Default A Solid Disappointment -- 08 STi

A Solid Disappointment
Saw the STi in person today and I must say I was disappointed. From the prior photos I saw of the vehicle through different Subaru media outlets I was excited about the vehicle and thought this was the car that would keep me in the Subaru game... I was wrong. Blah.... Blah... Blaaaaaaa!

Fine by me, just makes it that much sooner I'll be able to get one.

Thanks for the pics, it looks good to me, I think I prefer those wheels to the five spokers. A set of springs, a little Cobb tuning and single tip exhaust cans and I'll be content with that, except it will need to be WRB or white. Oops, and some red tails, those are terrible.

LightWerkz, is your M3 Alpine White or Ti Silver? I love the Imola interior with either of those, it's a great combo. I do wish that the STi had some sort of interior color option.

Titanium Silver with IR interior. The white with red is also a very nice option...

But thanks for the compliment, It really makes the car

Well I can honestly say it looks a lot better in dark gray/silver than it does in WRB! Definitely! In fact, I'm going to go as far to say the front of the car actually looks GOOD, as long as you get rid of that silver chrysler grill piece, or at least black it out. But as soon as you hit the rear, UGH! Damn its ugly in the rear. But I can honestly say the front looks good in this color........
