A friend of mine is at the press day for the New York International Auto Show and took these:

He will be updating this thread with more pics as he processes them:

It's starting to look better to me, but still I doubt I'll be buying one...

I do like the rear of the car, however the front grill is still terrible.

I know it will kinda grow on me as time goes by.... can't help but see the Sedan as a corolla and the hatch as a mazda 3.

I will tell you what they did get right, the new hood and scoop. I think that looks great.

The grill is an easy fix, and I am sure many of the suby fans who get one will be making changes to the grill asap.

I kinda like it now a little bit though. It will grow on people I think it is just hard to let go of the older chassis when you get used to them. But I don't see myself getting one. I will wait and see what the 08 sti looks like. The scoop looks like a larger version of that of the saab 9-2x.

i think it's starting to grow on me...i hope the sti model will be a bajillion times better

Keep it in mind though this is the sedan . . . soft styling but ehhh i guess. The Hatch is what erks me . . . also to know the STi won't be in a sedan . . . BOOOO

Sedan looks pretty good. Has anyone posted the measurements yet? I am curious to see if it is bigger than the current WRX

04__STi · 04-05-2007, 07:48 AM

The sedan look fine but the hatch is nasty....and the STi will be hatch!

LOLSTi · 04-05-2007, 08:05 AM

I like everything enough, except the PT Cruiser front end.

supermarkus · 04-05-2007, 08:19 AM

I know they're aiming at BMW as a performance goal, but forsaking the rugged, wide fender look in favor of this pseudo-flame surfaced slab sided crap is a step in the wrong direction if you ask me. I hope the STI has some character.

555BLACKOUT · 04-05-2007, 08:50 AM

Yeah my hopes in the STI as well....

bluebaru02 · 04-05-2007, 09:11 AM

It looks like a Suby, works for me.

Is there an STI at the show? are they holding off on releasing it?

supermarkus · 04-05-2007, 09:17 AM

the STI isn't supposed to be unveiled until later on this year at a different auto show. I forget which one.

Tortfeasor STi · 04-05-2007, 10:23 AM

Nope, still don't like it. Subarus look like tarted up camries in silver to begin with, but with the 08, its damn near identical. So lame.

straightouttajersey · 04-05-2007, 10:25 AM

if there wasn't a damn chrysler grill i think i'd like it..

It makes me sad to see that the WRX is still using the 5x100 hubs.
