Subaru WRX, top left and the BMW 240i above right. Compare the BMW 240i and the Subaru WRX to see how you prefer your fast chariot CASEY WILLIAMS | Auto ReviewerAutoCasey@aol.com Only in an alternate universe would the all-new Subaru WRX seem, femme with its bulging hood, wide wheels and rolling thunder exhaust note.
