Pricing has not yet been announced for the '11 WRX, which hits dealerships this summer.

NEW YORK — Subaru of America is rolling out its 2011 Impreza WRX with a wide-body design similar to that on the flagship WRX STI. The automaker calls it a "wide and low" look; Executive Vice President Tom Doll says the change makes the WRX into "an even more compelling all-wheel-drive performance package." The new models will debut at the 2010 New York Auto Show, and arrive in dealerships this summer.

The 2011 Impreza WRX comes in four- and five-door versions, both with a turbocharged 2.5-liter boxer four-cylinder engine making 265 horsepower and 244 pound-feet of torque. The engine is mated to a five-speed manual transmission.

Subaru's Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive is used in the Continuous AWD version, with a viscous-coupling locking center differential. Stability and traction control are standard, along with the Incline Star Assist system for which Subaru is known on manual-transmission models.

The 2011 WRX's track is widened by 1.5 inches at the front and rear, and the cars get 1-inch-wider wheels and tires. The front fenders and rear quarter-panels are also wider. The four-door model is 6.5 inches longer than the five-door, Subaru says, and its trunk can hold three Tour-size golf bags.

Aesthetically, the 2011 WRX has a new grille with blacked-out base, lip spoiler and wider foglamp openings. The interior has carbon-black checkered upholstery with red accent stitching, a leather-wrapped steering wheel and aluminum alloy pedal covers and driver's footrest. A navigation system is optional.

Curb weight is up by 34 pounds on the 2011 WRX over the outgoing model.

Pricing was not announced for the 2011 models. The 2010 WRX models were priced starting at $24,995 for the four-door and $25,495 for the five-door model.

Inside Line says: You complained and Subaru listened. The new WRX sedan finally looks like a serious street-legal rally car instead of a warmed-over Toyota Corolla. — Laura Sky Brown, Correspondent

New Impreza Coming in 2011 - with lower cost and better MPG

Fuji Heavy Industries plans to roll out an all-new Impreza in 2011, which will consume 30% less fuel than the current Impreza. The development team will shift some focus from road handling and performance to satisfying environmental concerns. One aim is to reduce the number of accessories by half to decrease costs and secure a better profit margin. All Subarus released in 2011 and after will follow this model.

The first generation Impreza was released back in 1992. The latest was released in 2007 as the third generation Impreza.

Fuel consumption for the 1500cc model is 14.8-17.6km per liter. The fourth generation Impreza that will be released in 2011 will be highlighted by a new engine, a CVT, lighter curb weight, and better aerodynamics. All these factors will help attain a 30% improvement in fuel consumption.

Subaru's Executive Director of Purchasing Naoto Mutou stated, "As there is an adjustment in cost allotment, the excess money spent on the focus of driveability will shift to a current necessity - fuel consumption."

A thorough reduction of parts will be carried out. The current model has over 400 parts when including materials and colors. More parts leads to more costs, and therefore the new model will see half the number of parts.

Fuji Heavy Industries is aiming to reduce manufacturing costs by 10% during 2009-2010. The new Impreza will be the first model to see this change.

Toyota and Honda recently adjusted their earnings estimates upwards. Both companies cited cost reduction as the reason.

კიდევ ერთი პატარა და საინტერესო ინფორმაცია

The day after mashing around an ice course in Park City, Utah, we sat down with one of Subaru's product planners to discuss what the automaker has in store in the near-term. Our questions ranged from Subaru's thoughts about adopting torque-vectoring all-wheel drive ("We're looking into it.") to what, if any progress was being made on the Toyobaru front ("No comment").

But when asked about a four-door version of the STI, our question was met with a slightly cocked head, a small smirk and a faint glimmer in the exec's eye. Could a sedan be in the cards?

Maybe. But judging by this solitary teaser of the 2011 Subaru Impreza WRX STI, it appears that the rally-bred hatch is getting an all-new wing inspired by Subaru's dearly-departed WRC contender. We'll know for sure on Thursday when the wraps officially come off at the New York Auto Show.
