When you think about the Subaru WRX, you probably think about performance and helluva product that can take a beating. Well, it turns out that Subaru has found there's a gap that required filling. That's why it's introducing an all-new WRX variant dubbed the WRX S4.

According to the company's brief press release it will embody the following four S':

1) Sports performance
2) Safety performance
3) Smart driving
4) Sophisticated feel

So, if I was going to hazard a guess as to what this will entail in a final product, I'd say a lot more of these $$$ and likely a more luxurious vehicle, overall.
