There's a few different views, with the most popular ones being:

World Rally Cross Country
World Rally Xtreme
World Rally eXperiment

Or X just meaning 4/AWD

WRX is shrot for World Rally Cross. The model of which this car takes the name WRX is the one and only Impreza. The makers of the Impreza goes by the name of Subaru.
A few subaru acronyms

WRX - World Rally Cross
STi - Subaru Tecnica Internacional
RA - Racing group A (pretty much means lightweight)
DCCD - drive controlled center differential
AVCS - Active valve control system

Remember, Subaru is Japanese, and so the translation may be Engrish.

WRX stands for world rally cross, its just like MX stands for motorcross... something to do with the X looking or meaning cross... because it crosses.... i believe lol

A bit like BMX: Bicycle Motor Cross, you'd be amazed at the amount of people who don't know what it stood for.

RA version stands for race altered.
World Rally eXperimental is the correct term from Subaru and not world rallycross
Same as NSX was new sports Experimental and CRX Civic Renaissance Experimental
