WRX

[tristanpop at netscape.net]

interesting the gripes with the Subaru brand.  Subaru reportedly has the highest brand loyalty of any marque, higher than Audi.  The WRX is build for rallying, so strength is a major factor considered during construction.  I believe EVO magazine also named the WRX (maybe STi?) "car of the decade".  High honors.  Thin paint may be an issue, but I don't see anyone else taking the risk of making/selling this car for US market.  Even if the EVO comes, Subaru took the risk first.  A huge risk, one that involves carefully considering the cost of manufacture, and the MSRP to use.  I take thin paint any day of the week for a car that does what MINE does.  I have owned and driven A4 1.8T, S4 twin turbo, and WRX and driven all on and off tracks and hereby testify:  the ability of the WRX and the driving sensation is superior to the Audi cars, and any disagreement is lack of information.
(i'll take my blue alcantara seats in the S4 right now!!! I MISS THEM!!)
my two cents,
