I agree, I am not a fan of the new white, I prefer the old white so much more. Sucks too because I really want a white car

If I didn't have a little girl on the way I'd be REEEEEEALLY tempted to hit **** up for an STI.

Wait a second...why the heck does the WRX have a bigger turbo?! Shouldn't they have just thrown the VF48 into the 09 WRX to run through the stockpile and put the new bigger turbo in the STi to continue it's advantage?

I mean kudos to Subaru for improving the WRX to where it should've been at in 2008 but damn that makes it harder to really want the STi.

here's something my two friends are telling me is different about my 09 (no idea about the 08)

in first gear, after i get a good roll, i can completely let go of all pedals. They said that their cars will slow down and the car will shake pretty bad but we went around the parking lot in first with my feet lifted up.

I'd find a used 05-07 STi and redo the suspension for that price. The 08/09 STi are ugly!
