Just saw this program last night. The WRX STi was No. 3 on that list. No. 1 was the Corvette and No. 2 was the Mustang.

 

The Vette and the mustang have been around for a long time. Both have had very sweet cars at one time or another. In fact the new Z06 is one of the best Vette's ever made and really keeps up with the higher price exotics very well. As for the mustang........ I don't know! I have always had a soft spot in my heart for Mustangs. They are like the little engine that could(I think i can, I think I can, I think I can) they just haven't got there yet. I think that a lot of Mustangs are very capable, just not from the factory.
Duh!! I just saw the list. Sti was voted favorite new car for 2k4. Very Cool!
