It's the Only STI where, instead of being called a fanboi, you're bestowed the title "rally enthusiast"
The most desirable Subaru? Perhaps the 1998 Impreza 22B STI. Only 424 were built, with the rally-influenced model celebrating the brand’s 40th anniversary.

I loved these cars so much until I owned a few wrxs and stis, then it wore off quite a bit. I drove a saabaru the other day, made me really miss my bugeye, interesting that that is the one that sticks with me not the stis. Somehow the 2.0 was a little more endearing and the stylish and aesthetics were less cartoonish to me.

But the 22B was a super rare version of the GC, not the big fat GD, which was more or less a Legacy in dimensions. (Subaru is nothing if not pragmatic, they reuse parts as much as possible)
That added wheelbase kills the feel, and the GCs were a lot lighter too. This is most of why GC 2.5RSs are worth more than any GD short of the STi.

Okay, true. And I have that one at home, too. :)

I just bought that recently, it reminded me of Subarust.
