Ahh crap. I think I like it. But we will never know-(sigh)-

At least it's a 2.0 litre. I was getting worried about WRC with all the 2.5 love.

The new grille is growing on me...and I bet that thing pulls like a mofo all the way to 8000rpm, or higher.

"Larger twin-scroll turbo" -- to which model are they referring? No longer the VF36? A PE turbo perhaps?

Its nice but 42000$ is a bit much for what is essentially a factory modded WRX.

That is a bit pricey. I wonder if the Yamaha chassis damper things make it drive noticably different.

Barring the seats and a few other bits, the car's not really a good deal. It's a limited production, high-priced version of the WRX STi . . . when a regular STi could be purchased AND MODDED for far less.

i think that little S204 badge increases the price at like a few thousand...plus badging does add roughly 10-15 hp ya heard

I'm sorry. I just can't get past the grill.

There were so many coller things they could've done with the aircraft theme front.

One idea for a Tribeca update I had tonight while seeing one go by in the rain would be to exaggerate the grille making it more triangular, and extending the two legs all the way down with fog lights at the termination points by the road. A black one would look like Darth Vader.

Let's not forget that ALL 2006 Imprezas share this front clip. The S204, STi, etc, etc should not be singled-out.

Actually, I like that grill and headlight combo. Looks pretty good.

I'm surprised it's growing on people. It's getting worse the more I look at it.
