Since it's not a Subaru, Mitsu, or now apparently Hyundai, it's garbage I guess.

And seriously, this is really old news. This car's been for sale for 6 months now, and the world has known about it for over a year, lol.
come on guys, this guys got one in his avatar... hes an expert. people get excited about these because they aren't sold in the US... same reason why people still get excited when they see 20 year old skylines running around...

I personally would not buy one because they cost to much for what it is... Sure its a fierce rally car for FWD events, but its really nothing amazing. Maybe if PA roads were rally tracks id consider, but I still could never see myself buying one of those over a m3 or something...
