Subaru of America just teased a new picture (enhanced image above) of the all-new 2022 WRX sports car, and we now know it will be a sedan and not a hatchback body style. Performance enthusiasts have been asking Subaru Corporation to bring back the WRX and STI hatch since the automaker dropped it in 2015.
But it won t happen anytime soon because the image Subaru released and spy shots are of a sedan performance car. It s not a surprise since Subaru Corporation is slow to make significant exterior changes to any models in its all-wheel-drive lineup.

Subaru of America has a disappointing June because they are running out of cars for its retailers to sell. Customers would buy more if they had them. Subaru reported 42,877 vehicle sales for June 2021, a 20.5 percent decrease compared to June 2020 due to reduced inventory resulting from the global microchip shortage.
The 2021 Subaru Forester (-54.8 percent) and Crosstrek (-37.4 percent) took the biggest hit among the top-selling SUV models. The Impreza, built in Lafayette, Indiana, was also a big loser, down 51.1 percent.
It s our guess, Subaru of Indiana Automotive, where the automaker manufactures the 2022 Outback, Ascent, Impreza, and Legacy, ramped up new Outback production in May. The Outback midsize SUV was the only SUV in the lineup, increasing the month over the previous year.
