Subaru Impreza and Crosstrek are a good example of that. Same engine, same electronics, same everything except a slightly differently shaped shell on the outside. Even the interior volume is practically the same!
- michaelt 2y agoIsn't the Impreza a famous rally car? With a spoiler and an air scoop on the hood? I can think of worse things for a crossover to share an engine with.
- marxisttemp 2y agoThe WRX (which is now its own model instead of an Impreza trim level) has a different engine than the stock Impreza.
- nick3443 2y agoWhen the chassis were lighter it was a better combo. Now the chassis are so heavy it's underpowered.

- redwall_hp 2y agoThe Impreza WRX was the rally platform, kind of like how you can get a fast Civic Type R or a Golf GTI as opposed to the "regular" model. In recent years, the WRX has been spun off into a separate line, dropping the Impreza name. The regular Impreza is separate.
- idontwantthis 2y agoThat one is especially confusing to me because they even have the imprezza hatchback which likes identical to a crosstrek if you squint your eyes. Maybe they don’t sell that one anymore?
- lamp_book 2y agoThey actually dropped the Impreza sedan in the latest gen, it’s only the hatchback now. I always disliked the crosstrek since it’s a heavier Impreza on an already dogged engine but they are/were the only manual version so some people were buying them for that.
