Not really digging it, hate the rear, like the front scoop

FlyinbySTi · 04-05-2007, 10:29 AM

sorry, only think I like there is the wing. The nose hasn't grown on me I guess. the scoop is fine I guess. I don't like the sweeping body line. I like things more ridged.

The interior looks like my girlfriend's 07 Mazda 3!

Spuncorpceo · 04-05-2007, 10:46 AM

GTO tailights + Corolla front = '05 FTW!

jaydow11 · 04-05-2007, 10:50 AM

Anyone know if there are changes to the power plant?

r12rex · 04-05-2007, 10:54 AM

The car overall looks ok. The rear reminds me too much of a Toyota Yaris and the overall shape looks too similar to a corolla.

*sigh* Take a closer look guys...the door has a frame around the window now as well! No fender flares...

The front looks good, but agree with many about the grill.

The least they can do is bring back the fenders. A lot of people are saying the STi will only be a 5 door, I hope they are wrong. I can't see an STi version doing the 5 door any justice. It looks absolutely horrible IMO.

The sedan is something that I can learn to like. I like the spoiler, tails, hood and scoop. But the grill and front bumper are nasty.

Camry front end+side sculpting like BMW+Kia back side=

The hood scoop looks like your supposed to put mail in it. Someone needs to call the car design

on the subaru design team.

They are completely throwing out the whole "Two Wheel Heights" rule of car design and, not only are they not doing anything to cover that up, they're EMPHASIZING it.

I'm so disappointed.

I didn't want to buy a used STI, but I may have to.

Anyone else keep expecting to see FORD written across those blue ovals? I KNOW! Subaru got their pictures mixed up with spy photos of the new ford focus!

i originally liked the idea of a hatch but now that im seeing acutal photos of the 08 im kind of disappointed. sedan version looks way too corollaish IMHO. and i agree bring back the fender flares... not enough aggression with this wrx... it needs to have less grocery getter look and more sass goddam it!

STI_SLC · 04-05-2007, 12:11 PM
