Subaru, citing the advent of electrification and other environmental regulations, said it will not produce a WRX STI with an internal combustion engine based on the recently launched WRX platform.

When it goes on sale this summer, the 2023 Solterra, Subaru's first electric vehicle, will start at $46,220 and top out at more than $53,000.

Subaru's partnership with Toyota that launched a couple of nifty sports cars, the Subaru BRZ and Toyota 86, moves in a new direction that is more suited for the all-wheel-drive specialist.
