U make a good point about people having better handling cars. I have to say thats something i didnt really consider in my ranting state. But at the same time those soccer moms drive fast enough, and shouldn't be capable of more than 120mph.... they push that as is lol...... let alone 160. I guess ideally, we give them the sti suspension and chassis with the base 2.5 N/A motor in it. |

Well I cant argue against ur logic about it holding better than the 5spd, cuz I know how bad they are. I dont know much about the 4spd auto from the GC era. I mean if it holds more thats a good way to go then, but ur still sacrificing more power to the drivetrain, but i guess it would even out. however, at the same time, ur car is not the new sti. it isnt a product being sent into the market as a half assed job. so my argument about the new auto sti stands because it just sucks everything. |

but heres the thing. who's really going to buy it when its $40k. and they can get the impreza GT or w/e with 227hp for like $23k. Im saying the demographic that doesnt care about the tranny and the full on driving experience isnt going to pay that much for an auto sti when theres many alternatives that are just as good in their eyes at near half the price.

My Ride: WRB 2004 WRX Wagon with 07 STI Trans and Longblock inside! iTrader: (7)

I dunno man, I really don't mind the 5 speed auto trans as long as it is only an OPTION and not THE ONLY option. I personally, if I had the $$ would love an auto STI as my daily driver in the rush hour gridlock....the morning stop and go is one of the reasons I no longer daily drive my WRX (with its swapped 07 STI 6 speed trans) on my 100 mile roundtrip commute...I just can't take the constant upshift/downshift. And as previously stated, some of the fastest custom WRXs use the EAT trans. Granted, it's a little expensive to get it where you want it be with the cost of putting a high stall torque converter and tranny oil cooler. Those expenses are offset by the fact though that you won't be replacing a clutch every XX,XXX miles. A good option as long as it stays just that....an OPTION!

it needs to be a DCT or CVT. im sorry there is NO excuse for it these days. the Evo has it, the sti must compete and attempt to do better, not release some bull**** car with old ass technology that is obviously worse than its main competitor from the get go. Its just an awful move all around. and its one more bad move on top of many other bad moves since 07. its a trend and it needs to stop.

Ford has offered auto mustang GT's for decades and I guarantee it was solely for maximizing profits.
Who gives a flying **** about what an auto is going to do to a car culture that has always been manual? Seriously? You make it seem like your going to feel less about your car and Subaru based on the company creating more options for potential consumers. That's in-****ing-sane. I'm sure Subaru has felt some of the economic woes going around in this global recession and by offering this as an option will possible increase their marginal benefit.
