Haha! That's AWESOME! Yeah, I noticed that after my little comment about how AWD is better than anything european luxury can offer, no one really said anything of substance..and they sorta just ignored it and subtly switched the topic. haha! Oh well...another score for subies! If we can't beat them in the village, we'll beat them out on the road, where it really counts!

I love it!!! I own a 98 2.5 RS, and last winter, when Chicago got like 8" of snow in 10 hours and the IDOT guys were picking their noses, I was shooting down the Kennedy past this BMW 330xi whose suspension and low clearance couldn't handle the snow. He tried to gun it to keep up, but he kept sliding his tail coz he couldn't get a grip. The best part was the S turn by Addison; he nearly hit the wall and I just drifted through. Every time I drift this car, I can't stop smiling. It's handling is so perfectly balanced, it's amazing. Why would I buy anything else? Naveen, forget the "Car-talk" village. They're obsessed with european imports and luxury cars - they care more about the image than the engineering. It's more about the fantasy than reality. I've pointed out the STi's supremacy many times, and they just dismiss or ignore it coz there's really nothing to say.
