We are right in the middle. Kewpay (since our second language is Francais) and Porsch....

And yes, I would take the wagon anytime too...

As a european, I assure you there's absolutely nothing snobbish about pronouncing these words "euro-style".

Someone on the internets said:

"What's the difference between a Porsche and a hedgehog? In the Porsche, the pricks are on the inside". Judging from the driving style of local Porsche owners, it's not really true. BMW and VAG drivers are far much worse.

Also, best of luck with the scoob, sounds like a fun car!
But this is America and we pronounce words per our own dialect. I drove a history professor crazy in college once because I refused to pronounce Joseph Goebbels name "properly". My response was that we won and they lost so I will pronounce his name however I please.

Don't start hating on Porsche owners...

And that seems like a pretty decent price for the car if the person who did the swap knows the history (and can provide documents) of the pieces used in the swap.

If there is any reason to get a coupe... here it is... here is a shot of us looking at another STi swap 22B at subiefest later that day. Ivo is in the bright orange shirt to the right.

Also... my SVX just to the left of the coupe's hood, in the background!

my other reason for the wagon is I need a vehicle with trunk space and I have the Svx for a 2dr coup
