FYR, the A8L was on special at $110k drive away(friends with dealer) hence the interest. Not normally in the market for such an expensive car.
The STi being over 60k i'd look at something else with better bang for your buck, maybe VW sirroco/Golf R, Bmw 135i, Merc A45.
The Recaros are not that tight. I do feel the quailty of the impreza has gone down since the GD series (01-07) but the WRX is still a bargin at $39,990.

I get by in a 1983 Toyota Lite Ace. It's as tough a land cruiser and it being so old I'm never worried about getting any dings in it.
Dreaming of an Audi A6. Realistically next purchase most likely a Mazda 6.
1983 Jesus how many k's has it done

I hear ya man, I really do (or is that the rum n coke talking again?...) But the Bogan in me can't fathom names like Sirocco... The 135 has its merits, but its still a small car wanna be M3, plus I wouldn't fit in it. The second hand RS4 does interest me given its outright performance and 'luxury'. But, the new VF SSV gave me a hard on when the press release with photos came out a week ago. Might just wait for that instead just a shame we have to pay $10k more than the same car exported to the US. Can't wait to see what HSV do the VF *drools in anticipation*

Wife wants a new car she likes the look of the 3.0 Audi A5 fastback, I drove the smaller engine one in the UK and it was good. Does anyone have one? If so do you like it ?
Cancel that she wants a BMW 4 series will have to wait a few months to see what they look like
Didn't know that BMW had a 4 series vehicle
BTW she was looking at a 335 con $125k over here £42k over in UK wtf is going on thats about double the price!!! They use the line that they don't want to disadvantage their previous customers by reducing the price because of the exchange rate.
Well no one has a 4 series so lets have it at the same price as Europe!!
Dream on no chance
I'm not wearing the transport costs, luxury car tax yes but you can buy an Aston Martin with 500 miles on the clock in the UK for the cost of a BMW conv over here. And if you go to the USA M5 $107 k in Au $257k Porsche 911 $100k $250k in Au they can't explain that with transport costs
