Replying to: rsholland (Oct 22, 2008 1:32 pm) I should be getting my test drive next week, but I can't wait!!!! Tell me, tell me now!Unfortunately I am now thinking that the WRB coming in might look a little "racer-boy" for my style, and was thinking that the car looks amazing in Dark Grey Metallic and very understated. Any idea which colour you might get?

Replying to: volkov (Oct 24, 2008 10:46 am) Compared to my 2.5 '06 WRX, the bottom end power seems to be about the same, although I was told it may be a tad less. It does come on stronger at around 3K though, and stays strong right up to redline. The old model seemed to go flat after 5K or so, not this new '09 model. C&D just posted a 4.7 second 0-60—so yeah, it's quick! http://www.caranddriver.com/reviews/hot_lists/high_performance/evo_wrx_zone/2009- - _subaru_impreza_wrx_short_take_road_test?cid=338 The steering seemed a bit more responsive as well_and the slot car handling is back for '09. It's like they took every aspect of the old-generation car, and made each tiny item just a tad better and/or a bit more refined. For example, there are a bunch more speeds available on the intermittent front wiper. The moonroof has an auto-open and auto-close feature. The rear wiper now has a fixed and intermittent speed. I could go on, put you get the point. As to color? Either white, dark gray or black are my first choices. Bob

Replying to: rsholland (Oct 24, 2008 12:25 pm) Thank goodness, that is one of the few complaints I have about the 04 I have - that you have to sit there on the button for what feels like forever to open and close it. |

Replying to: rsholland (Oct 24, 2008 12:25 pm) Bob, sorry about your mishap but I'm glad to read you are ok and things are coming around for you. Serge, my condolences to you and your family. Keep your spirits and head up. I'm sure your Mom would've told you the same thing. Mark, sorry to hear about your job lay off after 22+ yrs. This economy is doing a number on us. Especially those doing contract work (like me). Finished my contract and now looking for work. Let's stay positive folks.. We'll get passed this

Thanks for the thoughts folks. It's been a bit crazy and all but we are hanging in there. Bob- if you are looking at the Garmin's there is a new series just coming out, the 755T and up that now has lane assist, 2 types of traffic and routes (something I miss on my 370). They keep on improving the systems so by the time you are ready, and with the way the economy is going, you should do pretty well price wise. If you go to http://gpsinformation.net/ there are some links to some good retailers. Brenda- hope everything is going along well with your folks. Elm- good to hear from you and sorry to hear about your contract running out. My wife is in the same situation. Her contract ran out awhile a go and was taking it easy until now. Now she's been applying to everything she finds, as well as asking the consulting company for any openings. As my Mom used to say, I'll take it one day at a time" and not go crazy. I think I'll be waxing the rims on the winter tires this week so they can be ready for the swap out at Mike's place.  Hang in there everyone! Mark |

For what seems to be my once a year hello. Mark - Sorry to hear about the layoff. Hope you find something to your liking. Bob - I'd seen on NASIOC that you got an '09 WRX but hadn't heard the "why". Yikes! Glad you're OK! Serge - Sorry to hear about your Mom passing. Yes, Mom's cooking is always the best. Juice - Sorry to hear Hadji passed. Sounds like he was quite the companion. Whether purring or barking. We still have the '05 LGT Wagon and are still loving it. I think I had a rear wheel bearing replaced since I was last here. Oh and got some summer wheels and tires. The British Black Prodrive GC-05's look great on it. Couldn't resist getting them when Prodrive was leaving the US Market in the late winter/spring. I think they're back now but a sale is a sale. My wife and I have been test driving some nice cars lately as she's been looking to upgrade her '93 Acura Legend Coupe. We've driven an Infinity, an Audi and a BMW all automatics. The Infinity G35x Sport felt a bit large, had a great Nav system and was quite nice all around. The '09 Audi A4 V6 w/o Sport package was nice but need to drive it again when not in the middle of a torrential downpour with grape size hail. The '08 335i with sport package was quite nice but the loop the salesman took us on was only surface streets so we couldn't get much of a feel for it. It was rush hour though so the highway wouldn't have been any better. I tried to get her to drive a new Subaru Legacy but she really doesn't much like the sedans and we've already got a wagon so... The Bimmer is leading the pack at the moment. Although she's not sure she needs the turbo version and wants to drive the 328i as well. I'll keep pulling for the 335 though. Cheers! -Ian
