Default pics/vid of the 2008 wrx --ny auto show & more

it looks too fluffy, imo. hopefully they'll figure out some way to retain the sti's mean factor.

it's not made to be a sports car, it's something anyone can buy and enjoy it.

Has anyone found any good shots of the WRX seats. In the above autoblog posts you can see that the seats in the WRX have integrated headrests but look FRIGHTENINGLY like the current seats. Anyone have any info on the WRX seats. This is not to say the STI will carry them over but I wouldn't be surprised in the least if they just recovered wrx seats again. Huge cost savings. Anyway, can someone point me to some pics of the WRX interior, specifically the seats.

just saw pics of the interior over on nasioc and uhhh yep same awful seats. Literally the same exact seats as the outgoing model. How boooooooring. I know it's the WRX and the STI could have different seats but uh I'll believe it when i see it.

Default Pics from the Auto Show Enjoy!!!

Here are some pics of the WRX 4 door from the 2007 New York International Auto Show.
To me the new design tries to make the car look more like a luxury car on the outside with no help on the interior.








Here are some pics of the 5 door. Multiple Subaru people at the show said that the company is leaning toward this for the 2008 STI.

I don't like the grille but I am liking the wagon. I think I looks way better than the sedan. PLus the seats look good (from what I could see) and I like the rear diffuser.

Yah, the STi scoop should be like that but more aggressive.
