Why don't they offer the Subaru WRX STI Coupe with the highest end engine?
I was looking at getting a Subaru WRX STI, but I don't like the hatchback. The only way I can get the highest horsepower is with the hatch... Are they going to offer the highest end engine in the coupe any time soon? The hatch to me just looks like a sporty Ford Focus or Taurus station wagon. I don't have anything against hatches, I currently have a 2009 Volkswagen GTI. Thanks for the help!

- I assume you're talking about the 4-door sedan, - they don't even make impreza coupes anymore IIRC.
I have not heard of any plans to make a non-hatchback STI in the near future... your best bet is to pick up a nice used 2007. - or get a real impreza and find a GC8. ;)
- I asked the same question a while ago and was told that rally racers have all gone to hatchbacks. This is why Subaru went in that direction, but I have a feeling if you can wait a couple of years they will realize that Americans want the speed of the STi in a sedan. Subaru doesn't make coupes anymore too, just an fyi(of course that could change!).
- there is alternative that you could turn to. it would no longer be an sti. but subaru and toyota has joined together to make an amazing sports car. toyobaru haha. jk the model code name is going to be tf86. that's what toyota is going to make. i don't know what subaru's version is going to sound like but the body and the looks are pretty much the same. just the performance and whatnot are going to have a huge difference. this car is almost like a coupe 2-door sti. it's actually not bad at all. so it could be something for you to consider in the near future (3 years or so)
- mostly because subaru hates us. they ALWAYS do this.
for example
STi was avalible in europe in 1992, 12 years prior to the US release.
and then we didnt even get the prodrive ,PPP, P1, mcrae versions or ANY special editon STIs
in 1994 USA saw the last Turbocharged legacy for 11 years. meanwhile in europe they, not only had turbos, they had twin turbos. we didnt get a turbo legacy till 2005.
they also got the third generation legacys a year prior to us.
and there is no turbo 3.7L 430HP Legacy STi for the usa.. no thats a European thing.
and the diesel boxer? subaru released it in europe in 2008 but did we get one? no subaru says no and then changed there mind and said ok we'll let you have it.. in 2 more years.
dont get me wrong i LOVE subaru. but they drive me insane with this crap that they do.
I can handle the stis and the turbos but WHY CANT WE HAVE THE 53MPG DIESEL????????
damn you subaru! why do you hate us?!?! ARRRGGGGGG!!
