I do too. Next car to get for me.....from ****, this time around. (elbows, elbows)
From what the press conferences showed, it's the fastest Subaru has ever built according to Tommi Makinen's drive on the Nurburgring. The engine is the same as the previous model but the suspension, wheels, tires, and don't forget the iconic wing helps handling and lowers drag coefficiency respectively over the hatch. Not that we'll see the results in Hawaii on top speed but overall, it catches my heart.

For some reason the side profile shot reminds me of a EVO X and Sentra. Like the two had a baby and out popped this. No bad though it will probably grow on me like all the other years.

Loving it only because the suspension setup has gotten better due to pillow ball bushing or rubber ball joint. The rear setup also improved is the L shape control arm and bushing ball joint. I heard that the 2011 WRX has gotten the fender flares back on not like the 2009-2010 models. To me, thats very critical IMO.

I was there buying a crappy Yaris.
I have a movie clip of the exhaust, but it didn't record well.
It sounds like it has a catback on it already. They did something to the exhaust, and it's definitely NOT silent.
