3300 for a small 2 door car.... 3 series are normally 3300lbs, everyone expected the 1 series to not be much more than 3,000

BMW <strike>officially</strike> accidentally prices 135i at $35,675* - Autoblog

The new STI is 3400 LBS? doesnt that defeat the purpose of having a hatch and making it ugly?

.. just think about the possibilities you can do with that 20k..

Subaru finally went soft with their one car that still had "edge."

This reminds me if when the Integra Type-R turned into the RSX Type-S.

Bye boy-racer. Hello yuppie transport, $39,000, WTF?

thats funny they stuck with the original WRX/STI intercooler and manifold design, while the new WRX got the legacy manifold and intercooler. There goes my plan for a plastic manifold
