Even though these STi's are hatchbacks I'd take Dave Mirras' dark grey w/ neon green and whip that one around.

I was surprise that Puma joined team w Subaru. Puma used be in team w Mitsubishi... so seeing this was a BIG surprise to me.

That's definitely true. However, Mitsubishi has been out of the WRC since 2005 and other rallies for a while. Although you may see Mitsubishi's out there in the races, they are not endorsed/sponsored by Mitsubishi.

On the other hand, Subaru Rally Team America still runs in Rally America and endorses/sponsors their cars. If Puma wants to stay in this sport, only logical brand would be Subaru. Plus ever since Ken Block and his videos, rally has become bigger in the U.S. which might also be why Puma is doing so (to gain a bigger market in the U.S.).

I still wouldn't buy those shoes though. haha

Subaru also still has factory teams in PWRC and IRC.

Puma X Subaru is pretty interesting.

If you guys had a choice would you rather have Adidas, Nike, Puma, or Reebok as partners and for driving shoes for your car company?

I would have Adidas or Nike. Hands down.

I like Puma, can't wait to see what Subaru gear they're going to come out with.

I bet those pumas feel awesome on the pedals.

Same here! I like Puma! I also like Subaru! So win-win for me!

Hmm interesanto.

I always felt Puma was a bit stiff but then again I haven't purchased a shoe from them in a while. I'd still side with Nike and Adidas.

I'll probably check these shoes out in person to see how they came out though.

Puma then Adidas hands down. Why? They MAKE driving shoes.

The Drift Cat from Puma x Ferrari is still the best shoe I ever had driving. Perfect for every day use and driving.

I replaced everything Nike/Jordan with Puma now. Hell, I was about to buy Puma motorcycle racing boots, but I'm not riding for a few years.
