still a very valid question...and pricing?

 

I have a bad feeling the price is gonna go up a lot.

They are also introducing the new model that has the current wrx motor in it.

I have a feeling that one is going to be about where our current car is. The 269 model is gonna be more like 28k. and then the sti is gonna be about where it is.

this is there solution to an overpriced sti. stick something in the middle.

But honestly. Depending on how things go I am thinking about another one in 2010. Not sure if it'll be a legacy gt or a new wrx 5 door. Depends on the wife and kid situation.

 

Feel really bad for anyone who bought an 08. Maybe you can go trade it in ;p

Is this the most powerful factory WRX (minus the STi of course) ever put out by Subaru?

 

yes.

 

thats nice

 

I am actually okay with the current STi exterior look. Not too excited about the interior. I think by the time I am ready to buy another car, it'll have another face lift already.

 

I thought the interior of the new STi was amazing. What don't people like about it?

 

i agree. and optional gps! even when the 07's came with the aux port i felt jipped. oh well..

and someone on here has a sedan thats dumped. it looks pretty mean. i saw it in the pictures thread i think?

 

btw, anyone see the wnew WRX commercial during the x games yesterday.

it was pastrana flogging the sedan wrx around the tracking smoking tires everywhere.

last tagline was "invest in rubber" or something like that... lol...

i thought the sedan looked like the LGT at first.

 

Doesn't look too bad, guess they had to do something considering the Lancer Ralliart is also being released at the same time.

haha you obviously didn't drive an 07 then an 08 WRX and feel like something was missing then. Or see the 08 WRX get punked in reviews that the older WRXs used to do the punking in

 

I'm glad they grew on me. I just hate the paint!!! In 2k my 08 STi has more damage to the paint than my 07 WRX did in 20k

 

the 09 is basically a Stage I 08 WRX with a bigger turbo and moderate upgrades that most 08 owners will probably do anyway though.

Whats going to be crazy is how close the 09 WRX Stage II will be to an 08 STi

And I read somewhere that the 09 WRX beats the EVo X in the 1/4 mile to. I think that was from Edmunds.

 

makes me appreciate my bugeye even more.

 

do you have proof of this?
