't seem to like the sedan too much
After the WRX didn't blow my mind with the power,
I'm kind of feeling like the STI
is going to do the same thing.
We're only going to see a 10 horsepower bump
just because Subaru is doing Subaru stuff. I don't know.
I assume they're gonna give us something more
than the electronic dampers and the GP
and like better Recaro seats
and cooler stuff, and maybe a special,
super performance edition.
It might get some more horse power, but I'm kind of nervous
the STI might not live up to the hype
I was hoping they were going to give it unfortunately.
I wonder how much the GT is going to be.
That's pretty cool that you can get the Recaro's
and electronic damping stuff without
stepping all the way up to an STI.
If it was in the mid thirties, that would blow my mind.
I feel like it might be over 40. Subaru stuff. Yeah.
You really don't like it. Do you?
[Off Screen Man]- It's awful!
- Interesting. That's so weird.
[Off Screen Man]- It's (beep) plastic. Like, why?
- It's off roadie.
I don't know.
(laughing)
Under the hood, that's pretty standard, inner core on top.
You got these little vents on that
cladding on the front too.
I don't know what the functional purpose of that is,
but it looks aggressive.
So, I don't know.
I think, I think it looks pretty good.
The numbers for horsepower are there,
but they're not as high as I wanted them to be.
The interior looks a little bit better,
if they can price this thing right,
I think they'll have a lot of customers on their hand,
especially bringing in a lot of non-super
WRX people in with this.
(sighs)
I don't know how to explain it.
It does have more aggressive styling,
but I feel like it's more universal too,
with the cladding, for people looking to do kind of that
overlanding stuff and the outdoorsman thing.
But they're going to have to price it right.
If this thing's going to be expensive,
like a lot of the other new Subarus, I don't know.
And they kind of got me thinking the STI might be
also a let down, but what I think is not important.
What's important is what you guys think.
Let me know down in the comments below
what you guys think about the WRX.
Do you like the interior?
Do you like the new 2.4 liter?
And what do you think the new STI is going to be like?
So thank you guys so much
for sticking around and watching this.
My name's Sean,

We will see you on the next one.
Peace.
