The good news for Subiephiles is a very limited edition of 125 WRX STI Special Edition models will be available in Aspen White paint with spec C JDM wheels next spring before the Special Edition becomes another STI trim level. The bad news is the car won’t be getting an upgrade from the 305 hp and 290 lb-ft of torque that a regular STI produces. Instead, the Special Edition gets a variety of suspension stiffening components to improve handling.inline_mediumwraptextright26062904/features/news/0911_2010_subaru_impreza_wrx_sti_special_edition0911_01_z+2010_subaru_impreza_wRX_sTI_special_edition+front_three_quarter_view.jpgTrue

So, with the addition of an optional V-6 the new TSX erases the last significant division between itself and the TL sedan that sits above it in Acura's lineup. In fact, all three Acura sedans are now V-6-powered, with front- or all-wheel-drive, or about as easily distinguishable as their names (TSX, TL, and RL). This is not the way to build a hierarchy.inline_mediumwraptextright26932417/reviews/editors_notebook/0911_2010_acura_tsx_v60911_01_z+2010_acura_tSX_v-6+front_three_quarter_view.jpgTrue

What weighs three tons, wears 22-inch wheels, and returns 21 mpg in the city? GMC's new Yukon Denali Hybrid.inline_mediumwraptextright26023121/green/reviews/0911_2009_gmc_yukon_denali_hybrid0911_12_z+2009_gMC_yukon_denali_hybrid+front_three_quarter_view.jpgTrue

With conspicuous consumption suddenly out of vogue, 10,000 sales a year is no longer a realistic goal for Bentley - today, anything beyond 6000 units is considered optimistic. The only way out of this dilemma is down - down in size, down in price, and down in ostentatiousness. For a brand like Bentley, down means the $110,000-to-$130,000 bracket, a curb weight of less than 5000 pounds, and no more than eight cylinders under the hood.inline_mediumwraptextright30991782/features/news/0912_new_compact_bentley_continental0912_01_z+bentley_continental+new_compact_bentley.jpgTrue

Born from one of the most pure and minimalist sports cars, the Lotus Exige is an extreme car. Adding a fixed roof, a stiffer suspension, and a supercharger to the track-worthy Elise creates a rare intersection of capability and simplicity. So when Lotus announced the limited-edition Exige S 260 Sport, it was difficult to imagine what was left to change without diluting the form.inline_mediumwraptextright25638293/reviews/driven/0912_lotus_exiges_260_sport0912_02_z+lotus_exigeS_260_sport+front_three_quarter_view.jpgTrue
