2017 Subaru WRX STI

The current WRX STI has been around for a long time and even though the chassis of the car has been revamped a few times, its EJ engine is the same as it was more than a decade ago so it offers its torque quite high up the rev range and it is not really the easiest to work on or even the most efficient out there.

Don't get your hopes up. We all know it will be the same 2.5l with some small internal tweaks.

How about a modern inline 4 or a pressurized V6 instead of the noisy, vibration-prone Super Beetle engine?

Well Porsche will be/is/has gone back to a similar "Super Beetle" engine.

Every car manufacturer has a gimmick, horizontally opposed engines and awd are Subaru's. If Subaru did anything else, it would simply be a Toyota with better build quality and reliability.
