Anyone see the "Wheeler Dealers" episode last week with the Subaru WRX?

Made me want to trade my '98 328i for one

Look what I saw last week, looks amazing in person, much better than what I got to see at the Chicago auto show.

congrats, bro...I'd trade in my 2010 TL SH-AWD for a 2012 STI (there's still 5 for sale in my area) in a second if the TL was paid for...

Wow! What was the strategy? What was the sticker price on it and how much did you end up paying? Maybe I want it too.

That is a great price, I guess that is because it is a 2011, but its new. You might notice a bit less of the luxury feel, but you will love the rumble and pull of that little bitch.

You forget about Acura luxury when your boring drive becomes the most exciting part of your day...everyday.

I made her drive mine home one night from a few miles away and it was nothing short of terrifying.
