Subaru = cheap and nasty these days
One of the guys from work ordered an XR5 12 months ago. Was promised a 6 week wait. Canceled the order after 6 months very very pissed off after every excuse under the sun.

All very well a better option being available but you do still need to be able to take delivery of one.

Just remember Chee you have to hand your BALLS into the sales guy when you buy the MY08 WRX.
I've heard they give you free pastel shaded floor mats as an exchange!!!

If the XR5 was AWD, then I'd consider it but then the price would be probably $10K more. The Honda Type R is also FWD, and only makes about the same power as my Sportivo.

I don't think some of you appreciate your AWD enough

I don't mind the looks of the new WRX, like someone else said it needs rims and lowering but most cars do from the factory. It's not the best, but it's the best package available for me (hatch/reasonable performance/AWD or RWD).

Default More A Gt Than An Animal

i HAVE HAD THE NEW WRX AS A LOANER FOR 3DAYS AND i MUST SAY THAT
IT IS MORE A GT THAN AN ANIMAL. A CURRENT M3 COULDNT KEEP WITH ME IN SOME TWISTY STUFF IN THE WET. iTS REFINED AND GOES WELL. SO IF YOUR AFTER A NICE CRUISER THAT WILL EAT MOST THINGS IN THE TWISTY STUFF BUY ONE. BUT IF YOUR AFTER A BRUISER WAIT FOR THE STI ITS GONNER ROCK.

There is a Black 08 WRX kicking around Wanneroo driven by a older dude. Stock as a rock still.

on the way to Curtin in Bentley i saw a MY08. it was a disappointment. no scoops or anything but still look ugly anyway. no offence to the bug eye cruisers out there, but i would rather get a bug eye than the MY08.

Saw a red MY08 WRX on the road in Nedlands (near UWA)- liked the bonnet scoop, but that's about it. Admitedly, looks better in the metal, but for that kind of money, would rather get a piggy or even a peanut.

No scoops? Sure you were looking at a WRX...?

Flame away, couldnt give a shit. Much love from me for the 08. I see the potential.

The doors and trim itself i find up to date with all other cars. Subaru has been making awesome buckets for so long why bother putting recaro's in. Its just ford's to cheap to make there own.

ANYWAYS when a new 08 sti comes out with a few k's on it im going to snap one up. You can count on that.
