This car wouldn't even be worth while without the higher performance version...now they are praising a special model that should have originated with the turbo boxer in the first place....

Meh, put the 2.8L turbo that is going into the SRX into the ATS coupe and the Caddy will kick its @ss.

On topic; looks like a good ride in the same price range as the Evo. 'Course, if I wanted a sports coupe I'd get a Z28.
Wow I mention one thing about not knowing how to convert and this starts popping up? Did the mathletes all randomly show up? But I guess by more efficient you mean more popular, but anyways... Can't wait to see 1/4 and track times, and wondering if this will upset the Evo X.

Didn't mean to bash. It's just that saying 171cm is more accurate than saying five in a half-ish. Don't take too much offense to that.

I was referring to the STi. It looks a good deal like that Ferrari.

I'm kind of agitated that this will be AWD, I thought the purpose of this car was to be a little RWD coupe?

Buy the Toyota.


Did you REALLY think Subaru was going to build this car w.o AWD? This car could end up being the hardcore performance car that the 2008 STi GR never was.

Why did you faceslap me? The ATS coupe with the Turbo 2.8L and a sport suspension would destroy the Toyobaru!
