08' Wrx

I was curious if anyone here owns or has a friend who owns the new WRX, and what their impressions of the car are thus far?

It's hard to own a car which has been fully released to market yet, but those I know (dealers and from the media) that have driven them have been impressed.

Re: 08' Wrx

I just spoke to a dealer here in Tallahassee, and he told me it's gonna be another 4 months.

Re: 08' Wrx

Sorry for the delayed responce I've been away, we have had a brand new WRX (2008 new body style etc.) for 2 months now, not to mention I live in Saskatoon Saskatchewan, so not exactily the first place you would expect them to send one of the first cars.

Re: 08' Wrx

Must see! I'm sitting in the parking lot of a friend's apartment complex right now looking at a 2008 Legacy GT 2.5 across from me. Gonna go look up the specs on that thing real quick as well as the new WRX.

Re: 08' Wrx

I'll be near there tomorrow so i'll take my camera then, but i have to admit, that it does look better in the skin than in pictures, me buying one is a few years off, so i'm with-holding my test drive untill I'm in the market for one.

They've got 5 on the lot here in Greenville, SC - your dealer can get them if he wants. It's only the STI which is not yet available.
