I agree, it looks way better than the hatch, but now it kind of reminds of a corrola.

jtom · 04-02-2007, 01:14 PM

Yea it does look like a corolla. Also it just doesnt look aggressive enough for me.

jtom · 04-02-2007, 01:16 PM

This is soo ugly:

I like the fact that you can play video games on your nav system. I dont think I would ever do that but its a nice thing to have.

The new double "U" RX. Should we call Subaru and tell them they will be loosing customers?

Quote:

On the spec sheet it reads as follows: 224 horsepower at 5,200 rpm and 226 lb. –ft of torque at a low, low 2,800 rpm. We’ve come to the conclusion that Subaru is artificially keeping the WRX low on power to make the Legacy GT look better.

Looks great if you're a Toyota Corolla, Mazda 3, or Geo Metro fan...

***///M Power*** · 04-02-2007, 01:23 PM

sedan > hatch but i am not a huge fan of either at this point

jtom · 04-02-2007, 01:25 PM

Yea the sedan is much better than the hatch but the sedan is still not great either. Looks like alot of people will probably buy only the sti or niether.

Is it me or is the rear window on the hatch pretty small?

SDomain · 04-02-2007, 01:26 PM

If the STi looks anything like the Sedan variant count me in for an 08 STi

BobDigi5060 · 04-02-2007, 01:26 PM

A lot better looking than the 5 door, it resembles a Corolla but is still halfway decent. This sedan may actually make me consider a new STi, I'll hold my breathe for a few days

jtom · 04-02-2007, 01:28 PM

I think the STI was only going to be a hatch.

AginorGotD · 04-02-2007, 01:28 PM

I am sooooooooooooo glad I got the '07. I was a little nervous about the '08 STi. And after driving a friend's 335Ci and hating the ****pit, I have no regrets getting the 07 STi Limited.

fullerton · 04-02-2007, 01:31 PM

i hope the STi get some fender flares and a different grill.

***ELD4AU6*** · 04-02-2007, 01:38 PM
