Looks pretty tame - But like i said in another thread .. I reckon this is happening cause of the WRC. Look at the top players, Gronholm, Loeb .. Hirvonnen ..

They are all leading the tables with essentially hot hatches ..

Citroen C4
Ford Focus

And the other randoms ..

XR5 T
MPS-3

Subi are following suit it would seem ..

oh good god no!

looks like illl be crossing over to the dark side guys...EVO X

Would this have any effect on market prices of WRx's then?

Thats inteesting, because Mitsubishi are supposedly bringing out an EVO type performance car thats sort of in line with the WRX..? I'm sure that I read that here, or was it Rexnet...hmmmm can't quite remember.

Why get rid of the WRX? It's such a great selling car especially in OZ.

They probably know that if they base the new WRX on that car that it wont sell! They had better pull their finger out with this new STI! :confused:

Rex thats the word, always has been. They are tools to get rid of it.
Still it's not confirmed.

WRX and STi go together!

WRX prices will go up. What an investment! BUY BUY BUY!
