Save your money and wait for 280HP version of WRX. 227HP is not worth it. I think they are charging $25000 for that car. I have sat in it last Friday in Detroit AutoShow. The interior is almost the same as the 2.5RS. The only difference is that now they have a turbo gauge.

Do a search or scroll down for the WRX thread... I posted a link to the STi in there.

Personally I'd get the Mitsubishi Lancer Evo VII before the WRX STi, not that that's currently available either.

Nice car at an "affordable" price. I can't see myself driving one, but for you people who want AWD with performance, get it.

The STi... no one knows if it's going to show up. It'll be more expensive, too. Do you really want to drive an expensive Subaru? Once you get over the 30K mark, you're in a different territory.

With an OEM bodykit and a wing, it'll look good.

The lights look too "cute" for me... I dunno, looks a bug from the front.

as a kid hauler, it would be pretty cool. I originally didn't think it would have the spunk, but.... it would probably be a lot more fun than current typhoon kid hauler (clunky american stuff)

Actually, the WRX's headlights look pretty damn cool with the HID rally light setup!!!!



Not a big fan of the stockers tho...
