The WRX is a compact, whereas the Regal is a midsize. Other than that, the Regal is much heavier (3,671 lbs) vs. WRX (3,100) and is itself luxury vehicle whereas the WRX is an econobox with more power. Have you seen one of them wonderful WRX interiors? All the luxury amenities do add weight…


@Loud_R
Have you ever driven a vehicle with the 2.8? It’s not a good engine. Besides being old, it’s rough, loud (not in a good way), and doesn’t deliver the power of a V8 or the fuel economy of a V6. If they were to put a V6 in a Regal (which isn’t in the plans), it should be the 3.6 DI LFX making 323 horses. No turbos needed.
