How are WRX sales as of 08?

Man, I think I've seen maybe 3 2008's since they have been released, be it STi or WRX... I don't see them ANYWHERE!

Subaru has to be hurting... Whats going on with them?

ive said it before... if subaru designers came on the forum and asked us what we would wanna see out of the new wrx/sti and how do we want it to look 50% of us would have probably traded our cars in for whatever model they came out with.

They asked Homer Simpson for his input on what he'd like in a car and we got this...

i think we see them out there but we don't know because the wrx looks like a corola, and the sti looks like a mazda. so who knows.

Believe it or not, Impreza sales are up for February. Maybe just not in our area.

they blend in with the norm!

If that is really the case, I think they've got what they wanted. After 08 came out, I gave it some thoughts, I think Subaru wants to be able sell Impreza like your everyday Corolla, Camry, Civic, Accord, etc. At the end of the day, it's all about money.

I've seen pleanty of 08 Impreza Outback Sports. On the other hand, I've only seen a few 08 WRX's, and two 08 STi's on the roads.

I've seen 2 new wrx's since they have come out. I saw once yesterday on my way to work in the rincon valley area. Only noticed it because he was staring at my car so I mugged back; when I realized it was a wrx I gave him the 2 fingers (peace).
