At major auto rallies, well-kitted versions of these hotties throw dirt and rocks as they scream, mostly sideways, down wooded lanes. Throttled back, they鈥檙e exquisite little drivers鈥� cars. Agility is sexy. Here it鈥檚 relatively cheap. And Subaru has allowed the wide-fender look formerly reserved for its sportier STI model to cross lanes into the more basic models of the Impreza WRX. Good thinking. A six-speed manual STI in Plasma Blue Pearl? You鈥檒l be married to the wheel.
