caradvice.com.auLooks less aggressive to me. If I can have the new interior in my 2017 I'd be happy.

Why is it calling this new model the 2017? Wouldn't this be the 2018?

This might be the 2017 model in Japan but the 2018 model in the US

My thoughts exactly! This is gonna give my 2016 a run..but I'm stuck between getting an outback or sti

basically identical to the 2017? Don't see any radical changes in the chassis or the overall look?

No, actually. There's quite a lot different. While similarly styled this is a ground up redesign. This is their new global platform chassis that the 2017 impreza first utilized.

Hey so what are the benefits of that?

The global platform? Well kinda two fold. First what it is, it's basically a universally adaptable chassis. This "global platform" does come with some considerable engineering improvements according to Subaru. Safety, comfort, stability, and dynamic response should be improved. But these are the kinds aid things we should hope to see with a new model. The biggest thing about it is more the business side of things. This platform is going to be the basis for many/most of their vehicles. Having the forester, Impreza, legacy, and outback all on the same platform will streamline production considerably. Lower manufacturing costs will should result in more quality or cheaper vehicles.

....but it still won't get us a wrx hatchback

As expected, it appears to be based on the redesigned 2017 Impreza.
