This thing is a pure work of art.

The latest version of the STI - the S203

Or the Spec C, or the 22B, or STI Forester. Yeah car companies hate America, looking at any Saturn can tell u that.

I don't think they hate us, I think they hate our emissions and crash standards.

The S203 won't make it anywhere but Japan. Even the UK won't get it. Plus there's only gonna be 555 of them.

Then you read the article and it says this:

The S203is based on STi’s concept of a “global, pure sports sedan.” Using all the research gained from WRC competition, STi has built an Impreza WRX STi with better reflexes and even more comfort. The S203 is designed to be a joy to drive fast on any road, anywhere in the world.

Global - except for anyplace besides Japan.

No doubt about it... cargasm...

I'll just go out and stare at my 04 TS wagon and pretend it's really one of those things.
