Maybe its just me, but I think the current WRX looks better than the new one.

 

there is its called the sport 20 and its only sold in japan

 

Screw WRX,.. I'd take a Mitsubishi Evo VII anyday. Makes the wrx look like a POS.

to me, the WRX's are ugly, but Evo's are much nicer.

However I agree, if Mazda took care of the handling and exterior and interior, and Subaru took care of the cupholders, and the other stuff, it'd be a great car

Then again the car would cost a lot just like any car that looks good and is fast, so why don't you guys just buy an Rx-8, Mazdaspeed Protege or a 350Z? Or an Evo hehe

 

You mean "The Brat" returns!

Original "Brat"


Updated 2003 "Brat"

 

Synical??!!!??!!

 

oh god! that's sounds like some sick n twisted combination of bad batz maru, mashi maru, n some other so cute you'll throw up japanese cartoon! hahahahha! I can SO picture some weird character!

 

Athough I like the looks of the Evo better the WRX sti runs right along side the evo in every way.

Also as for hadleing I leave dealing with the suburus weight for handling to STI. They make some insane parts. My friends former Suby destroys my MP3 in handling. He put on an entire STI system though.

I do wish Mazda would make a return to the awd market though. FOr a finaical stand point, to put it on one car is not feasable but if they could adapt the system to go on a protege and handle, say the tribute then they might be able to make it fly. An AWD MPV would be nice again too.

Wasn't the 323 GTX the first japanese car with alwheel drive and turbo power. I though Mazda basicly invented this combo in Japan. They don't need Suby and suby doesn't need them.
