    Following Subaru's tradition of producing "meh-looking" little cars with loads of performance...... but I still don't know if I would pay for one...... can't wait to see how it drives :D

    Much better than the WRX though, as far as styling goes, but I really need to see it in person before I pass any judgement...... not quite as striking as the Evo X, I must say..... :(

    I'm not a big fan of this new STi (yet) but I think it looks a lot better than the new evo X

    I bet it looks even more striking in person. And I must say that it wears that dark grey color extremely well. I think it's going to be an incredible car.

    It may be that with the US-Spec block and the demands of the Dual AVCS that the oiling system just might not be up to par for trips past 6600 rpm.

    I want to know what turbo is on it for it to make peak TQ at 4000...altho it could be that the D-AVCS could make it peak there instead of 4400 on the same turbo.

    OR...it could just be that the red zone starts at 6600 and it actually limits at 7100 like that last one.

    I'd rock that car anyday, but only after 10th Street had done some magic with the rear tail-lights.

    245 tires stock is awesome.

    I agree. It looks bad ass in the video.

    By the way, anyone know if that center console gauge screen (displaying what looked like TPS, AVC-S and fuel) is stock?!?!?!?!?

    Ouch.
    OK, so if they are that much, I'll be getting one from the used market about 2 years after that. Unless I make a boatload of money somehow... Hmmm.

    Anyone want to buy one of my kids? ;)

    hahaha....that looks like the same intercooler that comes on the pre06 WRXs


    oh, and there are two things that I like about this car so far, and that is it.

    Nav - looks like they did a decent job of integrating it into the car.

    Tires - 245's FTMFW bitches

    Improves, without a doubt.
    Fixes, not unless Chip Foose and a crew of body workers comes with them :)
