I am thoroughly impressed. It's a shame I will never be able to afford one in, say, the next 7 years

 

new interior material, new styling, looks great!

 

o my good lord.... 2.5 turbo!!! 300hp! i think subaru finally took a big step in the right direction, upped the ante tremendously!! this is really stinking awsome.

they're already changing the body style?!?!?! what is that going to do to our 2002 models? make them obsoluete, or collectors or what?????

 

my first post here (I just bought a my03wrx).

like the new model ( i will trade in for the sti), but do you think they could take off that annoying and horribly designed rear spoiler (here's to hoping it's an optional item). Yuck.

 

Personally, I think the facelift is worse than the bugeyes, but most parts should be interchangeable from the 02 to the 03 to the 04, except, of course, the body panels.

So, no, the 02s will not be obsolete.


I find it sadistically fitting that Subaru would do this just 3 days after the big Evo hoopla out in LA

 

that happens to be a WRC designed spoiler... probably does some good. i would think that the car would come stock w/ the spoiler, but just my guess.


quote from the website:
"For example, the 2.5-liter turbocharged powerplant is the largest displacement engine ever installed in a WRX STi model and is exclusive to the North American market. This unique engine provides strong torque characteristics at both low and high rpm. It is the most powerful 4-cylinder engine available in the US."

 

Not bad...

Though I have had a 2.5 Turbo for quite some time now.

Joking... Damn that is one sweet car. Wonder how mnay will be made?
