I find it amazing how much Subaru's have grown, they used to be compact cars about the size of a corolla. Wow!!

When Subaru first brought the STI to the USA in 2004 it was one incredible machine. I think they have lost their way by leaving the same engine in the car for 10 years, but man back then they were great. Mid 13 second 1/4 miles from a sedan with incredible brakes, a bulletproof transmission and fantastic handling for $32k was just unreal. They really need a full overhaul on the new ones. Back then the evo and sti were damn near corvette performance in a sedan.

If you aren't going to have 2 cars and drive in the snow this is a easy decision get the STI. Really like the 2015 STI. It has the same engine but they have made major improvements in the suspension. 305hp in that lightweight car is crazy. Still does 0-60 in under 5 sec which is crazy fast. New WRX does have a new engine. Will be interesting to see if Subaru gets more power out of that 2.0 in the wrx and puts it in the STI at some point. Can't go wrong with either car in my opinion...

From my experience most women will say something along the lines of, "I like the blue one" because the term V8 means about as much to them as a particular shade of eyeliner means to me.

Exactly!! Couldn't agree more. I've had more women compliment my V6 Camaro than I can count, and they couldn't give a damn about what's under the hood. They don't care what powers it, as long as it looks good to them.

Some Subaru's do look sweet, but not all of them. I'm partial to the STi's look and not really fond of the WRX, even though minor exterior queues set them apart.
To answer your question of do they look sweet compared to a Camaro? No, not in my opinion. They do not look better than a Camaro, even a measly V6 Camaro

Been there, done that and got the T-shirt. Born and raised in Colorado and drove rear wheel vehicles my whole life. However, no need to tear up my Camaro when I have a perfectly good 4X4 sitting in the driveway

When did I say you should drive a camaro in the snow if you don't have to? If you look back I said buy the camaro and save for a winter beater! You think I would choose to do it if I didn't have to! My point is some times you have to make a sacrifice, I never wanted to drive my car in the winter! I did because I wouldn't have it if I didn't, I saved a now have a 4x4 truck for that! Or I could have been a pansy and got a STI and not worry about it lol
