For those not "feeling" the hatch...

steiner · 11-18-2007, 12:53 PM

You'll never see Ferrari, Aston Martin or Lamborghini release a hatch. No doubt about that. But you'll also never see any of those companies supporting a WRC team. For my money it's the most brutal and most entertaining form of racing on the planet. What other form of autosport can safely anticipate snow, mud, tarmac, ice and rain each and every season? How about those drives down public roads in order to make it to the next stage...and the penalties for disobeying posted speed limits? What about the concept of a driver and a co-driver...and those times where both are needed to flip a car or wrench on the engine mid-stage. Last but not least, what about the fuggin fans?!?! Does any other form of autosport get the fans as close to the action? If you're not a fan of WRC then you'll probably never love a hatch. But if you enjoy the WRC but aren't quite feeling the concept of a hatch maybe I can change your mind. Check out this website and all the free downloads. And before anybody blows a fuse for sharing this link, I'm a contributor! Enjoy...

coming from someone who just sold his 2005 STi (car in my sig), i love the way the 2008 STi looks and i can't wait for the dealer to call my phone and say "your car is here".

Would you have said that about Porsche 5 years ago about not releasing a hatch??

I could have put Porsche in that list right now. Their traditional Carrera design may resemble a hatch but it really isn't.

But the Cayman is...

Thanks man. To be honest I'm still mid way through the 2006 season. I wonder what happened to the website.

I don't see Subaru running around the American Le Mans series, Grand Am series or regular Le Mans for that matter.

I fail to see the connection your trying to make.

IUSTi · 11-22-2007, 09:29 AM

I thikn some people would have liked to have seen subaru do the sedan version and the hatch version into an sti.

WRXTek · 11-22-2007, 09:32 AM

Subaru had some backing of a team in the 24h of Nürburgring, a pretty well known race. Chris Atkinson, as you know a SWRT driver, was one of the co drivers.
