I don't want it to be MY car.

I wanted a car that's more like s2k but new.

Think my wife will like this M3.

I'm 100% sure that I can't track the car like how I'm right now if I had bought a M3. High mileage + maintenance on tracking on the M3 is like +10 times more expensive than it is for BRZ.

You can track the M3 just fine, Kimchi.

And be a man. Do the right thing. Be a man.

I'm still trying to figure out how Yummy's got time to be on the Internet and not in the kitchen making dinner for his husband.

There's nothing wrong with you wanting a Beetle convertible Yummy. It's just not practical in Saskatoon.

^^ If they could just take that body off, throw it in the bin, and put on the 2005 body that'd be great.

I like the front end. It's just that the rear looks like a Civic. The important details of the interior are all there - steering wheel, gauges, pedals and shifter are nice. But the interior hardly looks changed. Very dated looking already, and I usually don't complain about interiors.

The WRX now has a 6MT too. In any case, it still looks better than the outgoing model.

Agreed.

I'm so happy that they trashed the 5MT and put the real 6MT on this car. The performance numbers are pretty close to the current Evo X.

There's no doubt the car is fast as hell.

I remember the last generation with very few mods was quicker than the STi.

Beating a dead horse, but I have to repost this again. I think I'd be less disappointed with the WRX had I not known what the concept looked like. I knew production wasn't going to look like that, but it's a far cry from what could have been.

As Subaru's halo car, it is an odd design choice.
