wrx vs sti

I hate WRX 2nd gear(lags outta corners not taken at scary speeds)...so 6-speed would prolly be nice.
17" stock rims = good.
2.5L 300hp stock engine, check!
Brembos = more stoppage.
Center Dif = badass, though would like AYC.
Er, I think I like everything about the STI 'cept the wing, pricetag, insurance rate hikes, extra attention from the po-po and streetricers and, again, no wagon. Oh yes, and no bugeyed STIs(yes, i do like the bugeyes)
I remember when i first got my WRX. I immeadiately grew horns and started drivin' like a damn fool. I was drunk with power, literally. I can only imagine what would have happen if it was an STI.

Styling is all a matter of taste but the newer WRX's front-end seems more generic than the bugeyes...'cept the hoodscoop which is kinda over the top.
But I do like the sharply creased bumper of the 04+ wagons better than the 02-03s.
BTW, I love the WRX's 3rd gear.
