So the subie makes for a crap load of fun where most highways speed limit is 50 and most streets are 25 and 30mph.

I work in White Plains. I just found it laughable people making fun of the Mustang and Corvette for being common, yet I see as many Impreza's as I do with Mustangs and Corvettes. Weird..

Also I hope the new WRX is really a lot faster (not just in a straightline) all around because every heavily modded WRX I have seen have had their a$$'es kicked by lightly modded or stock STIs. (Mostly at autox as I usually only see STIs at the track). It's really quite sad given the hype they get.

I like the STI and everything, but buying that car at sticker or even invoice seems pretty crazy to me. It starts at 34 or 35K if I recall correctly?!? (My friend did buy an 09 brand new in 2009 for 29K!!!).
