You guys must all be really young.


I love these cars. Other than having no use for one, I keep wanting to buy one. They were a pretty radical design (love-it-or-hate-it along the lines of the Bangle butt BMWs) and fairly expensive in their day; unfortunately the heavy weight (3700?) and lack of a manual transmission pretty much doomed the car.

OP: Other than the wheels choices, great looking car...

A friend of mine had one with a 5MT swapped in, I don't remember what car it was sourced from. Probably an older WRX/2.5RS. The 6MT from the STi sounds like a good option.
