The FoRS is gone, now to get serious about developing an STi. I’ve already found the perfect one, now just to convince the dealer that has it to swap it to the dealer who is closest to me.
This time it will be WR Blue. My 07 was Urban Grey, and even though it was an awesome color I always regretted not getting a blue one. After 10 years with that I car, I ended up with two regrets; the first that it wasn’t blue, the second that I traded it in. Here’s hoping that round two with an STi goes as good as the first time.
It was an interesting trip to the dealer on Thursday. I walked in and told them we were getting the buy back done. Their GM asked, “did the lawyers call you?” Nope, but we’re doing it anyway. I’ve got the title in my truck, you’ve got the rest of the papers I need to sign. We’re going to get it done and then you can send out a flat bed to pick up your car. With apologies to ImmoralMinority and Steve Lehto, sometimes you’ve just gotta say “eff the lawy ers, we’re getting stuff done today”.

You know if the buybacks are widespread or if it’s limited to a small number of cars?

Good luck. It’s a real shame about the RS

I don’t believe there are any published numbers when it comes to buybacks. Anecdotally it sounds like there are more buybacks on the FoRS than other cars, but I haven’t seen anything to back that up.

Considering the issues some of them have had, I would tend to believe the anecdotes.

Oh god, buybacks are a pain in the balls. I went through one on a Dodge Dart. I totally feel for you dude.

He’s the second buy back I’ve seen from the source.

Yikes! It’s a shame how hard this car has flopped.
I toyed with buying one, but the quality issues and ADM turned me off. Then I sat in one at the auto show a year later and found I didn’t like the driving position.

It’s all done now, but yeah it just dragged on forever. Even once the court decision was made and they had all the info to get everything done, the corporate lawyers dragged their feet for another two months.

Looking forward to your thoughts on the new STi versus your old STi. I am greatly enjoying my ‘06 STi but always curious what the newer ones are like from that perspective. All of the comparisons online seem to just focus on “last year’s model”. But I havent seen any decent comparisons amongst the generations. I 100% agree that getting it in a real color is essential. Silver and grey just make me mad. I thought I would feel the same way about white but I have been very happy with how nice Aspen White is.
