first off the wrx is foreign. and it wont get alot of attention because the new 05 mustang got a face lift. it is completely different than the current models. its the NEW thing for the 05 model year. plus you have to remember about the legacy that ford has with the mustang.
you are right, the wrx is a grocery getter and it is fast. it does have a good motor and it looks good. but remember when you by one car or the other there is a reson why. sure if the hp rateing is the same then ok. i havent looked at either one lately so i dont know. but i do know that you either like the mustang or you dont and alot of ppl do, and thats is why it is getting alot of attention. people who buy the 'stang can obviously get an upgrade with the gt, svt cobra, saleen, or roush. i dont know what is in store for the 05, but i do know that was avail for the other models. and if you want hp go with one of the upgrades like i stated above.
i dont know what the upgrades for the wrx is, but i tip my hat to ford for what they did to the new mustang. i love it, and stand by it 100%, in comparison to the wrx
i guess if you like a turbo, intercooled, 4 door car, you can always get a wrx
vooooopsssh!! (turbo sound)
hahaha
