Now that it's official, I think the value for the pre-08 WRX & STIs just went up by $1 billion, trillion, zillion~

Subaru.com it's all flash so there's no real direct link.

I'm not diging it. Where are the fender flares? Let's hope the STI still retains the muscled look. It is looking like 2008 or 2009 might be the year I get an STI. But..

Seems like Subaru just can't find a good designer. I'm glad they gave that one-trick pony from Alpha the boot, but whoever this new guy is, he needs to loosen his tie a bit. Subaru really needs to realize that the reviewers will always hate on the more aggressive looks of cars like the WRX, but it's those looks that sell the cars. Maybe Subaru is trying to change the WRX's demographic? Seems like a bad move if they are.

Here's hoping the STI will still retain some of its WRC looks.

Still can't believe they dropped the fender flares...

They need to loose every bit of the chrome that is on the front end.

That granny-grill is the first thing to go. Even chickenwire would be an improvement. I think this new designer is a Chrysler drop-out.

I don't want to get a used car, so it might be Evo X for me. It's funny, the EVO starts looking better and Subaru starts looking plainer.

But then I'd have to get over my dislike of the EVO's AWD system and Mitsu's bad rep.

This is really sad to see honestly. I think some of the concept photos we saw were MUCH better looking. The grill is worse than the 06 blunder..
