haha epic fail. They (Subaru) couldn't be previous generation. I've heard the same about the new Lancers.
Honestly, less styling and less performance...Subaru :loco

Thats not a fair comparison as the speed3 is the "highend" car, they should be comparing the Mazda 3 to the wrx and the speed to the STI.

^^ actually no. If they weight the WRX to the mazda 3 it wo'nt make sense. The WRX and the mazda 3 priced out differnt. No turbo vs yes turbo and the price different on the speed 3 and the STI is ridiculously crazy.

class comparison:
mazda3 = impreza (i.e. 2.3GT=2.5RS)
impreza WRX = mazdaspeed3
sti = ??? (mazda doesn't really have a current mass produced rally car...)

Well I do see what you mean but the way I am looking at it is The Mazda 3 is the cheaper car with the Speed being the higher end Mazda 3, same thing with the WRX and then the WRX STI.
I cant believe what the WRX has turned into and hopefully they change it for 09 or else it's gonna loose it's popularity!

Oh, I forgot Subaru made the RS. LOL I thought thought it was only the wrx and the sti

"Hanlin ver bad... ok
I am Yoshimoto and Mazda good, Subaru should perform Seppuku (Hara-kiri) for shame it has brought upon itself!"

sti hatch better do better...otherwise subaru screwed up big time.
It's the fist year with the new rear end (double wishbone's and I think they are using the rear drive system from the Legacy or Forester too).

they better fix that body roll -.-
SpeedBaby

And here are the pics of the first new STi smashed...I'm guessing they didn't fix that body roll problem at all...
