By the way, 6th pic from the left on the top row of pics...is that an Impreza Wagon?]]>Oct 24th 2007 2:55AMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2007/10/24/tokyo-motor-show-subaru-wrx-sti-debut/http://www.autoblog.com/2007/10/24/tokyo-motor-show-subaru-wrx-sti-debut/

I hope they bring all this to the US Version - with the 2.5 litre

It'll be a miracle if its under $40k.

Where do I sign up?

The old car did make a bold statement but it wasn't attractive enough. This car is more conservative and I think will attract more buyers to it. Even the regular WRX is attractive. I'd rather this though, wouldnt you?]]>Oct 24th 2007 8:20AMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2007/10/24/tokyo-motor-show-subaru-wrx-sti-debut/http://www.autoblog.com/2007/10/24/tokyo-motor-show-subaru-wrx-sti-debut/Oct 24th 2007 8:35AMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2007/10/24/tokyo-motor-show-subaru-wrx-sti-debut/http://www.autoblog.com/2007/10/24/tokyo-motor-show-subaru-wrx-sti-debut/
Went back yesterday for another test drive. The guy in my Northern California Subaru dealer said they weren't selling. I'd be surprised if they sell a single sedan. Most of the ones on the lot were at least $27k. That back end just doesn't look like a $25k car - looks like a Focus.

I can't see this Impreza redesign lasting too long. I hope Subaru doesn't feel too much pain from this one but they need to get their game on if they want to compete.]]>Oct 24th 2007 2:42PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2007/10/24/tokyo-motor-show-subaru-wrx-sti-debut/http://www.autoblog.com/2007/10/24/tokyo-motor-show-subaru-wrx-sti-debut/Oct 24th 2007 8:53AMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2007/10/24/tokyo-motor-show-subaru-wrx-sti-debut/http://www.autoblog.com/2007/10/24/tokyo-motor-show-subaru-wrx-sti-debut/Oct 24th 2007 8:59AMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2007/10/24/tokyo-motor-show-subaru-wrx-sti-debut/http://www.autoblog.com/2007/10/24/tokyo-motor-show-subaru-wrx-sti-debut/Oct 24th 2007 9:35AMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2007/10/24/tokyo-motor-show-subaru-wrx-sti-debut/http://www.autoblog.com/2007/10/24/tokyo-motor-show-subaru-wrx-sti-debut/
They are not the same in terms of interior comfort, but for being a blast to drive, handling well and delivering a lot for the $, Subaru is a pretty good car.

When you add my and my friends combined experience with BMW's love (heck, addiction) to the repair shop, Subaru wins, hands down.

I'll be out eating M3s for lunch in my STi come April 2008!]]>Oct 24th 2007 10:25AMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2007/10/24/tokyo-motor-show-subaru-wrx-sti-debut/http://www.autoblog.com/2007/10/24/tokyo-motor-show-subaru-wrx-sti-debut/Oct 24th 2007 5:06PM
