Yo Spyboy,
where are the official specs :dunno: I want to know how fast that baby will be, and if it really comes with the serious brakes, etc. Should I get one?

Rob

not sure on the official specs...but like i said it suppose to be exactly the same as the austrialian STi.....the only thing that is different about the new STi's is the whole front end...and the tail lights

Some numbers from the Subaru Australia site:

Audi S4 = $109 320 AUD
BMW M3 = $141 000 AUD
WRX STi = $55 130 AUD

Prices for the S4 and M3 here in Canada:
S4 = $57 200
M3 = $73 500

And using some math, the price for the STi works out to be $28 792. :dunno:

But the difference in the price of the WRX and the STi is $7100.:dunno: :dunno:

Horizontally opposed, yes. Porsche, no.

The headlights look way better than the current setup. And that big ass hood scope looks sick.

I think what they are aiming for is another manufacturer that is selling a Rally/WRC packaged car. They could have listed the EvoVII too, but its not really aimed at selling WRC fan base.

I think you mean 'boxer' motor. horizontally opposed motors are refered to as boxer motors so yes it does have a boxer motor, but it is not from the Boxter.

I think the hood scoop is a bit to much, just when I was starting to like the new headlights they change them!!:(

I don't think Subaru has any 2 door Impreza's for this current gen.

That's just ridiculous....you should be able to choose.
I'd take a 2 door WRX forsure....but as soon as I get into the 4 doors....I dunno.

doubt that'll ever happen...i think subaru is targetting a specific market...same goes for lancers....IMHO I love 4 doors...so convient!!!!! I remember having my 2.5 RS coupe..such a PIA!:thumbsdow

Oh I understand the practicality of having 4 doors, but for those of us who don't even need a back seat, they should offer a 2 door version....plus it would be a hell of a lot lighter!

but like i said...i think their aiming towards a specific audience....Plus it makes the car look more of a sleeper than anything especially the wagon! "Oh it's just a 4 door...it's probably slow...."
