and subaru's is the forester?? just does NOT fit in.
Sure it fits in, the Impreza WRX-STi is Subaru's fastest car, not the Forester.

The WRX and the STI are all Impreza's, based on Subaru's "base" model. Just like the 60's & 70's muscle cars, take the base model insert big motor...same thinking.
Impreza Line = USA Base Model: TS < Outback Sport < RS < WRX < STi
Forester Line = USA SUV: X < XS < XT
Baja Line = USA Truck: Sport < Baja Turbo
Legacy Line = USA Premium Model: SE < GT < Outback < H6
Wait til the Legacy Turbo gets here...the WRX will be the slowest turbo car Subaru sells!
