Besides, there's not much separating that Forester XT from an automatic-equipped WRX
Except probably a considerably higher insurance premium for the WRX.

This is a valid and important point. I bet part of the reason Subaru is moving the WRX to its own model as at the "request" of insurers. The Impreza having the whole Dr Jeckyll/Mr. WRX thing might have made it tough to determine rates for the model.

Not really. There is less difference between a WRX and standard Impreza than there is between the STi and standard WRX. The insurance price difference is rather large.

They've been on a roll for a while now, wow.
With 4EATs and no DI. Imagine when they update those.

What the flip?
Eyesight, Starlink.... ? Seriously, Subaru, focus on driver's cars, not cars that drive themselves! I wonder if we can trade that gimmicky junk in on diesel tech for North America?!
