I posted this over on NASIOC...
...took some pics of R&T Speed article with my digital camera on the deck when I got home. My favorite quote from the article is:
"The WRX turns in quicker and crisper than the old model...the steering response now feels closer to that of the Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution"    Enjoy guys & gals!  -Chike

Yep, the wagon looks really good, but not many people are wagon enthusiasts. I am not against wagons, but if i have to go for it someday, then i will choose Forester, either here or in India it doesnt matter
.But due to tht new grillie Subaru can make more money on the replacement parts than the earlier version. 3 peices (2006) price > 1 single piece (2005) price -Pavan

Went to the dealer today. We don't have the Imprezas yet.
Did check out the XT and Tribeca. Guy said they've actually sold quite a few B9s. Can't say I'm a fan of the interiors of the 05s or 06s. 'Course nothing much compares to the ol' Xeroo.

I forgot about this article I read on NASIOC 1 month ago about the '06 STI. However, they test drove the JDM version which still has the 2.0L engine... http://forums.nasioc.com/forums/showthread.php?t=826752 The pictures are very huge and not 56K friendly. Here's the first page:  -Chike
