another nice car -- Impreza WRX

dang, car makers keep on making good cars, just read about the new Impreza WRX, for less than 24k, you get a 227hp four wheel drivers, 6-cd, etc and mostly, 0-60 in 6 sec flat... oh and nice standard spoiler fenders... well, it doesn't have all the luxury features tho, probably that is why it is cheap... check it out at:

last, but not least, i still love my type-s the most!!!!!!

I've always liked SUBARU, and they are also doing pretty good in the Asia market.
darn popular in Taiwan and Japan, nice engine and all. especially the AWD thing.

but, only if they can get a new designer......

actually the Impreza looks "okay" with me.

So far four door dings, two on each side, DVD Navigation System Unit replaced, Both Driver and Passenger side seat back fell off, Metal piece inside of the wiper came out, planning to replace both wipers and wind shield next week.

my housemate just came back from taiwan, he told me there is also a Impreza STI, which has more horses, more rally like, and 0-60 was on the par with a m3... he was willing get the STI instead of m3... wondering when the STI version will come into the states if it ever will. The price will be bit over 30k.

Where's the WRX COUPE?! I wish more manufacturers would make sporty cars with 2 doors instead of 4. I just can't get comfortable driving a car with two doors I'll never use. I've always been a big fan of coupes and it doesn't look like the manufacturers agree with me.

BUT, if they bring a coupe version of the WRX over here, maybe it'll be my work car!

Well I admit that I am greedy, but 227hp is not impressive enough with that look, Subaru should come out a STI version of WRX later.
