Im not liking that car at all, if I bought a car like that my friends would make fun of me because its like a little toy car. I like my is250 because its sporty and its got class. Only cars I would trade mine in for is the ISF or if an lexus made the IS350 in a manual transmission or maybe even a Infiniti g37 coupe, never a subaru.

Performance sounds great, but man does that car look ugly, inside and out. Pass!

I wouldn't trade it. Would definitely consider getting an STI for a fun car, def not something road legal. Probably gut interior, put a roll cage in, wide body kit, full straight back exhaust, turbo upgrade, rip the AC out, change the windows to lexan, and remove all sound deadening material as well as change as many panels to lightweight panels and I'd have myself a fun STI I would keep next to the IS.
Wouldn't trade the IS for a STI though.

Would much rather get the 370z nismo. I would still have to take the wing off that though

Okay...I've taken some serious thought here.

I'll take it but ONLY if it's painted fluorescent metallic pink and electric gatorade green with bright purple accents. And I get to be in one of the new Fast and Furious movies.

Not to mention, I've grown tired of droning, buzzy, noisy 4-bangers.

I never understood why Subaru can not make a nicer looking car. Is it really that difficult to do? The performance side of the WRX Sti is great. Why not make the car look nicer?
