New Subaru WRX


Wow, I love how Subaru went with a 5-door wagon.

Looks great, I can't wait to drive one.

Looks like Subaru's run at a CRX clone... don't care for hatchbacks myself but it is a badass car.

Yeah, I can see the CRX-ness in it. I saw one on the road last week, and absolutely loved it. Still I am not sure that I will ever like it better than the previous design. However, new car designs take time to grow on me. Just like the new 5-series and Tahoes. The old designs were unbeatable, and the new designs are unbeatable.

I'd hit it! The car is ok, too.

I know! They should have a low fix cost too. I know state farm takes into account engine size for rates, but I guess they consider it a "race car" or something crazy like that.

I love the last model WRX STi's, but this new model has too many sharp edges and loses the rally heritage, in my opinion. It could be, though, that over time this new design will grow on me - much like the S197 Mustang.

True. I wonder how in the world WRC is going to cope with it. Also is it going to be any good airborne, going 120 through snow?

Wow don't get me started on that. For some reason all of the sick nastiest (yes that is a word) STIs and EVOs are driven by girls at my Univ.

I mean magazine front cover worthy rides. Wow there is a hot blonde who drives a matte black supped up STI here. Sounds awesome! All of the guys have 350zs and RX7s around here.
