    New Wrx

    Like it or hate it, I agree with the report writers note, that it's price (under 40k + ORC) will end up seeing lots of em sold....

    there's a red one standing at newstead subaru. i must say, i dont mind it at all. will appeal to a far greater market!

    As wraith pointed out, the STi SHOULD be something different!
    same as mitsubishi has done with the EVO and Nissan with the GTR.

    The power figures are too low for an engine that size and force-fed. Especially peak torque kicking in at a high 2800rpm....I mean come on...turbo charged 2.5L....give me peak torque at 1900rpm all the way through 4000rpm and I'll be impressed.

    excuse me?

    focus st 2.5 5cyl 166kw 0-100 6.5sec
    impreza wrx 2.5 4cyl 169kw 0-100 5.4sec (claimed) (drive tested at 5.8)

    i know they could EASILY push over 200kw, but keep in mind the market they are aiming for with the new wrx. if you want power, its always been the reason to buy the STi.

    the MPS has beaten the new wrx in about 3 or 4 comparo's done in the states..search youtube and you will find two of them. The only thing the wrx has going for it these days is awd..nothing else.

    completely missed the point of my post .

    rear lights are odd. LED's look odd.

    Interior looks alright, but its still a bit of a funny shap over all and the lack of the aggressively ugly look of the last model is lost on the the new, but with this thou additional buyers will likely look at it
