I just hope the next time I'm purchasing a car (~5 years) there'll be a new version of the WRX out as I'll probably be ready to get back into a more practical car (recently got engaged and who knows if kids might pop out...).

EDIT: The car actually looks pretty nice from the side profile in red.
I feel the same way. It sounds like many of the complaints I had about the steering/shifter of the previous WRX have been addressed, but I still am not loving the exterior (need to see it in person). Still seems to heavy too, but I will give one a drive. It would have to drive very good for me to give up my BRZ, but the Motortrend report is quite favorable. STi version should be awesome.
