A few quotes:
"The WRX put in an emphatic performance and its victory is well deserved."
"The 2.5 litre boxer feels lustier than in any WRX in recent history."
"WRX's specification update highlights just how bad the MY08 model really was."
"Much faster than last year, but the sedan has an arse like a fat hippo."

ok so there is no MPS to compare i guess for the year 09.. BUT competitors were Ralliart Lancer, 370Z, Audi TTS, Maxda MX5, Mazda 3 SP25, VW Golf TSi, Passat CC, Civic Type R and a few others. 13 in total.
Ok no offense to our fellow mazda SP25 owners... but the SP25... ??
why would they release this article now.. why not wait a bit til we have like the R32 Golf and the new MPS out... then see what happens...
