The increased torque in the lower range that the new 2.5 has may be responsible for that too. I don't know, all I know is that it drives sweeet.
The heated seats don't hurt either....
i also share your love of automatics (or is it hatred of manuals on my traffic-filled, stop-n-go, up-and-down hill daily commute?)
its a shame the new WRX doesn't have the 5EAT as an option. its really an awesome transmission - WAY better than the 4EAT in my ol' SVX or the wife's WRX.

I bet somebody or company is going to come out with a grill and headlight eyelid clipon that will make the 06s look more like the GC8.

That's funny, reading those posts and the ones on NASIOC. Flash back to 2001: The new WRX was just coming out and Impreza fans the world over were jumping off buildings. Fast forward to today: The round headlight Impreza is affectionately called the "bugeye" and is declared the favorite by some many.
So...when I read the current comments concerning the '06 as being "worst one of all", I tend to smile...
