not that bad but i don't like rear bumper style with exhuats. i would like if it put exhuats on middle like new gt3, or lambo murg...., not r32. it look ugly from r32. so better like new gt3 or lambo murg.. or even buagtti veryon

All of those cars are rear and mid-engine cars. Much easier to plumb three feet than ten or fifteen for a front-engine car.

I am no expert in aerodynamics but doesn't that rear wing seem redundant on a hatchback? In fact, it appears as though it would be ineffective altogether given the positioning of the spoiler on top of the rear window. It looks like the window spoiler would diffuse the air underneath the top of the rear spoiler. Regardless, with the shape of the roof, it doesn't even seem like much air would hit the rear spoiler. Any thoughts?

Also, being that the spoiler completely encircles the rear windshield, does that mean that the rear windshield is about a foot tall, or that the spoiler is like 2.5 feet tall?!! And it does look like the little lip above the rear windshield would guide the air over the top of the wing. I know this is just a concept, but the concept a few posts back that shows this exact car in black without the wing makes way more sense aerodynamically.

I will stick to my 2005 for now, to me it looks better.

Mehhh....
Just not a fan of the 5 door hatch look.
No worries......
Not like I was going to trade up anyway.
WHo knows maybe Subaru has an ace up their sleeve.

Too bad......

Oh well even more reason to love my 06 STI.

Hey I heared the 08 STI is going to be a hatchback???? Anyone know about this and what is the consenus on it. I think it is a bad idea to have the hatchback. I think it will ruin it.

I am very content with my 06' but the hatchback would definitely make me think about trading in. The STI is following the Rally trend while the EVO seems tobe going after more of the street racer type. It makes sense to me.
