yes that is an older one now, but agree it isn't all bad

***VSGTS14*** · 01-22-2007, 01:15 PM

man i won't believe anything until subaru released the info on their website or at an auto show.

5 door FTL, gonna be heavy..
if it's 3 door like a peugoet or however you spell it, that would be sick nasty.

Opel Creates 192-hp Corsa OPC Subcompact

This doesn't look all that bad... 5dr. has nothing to do with making it heavier, the whole move to a hatchback was to be more competitive in wrc trim

5 door is going to extend the frame, etc and add a bit more weight.

it all depends on how they design it.

with less overhang on either end not being a bad thing.

as you said before, just wait and see what happens.

the thing that will add the most weight is the continual "need" to be safer (aka heavier).

***VSGTS14*** · 01-24-2007, 04:14 PM

hopefully there's a good power to weight ratio.
we'll all know soon.

Still too early to tell, wait till the official pics and specs comes out. I guess Subaru wants to really compete with Citroen & Peugot in WRC to bring in a hatchback version. BTW, the pic is not that bad

The 2008 STi will be on a Legacy chasis. It will only offered in a 5-door hatch (not wagon.) The 2008 WRX with be available in a sedan or hatch as well as the 2.5i's. The STi has a completely different look compared to the wrx's and 2.5i's unlike previous years. i work for subaru and this is confirmed.

What the hell, why would they build it on the Legacy chassis, it'd be too big and heavy.
