Default If that is true, its more then just competition. It's the dominator over the A3& S3.

Just wonder how the interior quality is.

Default The newer Legacys are quite nice, although not quite to Audi level once you get in

and really feel your way around. They did use Audi as their benchmark. Overall, their cars do feel lighter and a bit tinnier - and rattles are probalby their number one complaint.

The C pillar treatment looks like a Daewoo.....

But most people will probably never notice that. Wonder how much of a price bump we'll see?

Could it be the new WRX STI? I hear the STI will be wagon only in the next revision.

330hp sounds more like STI, can't imagine a 100hp jump from the current WRX. But who knows....

Doesn't the current STI have ~300-330 hp? If so, a boost for the new one would not be surprising. 400hp seems like a lot though...and a 330hp WRX is pretty stout. I hope Subie has solved the "glass transmission" issue.
