cool idea

it would be cool if subaru built a truck because their engines can take a lot of stress and they could make a nice work truck.

Subaru BAJA is close.

Subaru kicks a$$ at everything they do.

The closest Subaru have come to building trucks is the Brat and the Baja, neither of which are true trucks in the American sense but both fairly functional.

On the other hand, I believe if you go to www.fhi.co.jp you would be surprised at what comes under the umbrella which covers Subaru.

Fuji Heavy Industries have fingers in many pies, they are also in the aerospace industry, as well as building generators and trucks.

And they build ships. Usually cargo or oil tankers.

But most importantly they build great cars

Indeed.........

Although I must admit , I'm not real impressed with the new STi. Nice interior , though. But the body and the general style is just yuck......

Most of the WRX owners I know have no intentions of getting an STi , they'd rather build up their current car

I like the old ('01) style WRX body better myself , the new 2004 style looks too Honda-ish for my taste....headlights remind me of an RSX

I hear you on the new look thing, I like it on the rally car, but am still undecided on the street car. Looks kinda like the new Corolla too

And at 300 (

) pounds heavier than the last WRX , even with 300 Hp , its sliding fast towards the bottom of my list of cars to get. Not to mention the detonation problems listed in depth at the NASIOC website. Detonation on 94 octane gas isn't good......

And the guys at Easy-Street , home of the worlds fastest WRX , also have no intention of using the STi any time soon. Got some pics of that car , from a Scoob meet yesterday , that I may post soon.....
