Got it.....well considering the actual WRX has only been on our shores for a couple of years, it is still a bit premature to tell the longevity of the car produced for us, but I can tell you that the resale value of the car is incredible. But at 56, I guess I would expect you to be a bit more open minded, and not so condescending as you have come across to be. It stands to reason that the only form of racing you've ever done is straight line because it's your "era"...muscle car era.....straight line..which is big fun no doubt. But with technology nowadays, straight line is not where the fun ends. Even if you don't enjoy racing in twisties, just the overall performance and road handling that the car offers you during a leisurely high speed stroll along the back roads is awe inspiring. Seriously though, hop in one some day. Your first though will not be, "Dang, this thing is fast..for a 4 cylinder".....if the person knows how to drive the car, from a dig, your only thought will be "Dang, this thing is fast". I've been in numerous 11 second Mustangs and few 10 sec ones as well. Of course, the STi doesn't pull like that. But, it's a thrill ride none the less......As far as how many of them we will see in years to come. Guess that depends on number of production years and production numbers for each year. Because the STi is a limited production vehicle, I expect it to be a very much collected item, sought after by many car enthusiasts(domestic/import...or otherwise) in the future...If not, I'm sure most all of us who had the chance to own one will still remember fondly of the enjoyment is provided during that time. Dang, you guys are harsh on this forum....if it ain't a GN, it's ****e!!!!!!!!!! I thought we were CAR ENTHUSIASTS, not JUST GN enthusiasts....
