The upcoming 9-2, which is basically a WRX.
Countless tuning bits are available, and the WRX has become the 21st century's pony car, at least here in North America. I can't wait until somebody drops a 2.5L STi motor and drivetrain into a 9-2. Okay, Imprezas are known to pop trannies (sound familiar?) but dog boxes and gearsets are much more readily available than for c900s. Subaru's AWD system is the envy of other manufacturers, especially the STi's with the LSD up front and adjustable centre differential.
300hp, 300 ft lbs, AWD - it's what most of us have wet dreams about, isn't it? :) The North American spec STi will have all of this and more. And given the very short gestation time of the 9-2, I'm betting all current Impreza mechanicals will be a direct swap into the 9-2. The Impreza tuning aftermarket is massive, and therein lies the ultimate potential for the 9-2.
