after noticing the TL Type-s, and IS350/IS-F, looks like Subaru wants to join in on the luxury/sport fun.

They say that the first ones were the rawest and quickest drag-wise, they were tested at 0 - 60 @ 4.6 seconds or less in some other magazines. In the most recent turbo car test in Road & Track, the WRX came in second to the cobalt SS in overall testing, but fastest at the autocross track. Third was the Mazdaspeed 3 and last was the Lancer Ralliart. Props to Subaru for listening and correcting some of the flaws with the 08 Rex, now they need to fix the handling and steering on the current STi.

If the '07 "tuned by STI" Legacy is any indication, then it'll start around $42K.

...i still love my 08...

you guys are making me feel like Itsuki in Initial D when he discovered that his car wasn't the DOHC AE86 like Takumi's...

I bought my 08 with the intention of bettering it along the way but I do take some reserved offense to the remark that those that bought the 08 are kicking themselves. ::shrugs:: I love my 08 because it's all mine and if my beetle was any indication of my N/A engine tuning abilities, this thing will rock.
