Alright, just wanted to be sure. I thought most of those particular features other than the door skin material were enhancements only offered on the STI.

However, in any case I'd only ever be interested in another STI, so that is what I'm more interested in seeing compared to my '06

. Even if the WRX is cheaper on the interior, Subaru has shown already that the STI will have significant enhancements.

30 Grand is wayyy to much for a WRX. Didn't the current WRX lineup top out below 30K? The WRX Limited was around $28K? And that had leather. (But no navi)

I'm wondering what the cost of the upcoming STI hatch will be. If it hits near $40 grand, that'll put it in competition with the Corvette and perhaps cheap 335i? I dunno how much a 335 costs.. .OK how about an upcoming 135.

I was at my dealer this weekend. They just got in a blue 08 wrx sedan. They are even more worse in person. This particular model didn't have the nav. and they still wanted $27k for it. To me they look even more cheap then ever and the sedan totally looks like a Corolla. For example in the rear deck they used a cheap shiny plastic instead of a carpeted panel. Just little details like that bug me. One thing I did notice was it was a lot wider. To me, whatever. I still don't understand the dual exhaust. So gay looking. I took a look under the car and there is a single mid pipe that branched into dual with gobs of welds. Soooo cheap. The hood scoop is ginormous! Subaru is totally trying make a statement with that thing. They did have a Outback 5door that looked a hell of a lot better then all the others. Not sure what it was.

So I was talking with one of the sales guys and he was saying that they have only sold one 08 impreza since they have been released and that customers have shown NO interest in them. He thinks SOA will restyle it in the next 2 years. They look so dorky and I believe they made a huge mistake! Get back to the drawing board.

As for a daily driver I would go for the Forester Sports XT. I am really digging those.
