Earlier this year at the New York Auto Show, Subaru premiered the WRX Concept. It was one of the stars of the show thanks to its very dramatic styling. Now a new report from Automotive News says Subaru is readying the production version to be shown at the LA Auto Show in November.

The new WRX is expected to be a four-door only and leave it dirt roots of previous models. Subaru has said the new model will be more focused for road duty. Power will come from a turbocharged 2.5L boxer-four producing somewhere in the range of 265 to 290 horsepower.

Wow, at first glance, I thought I was staring down the face of a Jaguar XKR. I like the looks of it, it reminds me of an Audi in some places. But you would think it would have been made for the track with that kind of appearance.

It looks awesome. However, I'm a bit disappointed that they're leaving their rally roots behind. It's understandable considering Subaru has been out of the WRC for years now.

The next gen WRX and STI should be dramatically better cars than their predecessors because they're being built on separate platforms from the Impreza.
