sportwagon Posted April 9, 2009 Share Posted April 9, 2009 Now that the 2010 LGT is revealed (and pretty much a disapointing car to most people on this website)... What is the deal with the 2010 WRX STi... ???? Are the specs released yet? Did it get a much needed bump in performance to differentiate it from the 09 WRX?

sportwagon Posted April 10, 2009 Author Share Posted April 10, 2009 I guess there is nothing much known besides the spec C in Germany and the 330S in Europe... Both of which are pipe dreams to us here in the states! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AKLGT Posted April 12, 2009 Share Posted April 12, 2009 still waiting.... i'm guessing they will need (at the very least) to bump up the stock power and tq now that they bumped the 09 WRX and 10 LGT. and to really compete, they need to be about 350+ hp/tq. 305 is just not that impressive anymore.

What is the deal with the 2010 WRX STi... ???? Are the specs released yet? Did it get a much needed bump in performance to differentiate it from the 09 WRX? I am just curious as to why you would think that the 2010 LGT is a dissapointment? I mean from what I have read I think it is going to be a much better version atleast in the gt...I mean the car is gaining in HP, a standard 6sp manual tranny, which ,makes me think they are taking the one from the sti, much like in the spec B...And quicker boost response due to the new turbo placement....The only thing that hasn't completely grown on me yet is the head lights...but I am sure it will just take a matter of time for that to grow on me...I just don't see how it can be a let down when they did soo much to make it a more impressive sport sedan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think its pretty bad. Interior styling is pretty :S as well IMO, not to say it isnt nicer, but it doesnt look as sharp as the current LGT's IMO. I'm thrilled they've finally listened to us with a power increase and the 6 speed tranny, but its got some serious styling issues. Finally... I'm personally a HUGE fan of our pillarless doors. I like being able to roll down my window, open the door, and wave my hand across the door cause I'm busting out my jedi moves. lol But really, I like the pillarless doors a lot. If I pass you on the right, I'm flipping you off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like the things you mentioned... not so much that the side mirrors are not folding (minor but lame nonetheless), the guages aren't electroluminescent anymore, the ass-end of the car is lame... I need to see it in person before I'll know for sure though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its not that we are let down by what under the hood but more with the fact that it doesnt look like a Subaru minus the badge. at least the last generation you still felt it was a subbie now I feel that its a Hondayotasan geared at selling more units Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally the styling I am sure is something that people will just get used to...much like the new style of the sti...an acquired taste...But to me what really maked this car stand out is what is under the hood....Turbo, awd, subaru reliability and safety...I dunno...but off the top of my head I can't think of a nissan toyota or honda in the price range that brings the same level of power performance and utility... ohh and on a side not...I bet if you painted the front lights black...on a black car....hmm I think this car would be pure sex...at to it that I can get it with leather heated seats and a sunroof...it is alot more attractive to me now...I was really looking at the sti...but this seems to be a great alternative Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ford FTW?!? They are onto something with the turbo 6 cylinder . . . will the H6 answer the call? As for the STi, I'll reserve comment for the actual photos.

Hate to break it to you, but you're grossly mistaken: 2010 LGT ~3600lbs / 265hp = 13.58 lb/hp 2010 Taurus SHO ~4200lbs / 365hp = 11.51 lb/hp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skylinegtrv98 Posted April 18, 2009 Share Posted April 18, 2009 I don't really think the SHO should be compared to the Legacy GT...I mean it is priced at what...around 38,000, and that is just for the base without options.....that is like a full 10k more than the LGT...Plus from what I have read (and it is limited so sorry if I am wrong) but I saw that it only comes with a paddle shift automatic....I may be old fashioned but I would prefer a 6sp anyday.... If I was looking to spend that kinda money...I sure as heck wouldn't buy a Ford...I would rather go for the BMW 335Xi...but that is just my .02 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't looked in a while. I thought the SHO was much heavier than that. I stand corrected. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 335Xi starts at over 42K . . . and don't expect a deal. I'm most certainly no Ford fan, as every Ford either I or my parents have ever owned sucked for reliability. I most likely would never spend money on another Ford, but you must admit, the specs on the Taurus SHO are pretty intriguing. I'm hoping it spurs Subaru into giving the Leggy some more balls.
