Motoring.com.au spoke with Masuo Takatsu, Subaru’s general manager for the WRX and the company is now re-considering putting the “hatch” back in the WRX.
“We have received strong interest from the US, where the hatchback was 50 percent (of previous-generation WRX sales), so we’re now considering,” Takatsu told Motoring, noting that the United States is Subaru’s main target for this car. Additionally, Takatsu said the company’s decision to only offer the sedan was the result of limited engineering resources, echoing statements we’ve previously heard from Subaru’s US arm.
Should the WRX hatch be green-lit, it’s unclear exactly when the car would launch. However Subaru have now opened up the configurator for both the 2015 WRX and the WRX STI are live on the company’s US consumer website.
