I never got the backlash against the reintroduction of an automatic WRX. It came with an auto for 14 years... they stop it for 4 years or so and suddenly Subaru is ruining the car by offering it again? Puleeze. Tell me all about how much more bad ass the car was because someone you don't know couldn't buy it with an auto for while.

Didn't they have a WRX called the Impreza GT, as auto only? 224hp when the normal 5mt had 265?

Yeah that was when the "true" WRX was "manual only".

I remember the A-Line. Don't let USDM fan boys hear about that one! :)
