Subaru still refuses to build another WRX wagon/hatchback for the US, and we can’t figure out why. The old five-door was hugely popular among enthusiasts before it disappeared for good in 2012. Since then, we’ve only gotten increasingly worse versions of the sedan—with no hint of a returning hatchback (unless you live in Europe).
One WRX fan, though, decided to take matters into his own hands. Stephen Ketslen—who goes by @vb_hatch on Instagram—transformed his stock Crosstrek into a proper WRX hatchback. And we don’t mean a lookalike body kit; this is a true FA24-swapped Crosstrek with pieces ripped straight from a modern WRX. And it absolutely rules.
