I'm going to have to agree with Rev on this one, I don't think that look will ever grow on me.

i really don't know, but the add says 280hp and i know that it has more hp. the engine is a 2.0lt, just remember that japan didn't come out with the 2.5lt STI motor in the Imprezas. Japanese law requires that a car made out of the factory has to be 280hp. The R34 GTR is rated by japanese law at 280hp.... but really the car has about 310hp stock from the factory.

can you please take pictures of the WRX and maybe take it for a test drive. there are major changes on the WRX, everyone wants to know if the new transmission feels better.
