Saw a new hatchback sti yesterday, and it inspired me to go onto the Subaru website to find out more.

Whilst I was on there I checked out the new WRX too.

Suprised to find that even though it has more bhp than my 06 wrx, it is a lot slower to 60 at 6.5secs, thats CTR speed
So not only does the new wrx look ugly, but you cant even say the performance makes up for it. Why did Subaru do this

There is alot of things i ask myslef why did subaru do it....

Like not making a strong bottom end and using plastic drop links etc. Let alone the new car.

Originally the UK was never ever getting a "WRX turbo" 08 car. UK was going to get the first "WRX" Diesel version sometime later this year. but apparently Dealers demanded a WRX.......and thats what you got.

Sometime soon Subaru were to unvail 2 special editions,(CA & TA??) 360 & 400bhp versions but been a bit quiet, for east, east Europe and Austrailers

Many reckon the UK/EU will have a "PPP" choice stage 1 or stage 2. And will be closer to 350 & 380bhp. Personally I think for UK it will be simular to "WR1's" etc and maybe choose either Peter 1 or Finland 1 or UK1 or whatever

IMHO

I'm chomping at the bit for the PPP on the 08 STI - absolutely dont need it but I soo want it

Kinda agree on the WRX though, think it lost a bit of its appeal when they didn't put the bigger arches on it from the STI shell.

HOWY

Speaking as someone who has a new WRX and had a MY05 WRX I would say the new one is better even though on paper it might be .5 sec slower you don't notice it but you do notice it when cruising at high speeds it feels better than the MY05 and as I have said before i don't know of many cars that compare for the money especially when you consider it has 4wd. Its looks especially the front have grown on me
