People will still buy the STI because it is "top of the line".

Same mentality of the majority of M/AMG buyers.

It's their halo car.

Unless you dump a crapton of cash into brakes and suspension, possibly oil cooler and other bits as well. Otherwise, it might be okay for SCCA.

Looks a little better in the video.

The official launching pics of WRX looked really bland.

Still think it's a little too like EVO X.

sprintertrueno86 · 01-22-2014, 06:37 PM

I hate how the car makes the wheels look so tiny.

The end of the video was awesome

WRX is growing on me as a car, I can't stand the front of it though.

Anthonytpt · 01-22-2014, 07:01 PM

How else can it grow on you?

Woops, missed the word "drivers" somewhere in there

God the Focus is so heinous looking. I thought it made the 86 look small, but even next to the new WRX it looks like something that should be roasting over a spit.

I plan on taking it to a few track/auto-x days. Will probably spend about 3k on goodies to ensure safe track time. I'm sure everyone is going to be putting out products as soon as the car is released, similar to the brz/frs

Also the exhaust note on the WRX is not cool at all. Way too much rasp, no burble.

Whitigir · 01-28-2014, 08:31 AM

Look like the STI is not being tested, while it will be released in April I heard ? That is late..

In the video, Johnny Lieberman said the Focus ST and the WRX are the same money @ 10:30???
