Broken a lot by SOA Rally team. (and the PWRC team as well) doing Rally!
but to be honest they don't really market it much, and even when they do, it doesn't matter how often they break down as long as they can get a few 5 second clips of a cool looking drift. and they pretty much always win in the US (helps a lot there are no other factory teams in the us competing against them, and they hire the best drivers)
Subaru as a factory effort competes in Rally-America Open championship and they also still compete in
P-WRC
and to my knowledge Subaru doesn't have any other official factory race teams in any other motor sport.
so it would seem to be logical that if they are redesigning the WRX "for motor sports" they would focus on what they actively race in ... and the "crap in the back" is worse for durability. Yes it's better on the race track , but that's not where the WRX really belongs (IMO which will be bashed on here quickly)
the BRZ should get the track oriented suspension (which it has, now it just needs HP) , and the WRX should get rally oriented suspension.
But what we will probably see is the wrx getting all fancy (and weaker) in the back, and the BRZ staying low HP..
