about a month ago i told you guys my rx took a poop. so i put it up for sale at an aution. my rx sold at auction in as is conditon with the broken trans for about 3.5k. as i miss it, i finally got my baby and it is amazing what this car is capable of. it has way more features than the lexus ever had and while the ride isn't as comfortable it is still damn nice. i will never forget my first car though we had a lot of good and bad times but now its time for a new woman in my life!

2011 sti sedan. i do need a nickname for her though, any ideas?

Congrats on the new ride. Your situation with the RX was truly sad and the fact you're still lurking shows your a Lexus guy at heart...you'll be back!

If your not in a hurry to buy another one right away... you can sit and wait and pick and choose while they pop up for sale... you will prolly end up with a nice one for a great price... especially since youve been a owner before you will know the things to look for... maybe youll be back... in a 330,350 etc...

Congrats !! Two totally different vehicles and a silly questions comes to my mind .. how do they compare on gas ?

so far the sti is similar to the lexus. but as i drive it more the mpg's go up since its still breaking in. i've been babying her around town and i can easily pull 20mpg if i don't boost. i'll let you know once i get on it though...then i'm sure my mpg's will be single digits.

I love the looks and performance of the turbo subaru's, but I would hate to have to pay for premium gas. Especially with regular gas prices going to be close to the $4 gal this summer, premium will be over $4 gal I don't see how all these kids nowadays can afford it, I guess rich parents spoiling them.
