all good. I'm gonna go see if any of the nasioc chitown guys posted pics, cos there were of course a bunch of Polish dudes checking it out and taking photos, lol.
hmmm.. here is the exact car we saw, but pics here from the LA show:

The rear of the wrx reminds of the e90 3 series, pretty sick! The front looks hideous. No headroom whatsoever, phuking terrible! I guess the seats don't go down as much, so you get that high angle view. The 2014 hatch is a freaking beauty compared to the new wrx, especially from the front. You also get tons more head room.
2015 WRX sedan
Front/Rear
HEADROOM 39.8/37.1 in
LEGROOM 43.3/35.4 in
SHOULDER ROOM 55.6/54.2 in
2014 WRX hatch
HEADROOM 39.3 in. / 37.5 in.
LEGROOM 43.5 in. / 33.5 in.
SHOULDER 54.8 in. / 53.2 in.
Only half an inch difference in the front.. everything else about the same :iono: definitely noticed the extra legroom in the rear, that's for sure. More shoulder room noted in the new one.
Good read for comparo vs the Focus ST:

Looks more like a corolla...
Headroom measurments are good to ballpark things when comparing them on paper, otherwise, they are useless. There was 2-3" difference between the two. Both w/out the sunroofs. You definitely sink in with the hatch, somewhat similar to GTI flexibility. The hatch roof line helps too i'm sure.
Yep, pretty much. Corolla on roids.
Finally got around to looking at this. Looks like a hell of a car. Beast. Probably a blast to drive. Front end is hideous and interior looks like Toyota circa 1998 with nicer pedals, but this car is still boss. I'd never buy one of these because I'm way too big of a post-yuppie A-hole but you can't really go wrong with this car.
huh? the 2015 WRX there had a sunroof, did they have another one without it?
The sinking in feeling could be due to the older seats and seating position.
Yes, Corolla. Old news, lol...
Post-yuppie? I'd see pre-, honestly :lol:
but yeah.. it's hideous.. it's what makes a Subaru, a Subaru.
