My dream = crushed.

If Jeep offers a manual transmission with that diesel engine and 4WD, I will at least go in and test drive it.... So I can say I drove a diesel 4wd manual transmission car in the U.S.

I wonder if RyanAir will be looking back in history at very convenient means of transporting large amounts of people for this $10 transatlantic flight. I bet there will be racks and shackles.

Yeah for the best deal on a Subie for Rallycross, you're better off looking for either a 90s Legacy or a Outback Sport since it's derived from the Impreza.

After I bought my 2011 WRX 5dr, I really wanted to pick up a cheap Impreza 2.5RS for a dedicated rallycross set up and I couldn't find one that was cheap enough.

Well said. I'd be happy with a stock K24 in it. Would I buy one new one if they did it? Probably not but I would entertain the idea of buying a used one as a daily commuter.

Yes! I generally like the C3 the least, however I'm willing to make an exception for a black 69 427 Stingray.

It's called snow....

EDITED:

Agreed. At $24,455 it's worth it IMO. But at the as tested price, I paid the same for my WRX Premium 5dr.

Well if BMW prices the i8 lower than the XL1, it'll look like the bargain of the century...

I'm pray every night that Subaru brings this state side. If they did, I would trade in my 2011 WRX Premium 5dr for it in a heartbeat. Not holding my breath though, but the Legacy GT Wagon was offerred before so maybe they'll do it once again.

I'd get another Subaru if I can see that some quality issues are improved.…

I just wish the Golf R actually had a real performance AWD drive train in it. If it had a system like the STI (or even the closed differentials of the WRX) or EVO instead of the demand based FWD biased Haldex system, It would 100% IMO be worth the price.

Agreed, on Saturday there was the Woodward Dream Cruise, a Tiger's game and the Kenny Chesney concert. Downtown Detroit was already packed enough and adding the congestion of the Dream Cruise would have just made it impossible to get anywhere if not on foot in Detroit.

Actually, the Mercury Mariner wasn't that bad for essentially being a re-badged Ford Escape. I had one as a rental and it was actually pretty nice. I would consider buying a used one if I needed just a plain daily driver if I could find one cheap enough.

I had a guy try and race me in my '11 WRX in an Abarth SS at a stop light. It launches off the line surprisingly quick, whereas my turbo lag hesitates, for about one second until the power kicks in and then from there I just left him behind.

An 05 or 06 GTO is definitely on my short list for my 2nd car as soon as my Rex is paid off in a few years. I've been monitoring prices of a relatively low mileage (under 30k miles) LS2 GTOs ever since the car came out and I've been finding clean examples of 05s sitting around 16-17k. Based on the prices gradually…

No I'm comparing it because it's the only other car in its class that's even fair to compare to. Anyone with enough common sense would agree with me. Which is everyone here except for you.

I think we should continue. I'm just getting started....

The only car you can compare a WRX or an STI to is an Mitsubishi EVO GSR or MR. That's the only car that is a fair comparison.

Ok. So you compared one RWD V8 sportscar, one RWD V6 Mustang, to a turbo charged 4cyl AWD sport sub-compact car?????
