Haha! I was poking through MotorTrend's upcoming car list and here's what they had to say about the 2002 WRX:
" The 227-horse four-cylinder is matched with a five-speed manual or four-speed auto transmission, sport-tuned suspension, 16-wheels, aggressive styling, and full roster of creature comforts. The Impreza goes on sale in spring 2001, with WRX prices starting at $23,495."
Holy !#$@, 16 wheels??
