twin turbo awd would crap all over one.

Its been available in the US for a few months. Havent read much about it, but i cant imagine the AWD would be set up very well for performance capabilities for the exact reason that it would put serious competition to the M3. Would be an interesting modifying platform though..

this doesnt look too bad and would look even better with the wide guards of the sti

though the sti isnt coming in sedan is it??

Neg Bro!...

STi is Only Hatchback at this stage...

That sedan does look half decent tho with "Jimmy-Spec" wheels and carbon bonnet and some decent lowerage...

Agree, but I can see someone like BMW doing a half arsed job off it. I for one wont be happy paying a sticker of 150k and ending up with a half arsed semi AWD system.

There's quite a few awd variants for bmer's , merc's etc, mainly due to the winter conditions, i.e. snow. The systems are built for stability and grip not outlandish performance.
