once again it's hard to understand why manufacturers even bother with concept vehicles when the production models end up looking nothing like them or so watered down they a complete disappointment.

I want to see an automaker have some ball bearings and produce the concept for once. Will it ever happen? Which manufacturer would it be?!

it looks ok. not earth shattering by no means. I almost pulled a trigger on 2011 STI. I didn't love it. i think the ride was not as exciting as i imagined.

I think that the current is pretty boring. They made it look better, but not great. So for me this is an improvement. And the fact that it has a DI 2.0L turbo and a 6MT (finally) it will be my next car. I drive 21,000 miles a year, so this is certainly more efficient than my Legacy is. ...yes, I could just get a Prius, but if I'm going to spend all day in the car, I'm going to enjoy it.

Those wheels really need to go though. They are awful to look at.

Thanks for the Clip Hoovey. If that doesn't tempt me into the already tempted WRX...I don't know what will
