By watch out you mean say goodbye?

Still have yet to see how much it weighs though. If it's anything like the EVO X it's a little piggy. :wink:

CHAOS 01-15-2008 01:16 PM

i think this will outsell the wrx.

That I don't agree with.

CHAOS 01-15-2008 01:37 PM

i cant stand the new wrx, the sti looks good with the wider fenders... the wrx to me... looks like a misshapen egg.

ozthunder 01-15-2008 02:02 PM

yea how you don't agree with I don't know...lol

Shame GM hasn't learned yet and the new Cobalt is still going to be FWD. The 08.5 Cobalt is going to be a turbocharged 2.0 and producing 260 stock..

MPowerKai 01-15-2008 02:38 PM

Looks mean, I like it. A lot more than the new impreza's

05suby 01-15-2008 02:49 PM

i like it. i agree with jon. i think it might outsell the new wrx.

ozthunder 01-15-2008 02:57 PM

Astra VXR > Cobalt. Shame GM prolly won't bring that version over.

CHAOS 01-15-2008 03:09 PM

seat cupra > vauxhaul.

Well that "I" don't agree with. The new base WRX is SO ugly "to me" but the new STI is AMAZING.

Saturn Astra Redline = Opel Astra OPC Now that will be a fwd car worth having!
But for a hot hatch.. I would most love to have the 2009 EUROPEAN Focus RS http://www.autoblog.com/2007/12/17/e...begin-in-2009/
But.. that is another topic all together..

ozthunder 01-15-2008 03:34 PM

Well they have an entirely different focus.

I'm talking about the turbo'd Vauxhall one (also a Holden)..is that Opel turbo'd? I didn't realize they released Redline specs?

Pocket_Rocket 01-15-2008 03:47 PM

Yes they are all the same more or less..
No they did not confirm.. that was more of a wish list item for the states..
I am sure you have one too.

ozthunder 01-15-2008 03:49 PM

Yea, it starts with the HSV versions of the G8's, specifically my avy, the "ute"/Maloo. They are bringing that (supposedly) and the wagon (confirmed), but as with the GTO, only the top of the line Holden models, not the HSV ones. HSV= tits, but it'd probably cannibalize quite a lot.
