Why kick and whine about the 2.5? From what I see, the 2.5 gives us 300hp and 300 lbs of torque according to the website. Correct me if I'm wrong, but thats more powerful than the previous 02/03 STi models in Europe and Japan. Why complain? And oh yeah, the car is no longer that fugly... It might actually find a place in my driveway if I don't spring for one of those yummy TSXs...
