Maybe the click bait sites have just made me cynical to all that info but I just can not believe a thing they say anymore.
I understand the same news on multiple sites. If it was truly false, I would assume a statement would have been released debunking it.

Ya they all get it from each other and pass it around. In fact one of the ones you posts actually cites the other one as the source.

I could only dream that these things would get debunked but unfortunately that just isn't the way of the web.

I would consider something to be true until proven wrong or extremely unbelievable.

There is nothing unbelievable about a second generation. It wasnt claiming 400 turbo hp, it's just claiming that a second generation will exist.

I'll make you a deal! We meet back here in three years and one of us can say "I told you so" to the other with total impunity.

might as well save some cash and get the corolla.

Visually, they are damn near impossible to differentiate.

I guess the wrx has a hood scoop.

Spring a couple extra bucks and you'll get a free kitchen table attached to your truck.

Just got back from a soak with Mr. Tada. He told me again that the next-gen FR-S will be a re-badged Lexus LFA. He would not tell me how they are going to shave 270K off the price of an LFA, though.

Odd how that sort of thing can even elect a coprolite to the office of Prez in this country.
