what do you expect? dollar value is dropping down the toilet.
interesting..
At the test track, the sum of these changes helps the 2008 STI to a 72.0-mph slalom run, blowing the 2006 STI's 68.1-mph speed out of the water. The last Mitsubishi Evo IX we tested went 70.7 mph, which is closer, but still no cigar.

I guess it all depends on the angle you are lookin at it.
I do know this though, those tail lights i cannot stand. Ruins the back of the car.
While I'm at it, here is Motor Trend's road test, I didn't know they did one:

But no matter what, I don't think I will ever agree that this car looks or is $40,000 good. I really can't think of too many people who have $40,000 to spend on a car are going to spend it on a Subaru or a Mitsubishi for that matter. Not saying they are bad cars, but the people who have that kind of money to blow usually don't look that direction.

The STI is due in U.S. showrooms in January of 2008. Pricing starts at $35,640, $1520 more than before, and stretches to $39,440 with the optional BBS wheels and navigation.
I dunno, in some shots, I think the profile looks really good. Like this one: http://images.motortrend.com/feature...ofile_view.jpg

I'm surprised that they were slower than Edmunds in testing. A discrepency of 2 mph in the quarter is a decent amount.
Wow, that is one of the nicest interiors I've seen this decade. Nice lines, everything well laid out, all the while remaining off the beaten path. Big thumbs up to whoever styled the interior.
should take a hint.l8r)
