My wife pondered a Blackwing CT6 for a little while before ultimately deciding to go with a Yukon again...We picked up a nicely depreciated 2018 CT6 for my wife to drive this past December.

I’ve had 3 different GD/GG WRXs and been in the suby club for over a decade. Was my buddy’s aitoX mechanic for his Nationals STI. Love them. But. Their interiors are absolutely horrible for the price point. Everything else is top notch. An STi tuned is a sick little beast but I just can’t stand how cheap they are inside.The STI still holds its value better than the others in its class. I own my STI outright and bought it new in early Summer of 2016. It has been a great car but only has 18,500 miles on it during that time frame. I would love to have been able to buy a 2007 STI new when they were out because of the light weight, inter cooler sprayer and what not giving up on the tech side of things.
On Bring a Trailer, old STIs with low miles still bring 25-26 grand. I love the fact that they do not depreciate below a certain threshold kind of like Raptors do to an extent.

Yep it is Subarus halo car and they have a full rally race team in the USA. The team is made up of former Nascar drivers. The Sti has Recaros and some cool touches but at the end of the day it shares switches and pieces with the wrx and impreza. If you want fit and finish then get a benz or an audi but I like the STIs and it like the Raptor is one vehicle I have owned two examples of each.
Eventually I would love to get a GTR but for a 120 grand vehicle it feels cheap interior wise as well. I think you are basically buying the mechanics with the STI or the GTR. Most people race them kind of have to be careful buying a used STI or GTR. Probably need to use care in buying a used Raptor as well these days.
This is The first post from you that I have seen that even remotely makes any type of logical sense and I agree with for the most part . Just from personal experience I don't enjoy vipers1000% - and for some people that’s how they want it in terms of going after the most bang for the buck when it comes to tangible performance features. That’s why I prefer cars like the GTR, STI, C5 & C6 corvette Z06s, viper ACR, Porsche GT2 GT3 etc. interior ain’t why people buy a Ferrari (least not people worth talking about) - people buy a Ferrari to experience the glorious mechanical concerto- and the rich buttery soft leather interior is just the icing on the cake.
I want my sports cars raw & unapologetic I’ll take my luxury & GT cars w/ a lil manners tho
