disapointed
Well, I thought I'd lay out some frustrations don on the table and see what you guys might think. I sold my rex last year with plans on getting an STi, but put things on hold when I heard about the hatch. Today I went and looked at the '08 wrx hatch and sedan and to be honest, I'm very displeased. I think the exhaust did it for me, It's a mess down there! not to mention the "plastic" intake manifold bleh! The more and more I look at my current situation I think to myself, do i proceed in doing the subaru thing again, or go another route, I have been looking at DeLoreans lately. and as far as my "fast" goes, I bought a motorcycle in november to keep me from running my truck into the ground, anyways, thought I would share.

^^ Nice Francis! :P Adding to the topic, the wife and I just got a LGT from servco and I was looking at the new WRXs and I think they are gonna have to find a new base of people to buy these things cause they just look horrible. The sedan isnt too bad, but the hatch just looks like a Mazda 3 with a Saab hood scoop. Just my $.02 though.

Never had a chance to see the new 08's.
I hear they did away with the coolant temperature gauge? Only has a warm up light?
I believe the Scion xB (not sure about the xA or tC) has this type of setup. Start car, wait until light goes out, then drive.

I, too, was disappointed after seeing the pix and reading the reviews, but after seeing the WRC concept I think the STI hatch has potential. I've always loved the Pugeot 206 WRC cars wing and now that's an option. As for stock though,
