While at the Toronto Auto Show.......

After enjoying all the sights.... GT-R R8 etc etc....

After my close call with my F-150, I started looking at cars that might suit DD duties.
Since I really have no need for a pickup any longer, I established the following criterial.

1. Must be in a reasonably economical price range... ~$30 -35K
2. Must have enough power to still have an entertainment factor - sub 7sec 0 - 100km
3. NOT fwd
4. < 3200 lb so that it was some potential to be somewhat entertaining on a twisty.
5. doesn't have to be a beauty queen as long as it wasn't beaten with a fugly stick.

Guess what cars, I came up with?????

Subaru Impreza WRX. Although it's 1 lb over your weight limit, and I'm not sure if it's sub-7 seconds.
