If the WRX is still on the hatch/wagon/wtf design Mustang wins by default.

They still make the hatch version.

But, they also now make a sedan version.. I'm not a fan of the big-ass wing on the back, though.. :dunno:

If I were spending that kind of money, I'd probably lean more towards the Mustang than the WRX STi.. Heck, with the Mustang V6 putting out a hair over 300 horse, I'm not sure that I wouldn't save the $10k vs. the STi and just get the V6.. :dunno:

If I had Clown-Money, though, I'd get at least the GT or maybe the BOSS 302.. :thumbs:

I'd have to go with the Mustang GT on this one. Just throwing an exhaust on them makes them sound sick.

You betcha
Mustang. The WRX/STi is a crazy vehicle but it's just not comfortable... Now the mustang I could get used to...

Why buy new when you can restore?

I'm not a Mustang guy either, but I'd go with it. However, the WRX would be fun up here in the snow!

This thread really needs a title change......"Clown buys another car...again" perhaps. :)

This would be a tough decision for me. I like both for different reasons. I haven't driven one but I hear the wrx handles amazing but is a little firm for a daily driver.

The new mustangs are badass but ford interior just doesn't do it for me. That being said I could overlook that if the power/handling fit the bill.

I have always had a thing for the wrx though.
