There was a total import of about 10,xxx WRX's of which only 450 were painted "Blaze Yellow" (see butter). This one is number 379 out of 10,xxx and to make it even more rare only 200 "Blaze Yellow's" are auto. Many people pre ordered this color thinking it was a canary yellow like the mustang, protégé 5, etc. and had a big surprise when they picked it up.
From what subaru is saying they will have a yellow, much brighter, color for 2003. If you are looking for a used WRX check the autotrader. There was silver (yum!) '02 with 8K on the ODO for about 21K. Not tooo bad
Assuming this rep company that I am starting goes over well (crossing fingers, knocking on wood, with horseshoe up butt) I will be looking for a silver sedan or an STi when they become available. I know that my SVT replacement will be an AWD turbo sedan. That lets me choose from the WRX/STi or S4. Seeing that the S4 will be close to 40K I think I'll stick with the Scooby
.
Side Note:
They are building Subaru of Gwinnett right now and it should be open by fall/winter of this year. It's on satellite across from the new police station. If anyone cares?
