Woot! Thanks for the video Scott! I was happy to see the GTI beat out the Rental SS, and surprised to see that the '09 wrx only came in third.

I read that comparo at work a couple days ago. Pretty awesome. I love that Chevy made the new Slowbalt SS a true contender in this class performance wise compared to the SC model, but GODDAMN it's an ugly mother fucker. Almost as ugly as that Mini.

yep. I have to give them credit for that, but I personally wouldn't want it still...I mean, if you wouldn't buy the base model car...why would you want the faster one.... in the ms3 case, I still like the base mazda 3

the wrx came in 4th lol...at least in the video i watched...haha

Well....I was almost gonna agree with you. Till I remembered that I have a Neon SRT-4.

ha. Thats true. I would say the SRT-4 is distinctively different car than the reg neon though. The Cobalt looks hardly any different though. But I would still not buy the base model of either car.

I read the write up in the latest issue last night. Basically the same as the video. That made mention that a new MS3 will debut next year.
