Yeah, I was saying that they were going to do that a long time ago....Typical, they always got to try and keep that price point down, and we lose out in the process. Although, I dont know why I am complaning...hehe I am a Subaru man!

This thing also has an open front diff. That is a huge thumbs down.

Yeah it's got no electronics but it still much cheaper than an STI will be and has similar HP ratings.

Things I like:
Brembo's
Recaro's
271 factory ponies

Things I dislike:
stupid name
no acd
no ayc
open front diff
Pontiac grill

I would actually buy the one from evolution imports over this one. It is 10 grand more, but it is raw and real with ayc and acd, with a front lsd.

They are supposed to be as fast as the JDM version. They tested them down in Thailand, and that is what the drivers said.
