is the upgrade for the WRX confirmed already for sure? i mean it could be going around..since the launch of the RA is coming up soon...they could be just trying to hold off RA buys that are torn between the 2..

Local dealer still doesn't know much... Hell, local vendors don't know much about the car either!
I think that the older Subaru, since the bugeye, are very brute looking cars, there's something about them that feels like if you mess with them, they'll beat you up... An Evo, and now the RA is a more refined car, looks more like a street racer, not a bruiser. I don't know if this makes much sense to you guys, but to me, the Subaru WRXs and STis look much more brutal than the Evos, plus... there's WAY less STis where I live than Evos, everyone has an Evo nowdays.

Well, as expansive as your personal experience may be, the numbers don't lie and Impreza sales are up 11% since the 08 was released. Its even more impressive if you factor is the huge industry-wide drop in new car sales during that same period. I will admit that those numbers do not break out 2.5i verses WRX models and I would bet that the a large 2.5i sales increase is masking a small decrease in WRX sales.

I don't think the Ralliart looks like a "street racer" since it shares the same body as the GTS. When I see a GTS, I don't think speed, I usually think that it's a nice looking car but not overtly aggressive. The evo on the other hand still looks mean (almost like a shark) since you can clearly see the intercooler and it's wider.
It doesn't look like a street racer but more as an aggresive GTS.
I think that comes mostly with the hood and the grill.
Still interested, tho.
Not really interested in manuals as much as i used to, but now with the news of the Subie GT. Kinda wonder if
will counter it with more hp in the R/A 2010 model.(if there is one)
