i agree moyusuf it did get less appealing, i think it looks like some crossover vehicle at some angles.

It kinda looks like an old Toyota Camry on crack. I don't know if the designers were drunk or whatnot, but my supercharged YUGO looks even better. I wouldn't buy one even if you pay me. LOL

Also I wish they would put a DSG type transmission like Mitsubishi did with the Evo.

I think this looks sick. In europe i only saw a handfull of the sedan older STis but with this i think their sales in europe and asia will be better, plus its lighter and shorter than the sedan. DSG? whats wrong with ur left foot? r u a cripple? Why would you want DSG in a rally car, sure if it was a race quality box with under 100ms shift times and ceramic clutches sure.. but normal tranny u wanna take it offroading/rally driving ur gonna overheat it and burn it. Nothing better than a 100% mechanical manual box unless u drop 20,000$ on a race tranny.

No I'm not a cripple. Well, tell that to Mitsubishi for offering that in their Evo then. It's a rally car too, is it not? Rally or not, doesn't matter. Manual cars are yesterdays news. Ferrari, Nissan (GTR), BMW, Audi, VW, Mitsu, and later porsche have all given in to this spectular piece of technology. Go tell them that they need a manual gearbox. I've owned many manuals and still do with my porsche, but I love the new duel clutch tranny's better and will never go back.

You cant compare a ferrari tranny to a subaru tranny. I still think that regardless of the car (except enzo) any of the cars you listed on a track day after 200 laps of hard racing would blow something in the tranny or overheat it and the car turns off cuz of those fancy sensors. The Veyron is auto because they wanted to control the rate at which the clutch was released, they didnt want ppl dropping the clutch in an AWD car with 1000hp, no tranny could take that unless it was kevlar and titanium reinforced.

I guess you missed out what I'm trying to say, I was stating the different companies that use DSG or some type of duel clutch tranny and I've mentioned Mitsu and Nissan in that as well. I don't really care about track use and I know 99% of the people don't either. All I am saying is that it would be nice to offer some kind of duel clutch tranny and that in the future manual transmissions would be a thing of the past. Show me proof that the tranny's blow up after 200 laps or so. All speculations at this point and we'll see how the mitsubishi evos tranny's hold up then.
