it might as well not even be the same car, Bierman et al have explicitly said that they didn't make the fastest car possible, they wanted to make the most fun car possible I'd never consider a base Veloster but I'm very seriously considering Hyundai please save the hot hatch in North America

the outback is so loving huge now, it's like bigger than what the Forester used to be

yeah, based on the legacy chassis, so bigger than the impreza-based forester.

forester is Impreza based too? the cross trek xv is literally an impreza lifted like 3”

yeah, totally different body, but the underpinnings are shared. i think the forester gets a 2.5 liter though.

last i checked, subaru's entire lineup is all one base design, though i can't recall if it's a legacy that's narrowed/shortened for the imprezas or an impreza that's widened/lengthened for the legacy, then the cuvs are just those but lifted. even the brz/fr-s is based around the impreza platform

Subaru used to use two platforms, the outback/legacy and the rest of the cars on the other. Now going forward from the redesigned Impreza, all the vehicles will be one shared platform.

i actually keep wishing my Impreza was another inch or so off the ground during winter so maybe they’re onto something  also wish it had more than 152 hp but tbh it’d probably get me into trouble

BangersInMyKnickers posted:rode in a fusion hybrid the other day that was getting low 40s freeway which isn't Exceptional but still pretty good considering low 30s would be normal for a sedan that side today and like maybe mid to high 20s ten years ago that's the rental I had recently which would randomly yell that the head unit was out of RAM Despite it being from 2014 aka when lithium batteries were getting dirt-cheap, they still went with a nickel-metal battery which is heavy as gently caress and can't hold much energy. It had over a 120hp electric motor but they were clearly concerned about making it feel 'not like a hybrid' so the acceleration is mushy as poo poo.

50 hp max, three cylinders, and the visibility provided by pencil thin pillars is more than enough everyone is gonna get there eventually despite idiot cities just fattening roads so that they can gain an even slower max capacity
