Maybe my perception is skewed by my years. I can't understand anyone oohing and ahhing over EVOs, etc. The only thing a WRX has going for it is power, IMHO it's about butt-ugly. I feel sorry for most young-uns for what they have to pick from for sporting cars. To me, most look like econo-cans with grocery cart handles and decals. Most anything I would ooh and aah over costs more than most can afford. The younger crowd probably thinks of WRX and EVO as sports cars. To me they are just hopped-up s***boxes.
I guess our difference of opinions lie in our different frames of reference. No worries.
