wow. so between the GC and GH/GR the impreza gained around 500lbs? i know rigidity and crash safety are important but darnit, nothing's under 3000lbs anymore. really hope they can keep the weight of the FT-86 low.

I has

for Subaru.

Now, we're talking. Hey if you don't like the looks of 22B? Sure, that's your opinion, so can't flame you on that one and I'll respect your opinion.

Yeah, about 500lbs. Also 22B was 80mm wider (3.15") than regular GC (67.1"). Current STI's width is 70.7 (iirc). 22B was 70.25". Even other previous STI was only 68.5" in width, so that shows 22B was hella widen. Not only they widen the fenders, but they also widen the wheels too. Instead to 16x7, they've put 17x8.5 w 235/40/17.

Only downside to 22B (IMO) is the redline. Other JDM GC STi's redline was 8k-ish, but 22B were 7k. Most Subie fan believe that's why 2.5L STI's redline is 6k. 2L = 8k, 2.2L = 7k, 2.5L = 6k

I'm getting pretty anxious about the Subaru version. I'm starting to get a bad, bad, feeling that in North America the Scion rumour is going to be true.

Subaru will hopefully be my out, hell it'll go with the Legacy.

Hell, I have been thinking of getting the scooby version anyway. Unless it lacks something the Yota has that i deem important enough.

2012 Side Impact and other Safety requirements are going into effect. The Mazda3 gained 300lbs in the last refresh.

It's ridiculous. Cars that were moderately lightweight, mid 2000lb region, are now over 3000lbs and growing!

You know what would be better? Instead of beefing up passenger cars, make them all with a full roll cage inside

seriously tho it's the impacts with SUVs that's the problem since their chassis is v high
