This is what the 08 WRX should have looked like in the first place. The previous generation WRX had the same fender flares as the STI and I guess they stopped just to create more visual difference between the two.
Too bad they're keeping the same pos 5 speed transmission though. The super stout 6 speed alone is one of the biggest reasons to go for the STI.

Owned? Did you READ the test, or just look at the results?
Yes, they gave the Mazdaspeed 3 second place in their subjective ratings based on better chassis feel and a lower price, but I think the WRX was far from being "owned".

I read the test! I didn't just read that one either. I went over to CarandD and they echoed similar sentiments. Coming in 3rd place isn't exactly shining, brother. I mean, Mother. I cant help but to think its a Japanese Mustang. Pre-2011 Mustang, of course. Hopefully I'm proven wrong this time.
Loose and Vague Steering
