Don't you ****ers see that they're giving the wrx a 6mt? Who cares about power? It will need a bigger turbo regardless.

I give you a thumbs up.

As awesome as that is, it most likely won't be the same beefy six-speed as the STI.

Modified from the Forester's manual, it uses the same carbon synchros on first and second but has diferent second and sixth gears and a cable-shift linkage instead of the Forester's rods.
From what I hear, the Forester's 6-speed is already numb to begin with, and still to have it be cable-actuated and practically an overdrive 4th, and 5th gear (hearing the 3rd gear was still nice and short and assuming the different 6th gear has a better ratio) is not exactly a huge improvement, imho. Still, I'm juiced that the WRX is having a six-speed too.

The splitcase cable actuated 6-speed isn't exactly new, either, as it's been used on diesel models that are only available overseas.

300 is plenty for every non professional use you can do with it as far as I need. I just want an incredibly tuned suspension, beefy hubs and drivetrain, 6sp, and stiff chassis.
Because camrys are gonna have more hp than the sti

so go buy a camry. I love their commercials, I immediately think wait, Have I ever known anyone who had a camry who had a ****ing clue about cars or knew anything about them? No? Why the **** would I care what they have to say about cars then.

After seeing what can be done with the BRZ i'm more concerned with the car and it's agility, otherwise I could get a diesel truck to make 1000hp. I think the brz proved that while power can be missed most of you idiots don't know how to use it anyway so whats the difference. 300hp is plenty for the street, you can put 450 in your's and I'll still be faster thru canyons. I can buy a tbe myself and change the stock 15 psi, trying to correct a suspension is much more difficult.


Anyways nobody even know what the sti is going to be or curb weight. Basically all you power monkeys are being a nay saying turds when you don't even know what the rest of the car is going to be.

Let us be clear here, I am saying no, because its a ****ing ugly car. Its got no soul, no form, no heart to it. Its a importclone now, its lost all identity that made it a Subaru in the first place.

*edit* and let me make this clear, I will laugh in the face of any idiot who buys one. Flat out, point at them, laughing, and call them all sorts of names for their clear lack of taste, or IQ.

I bet years ago when forester xt came to the US..there was some tool that was just like you that would laugh in the face of anyone that bought the lesbian box. Circle of life I suppose.

I really like the front, it's pretty similar to the current impreza that's available. Saw one in person 2 days ago and thought it was a legacy though at first from the front haha

I wonder if that has anything to do with the fact that it IS the current Impreza?
