What do you mean? At least the new WRX is still a sedan, still AWD, still has a boxer, and can still be bought as a manual.

Sure, it's making about the same horsepower as 20 years ago, and it got progressively heavier as Subaru needed to add more safety equipment to remain compliant, but it's nowhere near as bad as Ford and Mitsubishi taking legendary name plates and slapping them on crossover SUVs.

Exactly. 20 years of samey power in a porkier, blander, body. What's not to love? I just can't imagine a 22b would appreciate the glance into the future.

Just my snarky, subjective take.

Sure, but let's all agree it could be worse.

If it were added to this meme, it'd have a reaction somewhere between the Supra and the Eclipse. Something like "oh, okay".
