They are not rice, the wing is a little overdone but if you really see whats in them, even above the regular WRX the Sti is as much of a driving machine than a 5th gen,....... maybe even more as far as a drivers car. I pushed my STi closer to the edge and did far more radical driving than the 5th gen is capable of.

I was with you until the last line. The 5th gen is an incredibly capable automobile.
