The Fun Hatchback?

Following the success of the GD-era WRX and STI, Subaru made a big splash into the hot-hatch market in 2008 with the GR chassis. Available as both the WRX and the tuned-up STI variant, the practicality... of a hatchback was suddenly no longer a compromise in the fun department.

Let's not forget that both the WRX and STI were also available as four-door sedans, carrying on the torch from their predecessors. If you want to get technical, Subaru introduced four chassis codes from 2008-to 2014: GE, GH, GR, and GV. For some reason, GR is the one that stuck. Why did Subaru discontinue the turbocharged hatchback after 2014? We will never know. We DO know that Super Low Air Suspension is available for the 2008-2014 Subaru WRX and STI, which won't ever change!
