My Buddy just got a WRX

A buddy of mine just got a Subaru WRX it is int he Yellow. I think he sad it was only one of 40 to be produced for the US. It has all the options including the 5-speed. Fairly quick for a four cyclinder. Here is a pic for those that do not know what a WRX looks like...this is obviously not his car...

That's awesome!
So WRX's are out already?

sweet ;) how much did he pay for it ? Im wondering b/c the dealership close to me jacked it up to 30 grand 6 thousand over msrp

I've wanted one of these for about a week now...stinkin' fast, but still practical as a daily, all weather driver.

I "built my own" at www.subaru.com With the options I put on it, it ended up being $30,059 US (loaded except $3000 BBS wheels, $200 bra, and a couple other small things)

They're a regular production model...as far as I know there will be much more than 40 for the US

I meant to say one of 400 yellow cars to be produced for US. Actually another friend just bought the other yellow one that was at the subi dealer....so 2 of my close friends have a yellow WrX...i will try to get some pics!

what do you mean including the 5-speed? do they actually sell automatic WRX's?

Sadly but truly they do make an Electronic 4spd Automatic trans. The good news is that the 5spd manual trans is standard. The Auto is optional.

The autobox is also a hefty $1000. Not worth it. They shouldn't even offer it. Stupid autos....

Hear hear! Down with autos! WRXs all round! Wow! Best commercial I've seen in a long time!

when i went to my dealer, he claimed that the yellow one i was lookin at was 1 of the 790 produced. im still waiting for a WRX STi

The WRX is one of the nice cars that I can actually afford :smoka:

i saw one on the street the other day.. shocking good looks... i want one:D

FYI - I read somewhere (Car and Driver or maybe Road & Track?) that there will be a total of 10,000 MY02 WRX's to be built for sale in the US.

My bro just got a blue 02 Impreza RS... he loves it!
I will post pics when we make some.

I am going to UTI right now and I live with my girl friend. She is driving and automatic 1990 Toyota Camary. She has always driven automatic Camarys. She has had three of them. She is going to get a WRX when I graduate, and thanks to me and the help of all you..... I finally talked her into a stick!! Thanks for bashing autos and keep it up!! Down with the autos!:angryfire
