Dont forget, pointless drag race

You are not gonna race everyday though

@@hybridShinx depends, Drag racing involves tremendous engineering as well

Which car reviews you watch? Must be a shit one

The WRX is a joke now, cant even outrun a Camry or Accord

I would say that he took into consideration both Taniguchi's and Orido's arguments. He agreed the tire choice from the factory for the A45 was not as effective as the STi, but he also considered the performance they both gave, as well as the quality and characteristics of the cars. If you watch Orido's scoring he says the STi out-scored the A45 mostly because it's excellent bang for buck. You get 6 pots up front and supremely designed suspension and chassis along with a good tire choice from the factory, while the A45 was an overall more accommodating vehicle, with performance to match, but costs 3 million yen more, which isn't chump change. Tsuchiya basically said performance wise they're basically identical, but it just depends how much you want to spend and what you expect out of the car. You can either say the STi is better because it's nearly as performant as the A45 for 3 million yen less (nearly 30k USD) or you can say the A45 is the more complete package because you get the performance of a STi (which is an excellent bar to set for yourself) but you still maintain the luxury fittings and ride quality. The A45 they just released here in the U.S.A. could arguably have another leg up due to the A series Mercs having the newer MBUX system, which is one of the most advanced vehicle management/interactive systems in production, which pushes the technology gap between the two even further. But, you're going to pay some $$$$ for that tech. Overall, I'd say this is the most balanced race I've seen in this series aside from the Amuse S2k and the other one (I forgot the tuner's name, but it was several years back. An absolute epic battle that I think remains unresolved to this day).

Doubt that, Japan car manufacturers could care less about racing nowadays

Stock vs Stock off the shelf

300 HP for a daily street car is MORE than enough. I have this car and I do not understand why anyone would need to mod this to make more unless you're racing it on the weekends.

@@hybridShinx With everyone wanting "performance" SUVs it doesn't make sense to compete in the Sedan market anymore. It's a shame that the racing spirit is lost in cars nowadays. In favor of huge mommy cars with 300+ hp but no cornering ability.

Top Gear is never this serious.. TG is an entertainment show with cars in it.

i wouldnt hold my breath. subaru makes too much money doing other things anymore.

this wrx almost 30000 usd cheaper lol. very impressive for japanese cars to me

Japanese car focus has turned towards other, profitable interests than sports cars anymore. Not the fun and daring carmakers they used to be.

ランエボが消滅してライバルが無いWRXじゃ張り合いが無いのかもね ましてやWRCにも参戦してないから日本がこの分野で圧倒するのは厳しいんだろうな

元々、WRカーのレギュレーションが日本車潰しのルールとも言われています。そこに排ガス規制が駄目押しな上に車嫌いの益子前社長の舵取りによるランエボ終了も有ります。対する外車勢はイメージリーダーが必要と言う考え方が有るためスポーツモデルは必需品と言う考え方が有ります。但し、日本車と違い生活四駆が無いのでその分コストが上がり更にスペックが過剰になる傾向が有るので車両価格は高く手軽さは有りません。

@@user-xw1wh1ux6z 2005年くらいからのWRカー規定の変遷は本当に酷い。 量産車の工学的美点を競技に持ち込むという点において、ラリーはツーリングカーレース以上にこだわるべき本質であるのに、どんどん逆行していった。 露骨な縦置きEG潰し。 ヨーロッパ人の意地汚さを垣間見た。

yeah im totakky agree with the statement, subaru needs to go back to its home WRC. hope FIA give some chance for subaru to back

What cars are you referring to in that segment against the WRX? Here in the states the only other options are a Golf R (more expensive) and the Focus ST (not as good)

現行A45更に速くなってそうですね😓 新型ヤリスをチューニングしたら五分じゃないでしょーか…日本のチューナーに期待です💨

Added weight couldn't turn the table. That would destroy balance and reduce power to weight ratio. If power u need, More boost.

@@muhammadfirdauszainnalamir6259 Only a true enthusiast would appreciate this fact. You don't want to mess around with the balance of this car.

If you know how to drive manual and are proficient it's VERY difficult to want an automatic sports car. Takes away a lot of the skill and thrill of driving a sports car. Faster doesn't mean better nowadays when you're comparing 0.2 second differences in 0-60 times.

Sti is much affordable tho. Hope I can afford the next gen sti someday.

No, you have a rallycar and a Mercedes is no rallycar. Then you are stupid and better take the bus or train.

ぷそつまめたろう タイヤの差じゃないすかね

ただやっぱり300万安いは大きい。300万チューニングしたらWRXも十分勝てる。

@@user-ik2ky6kf4u 正直パワー上げても他の性能では全部負けてる

日本車も安全性第一なのは同じです。でなければ欧州では戦えません。同じ安全性を出しながらも、軽量化も出来ている車があればそれもまた凄いことです。特にスバルやホンダ(両社共に定評のあったセダンの販売は辞めてしまいましたが)などの安全性は数十年前からヨーロッパではお墨付きでもあります。 価格は、アウディ車が高額なのに殆ど一緒のフォルクスワーゲンがリーズナブルというのと似ていて、大半は高級とされるメーカー及びブランドのステータスフィーかと。 メルセデスベンツに至ってはフェラーリとまでは行きませんが、F1に参戦し続けている事もあるのか高額でも収益を維持できるのも一例として考えられる気がします。

Don't hate car manufacturers for that. They are pushed around by millions of regulations, especially regarding safety. Not that its a bad thing to care about safety but its not their fault the shapes of the cars are so similar.

Isn't most Cars at The Same Class used to be mostly looks alike since 40s

@@kristisrb a necessary sacrifice unfortunately

@@kristisrb Correct, they even have to account for pedestrian safety. It's why all cars basically look the same.

the a45 is like 100.000€ and the sti is 50.000 its impresive

Giratina86 where I’m from the highest trim level of the Sti cost $9k more than the A45. Not a significant difference like your country

With the AMG having that much more power over the STi, can’t complain about those results. STi hung in there for sure.

Not really

Yes, the STI is the best and you can tuned it, to 800hp. Mercedes is a luxe car, not a rally car.
