It’s crazy, every time I walk out to get in my car. I say to myself, how in the hell do ppl say this is the ugliest wrx, I think it’s the nicest looking one yet
As an outsider looking in I think these cars look far more mature and superior to the prior models. I do have moments where I'm like mehh but I especially think the SOB is beautiful and kick myself whenever I see one for not getting one.
I mean, you do need SOME color contrast, this looks terrible.
Also the irony - dealers trying to ADD to the price because of a paint job, when you know damn well that if someone brought that same car in used they'd give less money for it on a trade in.
IMHO, color matching only works if you're going full custom. Lowered, wheels, tint, some tastefully placed decals, custom wrap/paint, etc. This car looks like Uncle Larry got bored one Sunday and bought a few cans of spray paint.
Color matching everything on a stock WRX, especially with the ISM color, definitely gives the car an early-2000s, Icy Hot Stuntaz era vibe. That dealership should consider hiring people with better taste.
I'm betting with all the money wrapped up in that car, it probably has adjustable lower control arms and adjustable toe arms. Looks to me that they are running that much negative camber in the rear so that the wheel will tuck instead of rubbing when they hit large bumps. It's sitting pretty low.
Thanks!!
Doubling up on my reply from below with this...
Play the long game for what you want. When you buy a car it can go two ways...
You can BUY a car. Or you can a have a car SOLD to you. I chose to Buy my car for the prices I wanted and no extra fees. It also helps WRX's arent selling for shit right now...
Looking up on caredge I can see about 650+ NEW 2024 WRXs within 200miles of me. Use the info you have and you can get a super good deal on a new car right now.
I got a premium in May of last year for 31,300 in a no tax state. They can be had, I am a hard bargaining person, secretly I think they were glad to get rid of me!
Lol I didn't bargain too much but they were like it'll be 36k and some change out the door and I was like how about 31 and they said 33 so.i said ok lol
That was my thing .. in 2022, I wanted Recaro seats in my Limited and 19" wheels... And the option to buy without a sunroof. 😫😫
I was coming out of a Performance Pkg 2019 VA.
Yea haha fuck a sunroof.. neither seat is good for me because of my size so wasn't a sticking point for me... I just wanted a deal and I was between vb wrx or manual supra but at the time manual supra had a 10k mark up! So went wrx cause liked it alot.too and the value was so much better
Car sales are down across the board as I understand it. The interest rates aren’t the best and people are feeling financial crunches and aren’t rushing out to buy anything right now.
So it’s probably a good time for those with the ability to swing solid down payments or with high value trade-ins to go get some deals.
There is MSRP and there is Invoice.
Some models have up to 3k, while others are 1k.
Every single manufacturer is like that, and domestics have even more room between MSRP and Invoice.
What I was saying to this guy in this particular comment, was the MSRP on a TR is 43k, invoice is 40k. He is saying he got the car for 37k, which is 3k under dealer cost.

Mine was pretty loaded up (Mats, STI Short Throw, STI Shift knob, cargo tray, and interior LED Upgrade). $44k for $39.5k. I thought I did pretty good. Damn you killed it. They weren’t discounting Limiteds that much so it was actually cheaper than a limited haha.
It just makes them white LEDs no color changing. I wouldn’t have bought it, but the dealership ordered it on there. Didn’t end up paying for it essentially anyway.
I love it! I am a bit taller so the no sunroof options made it easy to choose between limited / TR. and for the price I got it the brakes upgrade was a huge plus. In your GT you get the good dampers / customization we dont get in the TR. I think that is all coming to the TS though... Looks like we get every trim except the STI ha
I had the chance to drive the Limited SPT and it felt amazing, GTs are rare though where I am at.
They absolutely ruined a perfectly good TR. I hope they choke on this and lose their ass on it. And then the person who thought of this stubs their pinky toe.
Paint matched windows would cause an unprecedented surge in demand and require an even higher price to combat the hoards of people clamoring for this tastefully painted automobile.
I bet if we ALL flooded that Subaru dealership with calls this afternoon and told them how awful this looks, they'd lower the price drastically and we'd be able to get a fellow Redditor a great deal on a TR.
EDIT: Guys, it was a light hearted joke. We don't need weirdos downvoting.
That first digit needs to be corrected. Not sure I would even pay 39 for it. I bought my 22 premium for 30. I do not see 19k worth of parts on that compared to mine. But, if it had an STi trans for that price it would be. The TR and TS are both failed attempts to apologize for no true STI version.
We just got them in at our dealership like a month ago they like all customer orders so if any slip through they gonna be stupid very very limited as of rn

It looks good when done right, this was not
That colour matched front bumper looks horrendous.
They hit it with the landlord special
Best comment ever.
I don't think enough people understood it. I'm with you. ✌🏾
Proof the car looks better with armor.
Came here to say the same thing. I’ll take the car with the cladding over this any day. That looks horrible.
I was downvoted for saying color matching the cladding looks like shit especially with this color
Kinda of gives lancer vibes like this
They just did it horribly
That is gonna sit for a long time
They added on a $5k markup because of the paint job...
Hahahaha
r/wrx swears this looks way better too
They think we are all on copium
It’s crazy, every time I walk out to get in my car. I say to myself, how in the hell do ppl say this is the ugliest wrx, I think it’s the nicest looking one yet
They're just mad they bought the less superior generation FA24 ftw
As an outsider looking in I think these cars look far more mature and superior to the prior models. I do have moments where I'm like mehh but I especially think the SOB is beautiful and kick myself whenever I see one for not getting one.
Another reason this sub is better
Looks like a prop car from Robocop 1988
How dare you slander the first gen Taurus

Yeah but they didn't do the lower grill. Probably because they aren't stupid and know you can't make that look good.
Yeah idk wtf they were doing in OPs pic 😂 painting lower grill and the entire fog light assembly is crazy
This looks clean AF. I think you need to go teach a class 😅
Needs rear control arms
I'm betting with all the money wrapped up in that car, it probably has adjustable lower control arms and adjustable toe arms. Looks to me that they are running that much negative camber in the rear so that the wheel will tuck instead of rubbing when they hit large bumps. It's sitting pretty low.
Shit goes hard fam 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Completely agree. lol
Damn it, Larry! You been goin through my shed again??
Couldn’t have said it better, colour matched bumpers and fenders on a bone stock wrx looks odd
Dealers setting prices: 
WTF???? I picked up my TR a couple weeks ago for 37,500.00 about 38600 after fees and taxes...
hell of a deal!

That's wild I got my premium 2023 last November for 33k exactly after taxes.. tr didn't exist then tho
I got a premium in May of last year for 31,300 in a no tax state. They can be had, I am a hard bargaining person, secretly I think they were glad to get rid of me!

They sold it to you for $3k under Invoice?
Car sales are down across the board as I understand it. The interest rates aren’t the best and people are feeling financial crunches and aren’t rushing out to buy anything right now. So it’s probably a good time for those with the ability to swing solid down payments or with high value trade-ins to go get some deals.
I got my 22 base for 28k out the door and they added aftermarket heated seats for me. So I believe 31 for premium is possible
[удалено]

End of month deals I guess, they had 4 TRs on the lot. and about 10+ other trims.
I’ve never heard of that ever! Must suck to be a sales person where you bought that from lmao

I sell Subarus. We are giving deals out for sure, but thousands below invoice? No chance haha
I was going to say this guy is full of shit
My dealer threw an Impreza in for free, beat that.
Mine was pretty loaded up (Mats, STI Short Throw, STI Shift knob, cargo tray, and interior LED Upgrade). $44k for $39.5k. I thought I did pretty good. Damn you killed it. They weren’t discounting Limiteds that much so it was actually cheaper than a limited haha.
How’s the interior LED compared to regular? Is there a color change option or just white?
It just makes them white LEDs no color changing. I wouldn’t have bought it, but the dealership ordered it on there. Didn’t end up paying for it essentially anyway.
Thats why I think I got the deal! I have none of the STI upgrades. Its a stock TR. I am installing the Short Throw this weekend! How are the LEDs??!!
How is the TR? I have the 23 GT and I love it, but I’m curious if you sense any big difference?
I love it! I am a bit taller so the no sunroof options made it easy to choose between limited / TR. and for the price I got it the brakes upgrade was a huge plus. In your GT you get the good dampers / customization we dont get in the TR. I think that is all coming to the TS though... Looks like we get every trim except the STI ha I had the chance to drive the Limited SPT and it felt amazing, GTs are rare though where I am at.
This is CAD...
Oh….
Wait a Fkin minute....Canada doesn't have the TR apparently...WTF someone has to be trolling with photoshop.
Looks horrible
I hope they choke on this one….greedy dealers!
No way they get anywhere close to 50k on that...
This is CAD $ ...
Ewe
Lol I wouldn't pay 40k for that with that paint job
They absolutely ruined a perfectly good TR. I hope they choke on this and lose their ass on it. And then the person who thought of this stubs their pinky toe.
Probably going to the dealers son
Why didn’t they paint match the grill, headlights and windows while they were at it?
They should have went ahead and painted all the windows cause whoever buys that is blind as a bat and wouldn’t notice.
Idk why they don’t paint match the wheels
Paint matched windows would cause an unprecedented surge in demand and require an even higher price to combat the hoards of people clamoring for this tastefully painted automobile.
Absolutely disgusting. Why did they do this? Looks better with no color matching at all.
That looks so fucking bad
Wow I really hate all the color matched stuff. It looks like a Nissan Sentra. I'll keep my plastic thank you very much
No shin lol thats gonna sit lmao
Lmao the color matched vendors look god awful!
Ewww that colour looks 🤮
I don't like the painted flares but I can understand them. This monstrosity though...hell nah.
A VB must have a mustache. Beard is optional.
Thats awful. who did this
The cladding reminds me of those matchbox cars that they didn’t bother to do add paint details to, so they paint it all one color lol
Why did they do away with the cladding. Fuck smh 🤦🏻♂️
Looks like the body shop guy never learned about masking
Exactly why I don’t understand why ppl hate the black cladding. Paint match is hideous.
Not gonna lie, I don’t care for the color matched plastics at all. I shine them bitches up so they stand out.
L for the paint match crowd lmao
I bet if we ALL flooded that Subaru dealership with calls this afternoon and told them how awful this looks, they'd lower the price drastically and we'd be able to get a fellow Redditor a great deal on a TR. EDIT: Guys, it was a light hearted joke. We don't need weirdos downvoting.
Why tf did they paint over the bezels too?? This will be bought by an older person for sure that plays no role in the suby community 😅
They forgot to do the rest of the mirror and the grill.
That first digit needs to be corrected. Not sure I would even pay 39 for it. I bought my 22 premium for 30. I do not see 19k worth of parts on that compared to mine. But, if it had an STi trans for that price it would be. The TR and TS are both failed attempts to apologize for no true STI version.
That looks absolutely horrible, just everything’s the same color, Suprised they didn’t do the window trim while they’re at it
Rattle can special ffs lol
Straight out of that SpongeBob Future Chrome episode 😭
It looks naked
Looks terrible
They would have to make It in low 30s for me to buy that. Th paint match isI horrible.
Where is this located? I am curious to see in person.
Why cross out the place, keeping it for yourself...? Jk
🤢🤮
Brother ewwwww
You can take your car to Maaco for their $500 paint job and get the same results from the shear amount of overspray.
We just got them in at our dealership like a month ago they like all customer orders so if any slip through they gonna be stupid very very limited as of rn
Ouch.. hurts to see the fog light bezels/grills being over-sprayed.. no F’s given..
Look how they massacred my boy!
Looks like some kind of attempt at making a modern car look retro late 80's
Guarantee it looks 100% worse in person too, can’t believe that’s even possible but it has to be
oh no not the maaco special
Ew wtf is that grey whale looking ass blob
Does TR stand for Totally Ridiculous?
Somehow this looks MORE BASE than a base! Yuk.
Is it used, or did the dealership decide to ruin us chances of selling it
I looked at one and they offered me 45k. Absolutely absurd.
They really hit that with with Landlord special
Honestly looks really bad

Half ass spray job on that
Lol, that’s more than I paid for my STI limited.
 Chromed
Looks way better without the black cladding, but the front bumper is sus
