I still F'n love it!!! The new Forester is ready in a week. I think I am going to test drive the Forester and the WRX. If I like to WRX better I'm holding off ofr the STi.

On the spec sheet it claims that the wrx is a FWD, obviously a typo but I actually like the look.

They quoted Superglue WRX from I-club, that was kind of cool. Traction control and hill start assist? Less interference by computers the better for me in the handling department. I have always prefered the WRX and the STi for that very reason over the EVO's, more control and predictability on the track.
