Honestly, I'd get the new WRXs now that it has the same wide body style and bumpers as the STI. Power-wise probably not a whole lot of difference, and it's about $8K less than the STI! Use that money for the perfect suspension setup, exhaust, tune, wheels/tires, etc.

I would still get the STI. As I mentioned in a previous post

and I am sure I am missing a few more things
on top of that it seems the 2011 STI suspension is top notch compared to other years. as far as the perfect suspension, I would say it would be a total waste if that person was not using it for what it is meant for. so i would still stick with stocker till the need arose to upgrade.

This is the way I see it: if you can afford the STI, then get the STI.

But if you can't afford an STI, then it's really not a bad compromise to "settle" for the WRX.

But if price isn't a factor and you're comparing the two, the STI is a no brainer.

I can concur with that.

I`m not too excited about the wing, but I think it looks a lot better than the Evo X`s. Loving the overall look however.

I am amazed to see the WRX and STi look exactly the same body wise...
Without badge you can't tell who's who.

What do you think about it? I actually don't mind them both being the same

They were basically the same from 93-07 anyways now there going back to there roots only the 08-10 were there big body differences between the wrx & Sti.

Actually I don't mind either, especially if you want to buy that car just for the look

That's a good thing. Less exterior parts swapping if need be.

But for early 93-96's L's and base models, the classic WRX/STi full body conversion parts can cost about $500+ average, not including matching paint.

I'm definitely getting this model. House first though...
