If that is the case, the wait will be worth it. Road & Track reports that Subaru is considering the new Impreza platform for a hybrid vehicle, it seems to me they would have to offer a hybrid WRX. The gas mileage for the standard Impreza isn’t exactly impressive, and only an automatic-equipped Legacy even breaks 30 mpg (31 to be exact). A standard 2010 WRX has a 265 horsepower flat-four Boxer engine – imagine adding a 50 horsepower electric motor to the all-wheel drive system?
