Don't know what you guys think but the new Special edition Altima 3.5L was some pretty big ***** and some nice refinements, depending on how much you wanna spend, plus one of the few times the altima doesn't look like crap "woohoo go nissan"

Not so long ago, there was a sighting of a LHD WRX STi VII in Arizona. I sure hope it comes to NA so I can get an E7!

Mind you the Canadian Mitsubishi dealer network hasn't been established yet so hopefully it will be soon.

In Response to batdorf9's post

First I would like to say how down to earth you guys are on this forum. I have a WRX and have visited other forums ( i'm pretty open minded when it comes to cars.) Anyway, I'd like to point out that most AWD cars are going to be around 3000lbs, and the A4 is quite a bit more. There have not been any WRX's reported with the tranny going yet. There are quite a few out there right now running well over 300hp, and running 12's in the quarter mile. There was talk of the problem being gearbox flex, and Subaru supposedly reenforced it. If you did run into this problem there are companies that have beefed up gears and synchros, or dog boxes. I had originally wanted an Evo VII like 6 months ago. But there was and still is nothing definite. So I ended up getting the WRX which is here right now. No, I don't regret it. This car has totally met my desires in a car. If anything ever happened to my car and Subaru stopped making them I don't know what i'd do. All I know is that I will only own AWD cars for now on! Enjoy your rides and drive safe!

I live in Dublin, PA. I hang out at i-club all the time. You could say that is my second home. But I get around to other sites because i'm pretty open to other cars.

well if for some mysterious reason that the evo vii does not produce in the states thne off we go to the subaru dealer and get a wrx...if you upgrade the ecu you can almost match the sti performance...speed wise and horsepower...keep that in mind...save the extra 4-5000 and get a regular wrx...thats just me...

Toyota Supra TT: I almost asked what the "TT" stands for. Yeesh. Twin Turbo. Very cool car.

I read a while back on Autoweek that Volvo is coming out with a 300 hp S60 with AWD. That should be an awesome car.

Someone mentioned the great cars coming out in 2003. Gang, we are about to enter a year that will go down in automobile history as one of the greatest ever.

I just bought a winter car; a 1991 Audi 200 Turbo Quattro. It's got 220 hp and can be chipped to 280 hp for a few hundred dollars. If it satisfies my desire for AWD speed, I might end up passing on the Evo and replace my FWD car with a RWD sports car.
