You also need to consider that from a journalistic POV the XR5T is the current media darling so naturally Wheels would have been salivating at the bit to get ANYTHING to press.

I quite like the comparo and think it's relevant, i have an XR6T and know how that feels. It's interesting to see how they think it compares to it... pure and simple. Final proof will obviously be when i get behind one and have a flap around..

That would be a good idea, but then youll always get someone saying that the mag comparos are biased,dodgy or any other comment to take credit away. Ussuall comments like (i own a wrx and i can tell u there is no way the xr5t is better). :

I thought it was an awesome read and would hate to wait till the end of the year to hear how this little beauty goes :eclipsee_
