Okay you take your $48,995 Impreza WRX STi and I'll spend $2,605 more and get a 2007 BMW 335i Coupé, what with that twin-turbo 3.0 litre inline six pot that is fuelled by passion and lovemaking from across the globe |

You just made me throw up. If I wanted that much sap I'd rape a pine tree.
You have a point though, the STi is overpriced. The plain WRX gives you a great price to performance ratio. |

The STI is ridiculously overpriced. Even the regular WRX is overpriced. $37,000 for a BASE model WRX sedan? Go yourself, Subaru. I'll go spend $28k on a Mazdaspeed 3.
Oh and also, this is the best advertisement EVER:
"Even a Mercedes can bring driving pleasure." |

Still not bad considering the specs on it. BIG improvement over that joke of a Mazdaspeed Protegé they released a couple years ago. |

What? The MS Protege was sweet. I'd love one. It takes very, VERY well to more boost, apparently. |

It desperatly needed that more boost. 175hp from a turbo and intercooled 2.0 litre? That's only a 35hp increase from the normal 2.0 in the granny Protegé.
Honda was pumping 200hp from an NA 2.0 in the RSX the same year! |

And the MS Protege was $26k while the RSX was easily $33+. |

That's because it was a pansy car.
Also, Honda is the most overpriced car company as far as I'm concerned. |

well...that's a matter of choice...comaparing a brute rally-inspired car with a luxery coupe is apples and orangess. You're also comparing a brand new model with a one that's been around for many years (and a car with agruably the best AWD system in a car).
personally, if I was dropping 50k on a luxery sport coupe, it would be the new G35, not a BMW...as it's not all about numbers.
(btw, not critiquing their engines, which consistently rank among the very best, if not being THE best...but the BMW twin-turbo setup adds a measely 70 peak hp to the base inline six? Isn't that a bit...weak? Meh...I'd like to see power curves for both cars before really commenting much...I don't know anything really about the new 335).
The MazdaSpeed 3 looks *sweet*...I've really liked with MS has been doing...I'd take one over a RSX in a heartbeat.
after selling the Talon a couple of years ago and becoming a mere pedestrian...i've been woefully out of touch with the new car lineups :( |

BMW owns all (except Porsche)
:D
335i is so much better then the STI. Also, BMW will be coming out with a 335ix. AWD coupe to shut up Audi. |
