I like subaru's overall. Impreza's are starting to get too play'd out though. The STi is hot looking, but not my cup O tea.
I am waiting to see pricing and availability of the new Legacy's... to me they are far more stylish than the stubby STi, and they come with nice features which the STi doesnt have inside the cabin.
the Forester XT is also very nice... lotsa power in it.
But in the end I will more than likely buy a Mini CooperS since they handle better than any Subaru
(my Impreza was a pig... heavy, and took WAY too much money to get it competative at an AutoX level) The Cooper is a GoKart with a roof, and has some nice pep to it for power/weight ratio. I crave power for pulling out of turns, and high power brakes, and quick ratio steering racks.
(top speed and 1/4 mile times dont matter to me. 1. I never run at top speed of a car.. who needs to drive 140mph on city streets?, 2. who cares how fast your car can go .25 miles... tell me how fast it can go around a 4 mile road course, and how good of a driver you are. 1/4mile times are just another way for dudes to measure their dicks it seems... although length seems to be inverse to thier speed, its all about the insecurity hehe
hehehe j/k)
