Do the wrx's and sti's share the same body shape (apart from the spoiler)?
I saw a blue wrx on the Graham Farmer this morning and it looked really really nice but I can't recall the sti looking as nice as this rex looked. And yes, it was definitely the new rex that i saw this morning.

Comestically they are identical minus the wing and wheels. They now share the same ride height. 4.9 inch I think it was which is lower than all previous WRX and STI.

Perhaps it was the low lying spoiler which made it look really slick

I *think* the STI has pumped guards, where as the WRX has flat guards, same error they made with the 08 model of WRX...

They share the same body.

I believe the wing is optional.

Not really sure if you've mentioned previous preferences but all i saw was around 90k and brand new.

Lotus elise S
BMW M235

if you considered second hand, theres nice porsche 911's or mint M3's

If i had 90k to spend on a car the GTS wouldn't be high on my list.

I would, shows you haven't been near the new one let alone in one

I would even pay the $102,271 that a manual one is, given what the new GTS has i think it is a performance bargain!

Whether it's a good car or not has no bearing on whether some one may not want to own one. I think a 35R is an epic car but I'd never own one.

Just dropped in to Subaru Melville and salivated over the new STI in the showroom. Photos really don't do justice to this car. So high on the want list.

What colour was it?
I've seen a red and a blue one but was not that impressed.
I want white but have not seen one in the flesh.
