Last gen, they sold both.

In the Philippines, the strategy was that the hatch would be Automatic Only but the Sedan would be Manual only.

In any case, though, it's weird because globally, the hatch sold more than the sedan.

Hence, many are puzzled why they dropped the hatchback layout.

Anyways:

I remember the Evo 9 had a wagon version as well (in Japan, I mean)

Wagon is hot. SOA should seriously change their management. I heard Levorg is not coming because SOA refused the proposal from Subaru Japan. They want to sell more car than wagon.

Was at my dealer today. It sounds like June is when I will get my lightning red WRX Limited, but they weren't certain. They knocked off delivery and destination without me even asking. I thought that was pretty decent. Oddly enough, the salesman recommended that I sell my Legacy GT on my own, which I had intended to anyway. It's worth way more, given the following of Subaru boys who want something more mature for the DD or as a second car...guess I am taking the opposite route if I am getting the WRX.

@SLegacy99 so you actually ordered one or waiting for a red limited to hit the lot?

@fastdak25 congrats! Still a bit away but post pics as soon a you can! Are you replacing a current Subie or another car?

Sorry to hear that mate, the reason Red is being delayed because they need to produce WRB and SWP WRX/STI. Other colors should come a bit later though.

Ah sorry, I missed it. Awesome color. I was debating between White, WRB and DGM. Decided to get WRB.

I love white with Dark tint and some extra black accents. Used to have a white Speed3 and had the hood scoop, door handles, mirrors and spoiler wrapped in flat black. Black rims. Might do that again with this car, but leave the wing alone. Thinking about the roof too. Didn't do the roof on the Speed3 despite the shop's recommendation to complete the look.

Tremendous handling capabilities and stability allowing drivers to drive exactly as intended - the true spirit of the WRX.
See the all-new WRX and WRX STI out for shakedown on the racetrack and the curvy mountain roads. With powerful, turbocharged SUBARU BOXER® engines, Subaru Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive, and race-tuned handling, both are in their element in these environments. It's never been easier to conquer the corner, the sweeper, or the chicane in the best-handling, best-performing WRX and WRX STI ever.
We take out the brand new 2015 Subaru WRX to find out what it's made of. Does it live up to the hype? Find out as we compare it to older generations and how it performs out in the canyons.

I have bee Tailing these Beasts for a while. Lets not talk about the Power Output of the Power Train. Talk about the Performances.

0-60 in 4.6 seconds ? Sub 5.0 all the times when you Spirited Driving it

Body Roll is like non-Existed, it would ask you to keep pushing those corners

The Steering are like Snap* Snap*

The Engine just Growl

The Brake Bites Hard

You can Haul Kids

You can Haul Grocery

Confident during the winter

***Honestly*** I can not find one Car (Except Evo) on the market that does 0-60 under 5.0 seconds for around sub 40k.
