I'm failing to see your comparison between this model and a 2008 wrx. Try harder. They are making slightly more hp with a smaller and going that has a twin scroll turbo with a direct injected engine. They are claiming it's the best handling wrx to date, that's another check in he new column. They are claiming up to 30 mpg's I'm sure highway. The interior is nicer then wrx's in the past. Power seats finally in an impreza is a nice step as well. Oh yeah lets not forget the 6 speed. I fail to see how any of this can be compared to an 08' model.

So now you see I made my point and have specific examples. You should try doing the same to actually have a valid point. Plus you drive an 03' wrx. This car is worlds better then your old box.
Its all really very simple. For $40k look around and recognize what's available: Audi, Cadillac, BMW and Mercedes all offer AWD rockets at this price point new or barely used. Go drive an S4 or ATS4 then the new STI and tell me where your $40k is better spent. Its not even close.

Subaru needs to make the performance gap what it once was in 2004 and to a lesser extent in 2008 to justify the price.

Making compromises to what makes a Subaru a Subaru for 3HP, carrying over 20 year old engines over promising with concept design is turning their backs on loyal Subaru fans. So get a clue Chief... and insulting another member's WRX is pretty weak.
