The EVO X's interior has a cabin neon glow, a little stripe of light if you will.

Rice?

I think that was just for show. I dont think that is going to make it to production. I could be wrong though.

Don't shoot me but I subscribe to MT so I am anxiously waiting to see if it is in there. Someone on Nabisco said it wasn't. I didn't read the other 15 pages to see if anyone else said if it was in or not so I could be wrong.

I'm also going to wait until April 5th, to make a judgement.

This generation is really important for Subaru, old competitors and new alike have either caught up or surpassed us, despite the wrx being the only car on the market in this class a few years ago.

Looking on the bright side, the car looks okay, I mean it's not the best, but it could be a lot worst.

Even if it really looks like that, if Subaru improved the car in every aspect (hp increase, better interior, better steering/handling, etc.) then I guess I would be okay with it. Designs tend to grow on me.

But, if that is the design and there are no performance improvements, then if I ever buy another Subaru, it'll be a Legacy GT Spec B.

The funny thing to me is how Subaru has the balls to say, "a legend will be reborn". If this is the case then it's time for an abortion.

I just can't believe that they would do such a good job of keeping it a secret, and let it leak like that just a few weeks before unveiling. I'm just hoping it is just a mock up.

Let's just keep our fingers crossed.

I honestly don't mind it. Once the STI version is shown, all agressive with big wheels, fenders, styling etc., opinions might change.

You guys are hilarious

I will tell you this, if you even care to believe me... this is very close to the real deal.... I see some minor changes compared to the pics I saw but there may be room for some other minor changes before the release so; it is what it is. I personally think they went 'conservative' on the design since introducing a new 5 door hatch is a stepping stone for them.

The STi will be distinctive, trust me
I'm really looking forward to the actual release. These are obviously still "touched" photos, so we'll see.

But, maybe I'm the odd one out. I thought the 06's with the new front end looked way better than the 04/05's. Way more agressive....
We'll see.
