Default 2006 STI

I was just wondering when it goes on sale in the US, or if it has already? I went to the ''Subaru Building'' yesterday in Tokyo and took a seat in the new STi. I have to say that I really like it, feels solid. Ive been seeing this things driving around Japan for about a month now. I picked up a DVD, Video and a brochure too; which Im sure Ill get tired of quick, so maybe if anyone of you subaru nuts wants it, just let me know.

It is at a few dealerships around the country, but not every one yet.

I've seen pictures of them out on the road already.

I haven't seen any at Michael Hohl in Carson. . . in fact, according to their website, they're totally STi-less, and have been for several weeks.

Maybe they have some on the way.

Sorry, I'm not an '06 nose job fan. I will wait for EVO IX which is already out in Thailand for around 6 month now. Because I'm also not a fan of a nose job on EVO VIII.

I was car shopping with my little brother yesterday and took him to subaru to find an '06 Sti, black still with all of the transport covers and stickers on it. We wanted to take it for a test drive but it still hadn't been through tech yet.

I truly love it, new nose job and all. that thing in person is very impressive.

I have a couple of stories about a test driving an AUDI A4 yesterday that are pretty funny, I'll have to share with those who to the meet on Thursday.

They have a black one in the showroom, it's been there for about 2 weeks I'd say. My friend who works in detail there was bragging about how he got to drive one and was telling me all about it. Turns out he just drove it from the truck to the showroom. Geek.

And spoolin, yer in Japan? For why? Bobo and I were contemplating moving there...

Shite - I'm not gonna be there. I'll be in nasty hot/muggy Texas this week for managers' conference. Love conference, hate Texas.

No worries, mate. I'll still remember what I did to that salesman when you get back. What makes it even more funny now is that I'm going into that AUDI dealership today for a job interview.
