hell yeah, RS will always rule as long as they keep making cars bigger.

The only time a car company has ever made a car smaller would have to be muscle cars going from 60's to late 70's. Otherwise cars will always get bigger with generation which is stupid!

take that Toyota Tacoma, "Mini" Cooper, even the MX-5 is a little bigger than the Miata. I dont understand the reasoning behind it other than people getting bigger.

We have the '09s. Quite a few of them, actually. Overall the car looks better. I haven't driven one because I just haven't had time. Red stitching inside looks nice but I have to tell you I'm just not a fan of the red WRX stitched into the seatback. They could have left that out. There are a couple other little touches inside that people probably will never notice.

The hatch looks really good with the STi wing and charcoal/gunmetal wheels. Overall more agressive. The grill looks a lot better but again the WRX could have been left off. The sedan continues to be the sedan. Its actually growing on me.

Thumbs up

Well the wrxs are in, we got sedans to wagons. Personally i think the swp wagon is the best looking one out of them all. The sport grill just sets it off. If you guys wanna come checkem out send me a pm or just drop by ill be here till closing. Just ask for Jazz and i will take care of you koff jerome koff.

I saw a teeny lil fellow driving a new STi this morning on 101S, it looked pretty cool - had a rear end that looked new to me. The exhaust had silver rings around it and was sorta like the pic Kyle posted. Looked cool.

The 'rings' around the exhaust are the finishers. They look pretty good and are actual aluminum pieces. Not cheesy plastic.

If you guys are in the area and want to see the new WRX just wander into the parts department. I'll make Chris point them out to you. Heh.

+1
I drove the 08 STi around the track @ turn 8-9 it was having rear chatter. I asked the guy about it he said "oh thats the dccd" I thought to myself Ah no.. Thats suspension and this car doesnt even come close to feeling like my car. Older cars feel very planted on the track. The new one least #17 that I drove felt very skechy in the rear.

Only rumor. Rumor started by a conversation about wishes I'd imagine.
