If you are living in Canada, there is at least one car model that has been selling better than any other in the first month of this year. The Subaru WRX has been selling so fast that dealerships are having troubles keeping them on the lots. The 2015 Subaru WRX STI has been outselling the previous model by a huge margin giving Subaru Canada a reason to report that sales have increased more than 90 percent since the first of the year.
Granted, that might only be a little more than 160 units sold, but that increase in sales is just that, an increase. The newest model was introduced last spring, but at first it did not look like things were going that well for the Subaru WRX. Things changed very quickly and now dealerships are struggling. The Subaru WRX was showcased as a concept in the New York Auto Show in 2013, but when it showed up in LA, the car did not look the same.
Many fans were disappointed that the Subaru WRX was not the same as the concept car they fell in love with at the auto show earlier that year. The concept was featuring a 5-door concept, but the consumer model was a sedan body style and that was not going over well with fans. Reviews hit the web and the disappointment was obvious, but that seemed to change when the critics started talking about the performance.
The Subaru WRX came with a 286 hp 2.0-liter engine as well as chassis upgrades and that is all it took for sales to jump. It could have been the fact that the car was seemingly built for winter fun, but most of the time, performance car sales drop drastically in the winter months. However, the 2015 Subaru WRX comes with Symmetrical all-wheel drive and that is an added bonus when you are talking about winter driving in the far north.
The car was made for fans that want to ski and haul other winter sporting accessories on the roof as it comes with an option roof rack that is idea for your skis or snowboards. This type of car is not likely to be replaced by a winter car in Canada as it was born to be driven in the snow. According to one online source, the Subaru WRX has changed the way that performance cars are looked at in Canada, making the Subaru WRX one of the most popular cars in the country.
