"We tested - and retested - it as barreling to 60 MPH in a blistering 4.7 seconds"

For years, the Subaru WRX has been one of the world's least pretentious performance buys. In either sedan or hatchback trim, the car has presented itself as a conservative economy car. Excepting a conspicuous hood scoop, there really was very little to hint to the fact that the Japanese creation packs a turbocharged flat-four cylinder with a serious punch as well as a world-class all-wheel drive system. Honed from years of experience in the World Rally Championship, the WRX was a prize fighter wrapped in a nun's habit. But you can forget all that. For 2011, the WRX has ditched the black robe for a string bikini, flaunting some serious haunches in the process. Meanwhile, the car's big brother ? the WRX STI ? has been fitted with a completely reworked suspension and an all-new four-door body style.
