The automaker recently sent out a survey to owners asking a few questions to gauge interest in a reintroduction. The last manual Subaru SUV left the brand’s lineup three years ago, but the survey specifically asks whether owners would consider buying a stick-shift SUV in the future.

What about making awd CARS like in the past. What about making an affordable electric vehicle like in the future ?

Nope. Can't do that. Rehashing old technology it is. Just think of the shareholders!

What I want more than anything is a hatch back WRX, but I'll take any Subaru w a manual transmission to replace my 2014 Impreza.

I had a chance to buy a hatch WRX but went with a GTI. And that has made all the difference.

I learned to drive on a stick, and my first two cars were sticks. I don't want to drive a stick anymore.

Most SUV drivers have enough problems with 2 pedals.
