blah, blah, blah, blah... and then this...

Subaru also reports that we can expect a turbocharged boxer-4 diesel for the WRX by early 2009. The company is eager to drop a high-mpg diesel into the Forester and Impreza soon after the Legacy gets Subaru's first diesel next summer, so the WRX is part of the program. And word from inside Subaru City also confirms that the company is working on a five-speed automatic and a continuously variable transmission, and both these options could be offered as early as mid-2009.

Thats the only reason i would buy an 08+ i think.... the diesel.

And then this while discussing the forthcoming STI... :eek:

Apparently it will not feature a dual-clutch sequential manual transmission with steering-wheel-mounted shift paddles. Aisin, one of the largest transmission manufacturers in Japan, is developing this technology for Subaru, but it won't appear until the 2009 Subaru Impreza WRX STI.

I just might have to keep the legacy until '09 now and buy a Forester XTD.

I want a STi-D Forester or Legacy wagon with paddle shifters.

















Just the thought of that makes my wiener tingle.

i thought the same thing when i saw that :doh: it just needs a little coilover upgrade :happy:

They really did turn it into a chick car...

i think subaru just pulled a VW(gti).... sold out with their race background and started to make it more luxorious.... ****ing stupid... after seeing that body roll I don't think i'll be buying one

Agreed. Some of the first pics of the hatch wasn't that bad, but now... I dunno. It looks like a cross from Honda, a Golf, and maybe the BMW hatch. It is really ugly...

You guys are actually talking **** about that body roll being bad and judging the car by it........it's a WRX.

Here's a thought; the outside compresses, and the inside drops away on a cambered corner. That picture shows that car really kicking power to the rear and pounding it out of the corner, and you're trying to make judgments on the suspension from it?

Everyone's entitled to opinions on the styling, but how are you going to condemn the car before you've even driven the damn thing?

Apparently, noone's been around long enough to remember the exact same "sky is falling" bs with the 02's, the 04's. and the 06's.....arg.
