One of the things I like about the hatch design. When the seats are down it looks like a nice flat even surface with good space.

Theres two things in my mind that besides hauling stuff and fitting ski's in there that is great about that.

1. You can make babies or at least practice back there.

2. If you have found that you have consumed to much alcohol or other mind altering molecules you can hide your keys in the bushes and crash in the back. Ive slept in my Forestor a few times.

This is probably most appealing to younger drivers but an advantage in my mind.

As much as I hated the Hatch before and said that I would never get one... I am starting to see the advantages of the hatch.

Also, it was a very marginal victory convincing the wife my 06 STI was a "family" car! However, she has said that she would "way more approve" of the new STI because it's a hatch....

That's the only thing that has me thinking! Wife approval is 99% of the battle when you are married! lol

However, I'll have to drive one and maybe wait until the 09's come out as it usually is never a good idea to buy the first year of a major makeover!

I practiced making babies in my 06 last night on the way home.. I no need a hatch for that!

I'd still take an 08 though if something happened to my 06.

my car is for driving, and i would rather drive than practice sexytime in the car, driving provides almost the same pleasure. afterall, its what makes a subaru a subaru!!

This isnt exclusive to hatchbacks. Where there's a will, there's a way

Thats true but a charley horse as coitus interuptus is a real drag. and in regular cars you tend to put yourself in charley horse positions if your the one driving so to speak.

I am also going to assume that you can take out the rear seats for even more room.

don't think so. Most hatches just fold down. It certainly would be nice for those looking for weight reduction!

what i want to know is, how come there are no shots of the rear door open? and with the seats folded down? ive been dying to see this, yet no shots at all!

and the TS about the crashing in the back- Thats my plan man, perhaps with a few lady friends also. lol. shaggin wagon is back!!!

There are some shots floating around with all the pics out there of it. Its real flat when the seats are down. or at least it appears that way in the pic. It appears even flatter then when the seats are down in my forrestor for example.

i practice making babies in my 06 too, no need for a hatch

Don't forget the super tinted windows in the back! Privacy is important for going all out.
