Subaru seems to be doing a very intelligent job of marketing their product and keeping their niche line of all wheel drive intact.

Subaru, like VW has cheapened their product but they still have managed to hang on to their weird customer base. I do not hear much good about how these new Subies hold up or drive...although when i have driven them they seem pleasant enough. Just not at all entertaining.

The fact that the IMpreza has real room inside is a big thing.

I think people are so busy with their lives that they don't care as much about how the thing drives. Al;so, they had to cheapen their product because the yen is so strong.

A lot of the cars that Japan is selling us should be 5 to 8 k cheaper if the dollar was stronger.

Gotta admit, I love the BRZ. If only it had the turbo producing around ~270hp.

Aftermarket is working on this. Still won't catch a ZO6

Doesn't have to. Tracking a 270 hp before a 505 hp car is like warming up.

May be a used Solstice with Stage II Upgrade.

We had a solstice that was supercharged rather than Turbocharged when I raced with the Dayton Corvette Club a couple of weeks ago. Very impressive...

I had him 6 of ten runs, and on the final run he had me by two tenths of a second....but a very fast car indeed.
