Anyway, better late than never ! The only question is, why does it take Subaru more than one try, to get it right ?
 
New to Subaru are yah?
 
1998 2.5RS = 2.5L DOHC, small fogs, whacky interior, different brakes
1999 2.5RS = 2.5L SOHC, large fogs, white face gauges, different brakes, normal interior
 
2002 WRX = same brake pads as the 01 RS, bad 2nd/3rd gear trans issue, no moonroof, etc. etc.
2003 WRX = "new" brakes, etc. etc.
 
Seems to be the trend that Subaru has, with the impreza line.

I appreciate the effort, but, the link doesn't seem to be working.

That's the second time a link has disappeared. Really strange...

Why do these guys continuously drive like complete jackasses? Really makes me want to get out of the whole Subaru scene when I see the lack of skill, lack of respect for machine, and utter crap videos like that shown. Typical ex-honda driver stuff, typical Fast and Furious crappola. Ugh....
 
Guess that's why I've set my sights on a 2010 GTR for my next street car, it's a tad more refined and like a 911 wouldn't be doing that drifting crap.

Not sure I agree the video is as bad as you say, but I do agree with you that marketing the drifting and donuts isn't great on the side of bad. Marketing the car as a toy.
 
I hope to use my STi at a track. I have only had it for a couple of weeks, but drifting and donuts is not why I bought the car...and promoting that image is not what I think subaru should be going for. I would think the traditional rally videos and/or track videos are more appealing.
