Default 06 STi spotted in Ontario!

Almost crapped in my pants...here is how it happened:

After a long day of golf and dinner at Bigwin Island in the Muskoka Ontario region last Friday, myself and 3 other collegues headed home to Toronto. We left the golf course at around 8:30pm and headed south on Hwy 117.

The first 06 STi was headed in the opposite direction and at first I did not notice it until it was directly in front of me in the opposite lane. It was gray...not sure if it was Crystal Grey as it looked darker than that and the diminishing daylight did not help. Wow, I kinda like the front end...definitely looks a lot more aggressive than my 05 STi.

The second 06 STi was spotted about 5 mins later on the same highway headed in the same direction as the first. This one was Rally Blue.

In both cases it happened so fast but the new frontend definitely grabbed my attention. Could not see the new wing above the back window as it was getting dark. I should have turned around and chased them down but I was driving my MDX and we were all tired.

I must guess that they are press cars from Subaru Canada??

Ok, I thought i was out of my mind.... I saw a WRB 06 STI going Easbound on the 407 last week. It looked great for the breif few seconds i saw it.

Yeah while going 120kmph on the 407 i'll grab my camera and snap a shot of the car going the other way at the same speed for a closing rate of 240kmph lol.... it wasn't long enough, but it was a 2006.
