NEW 2006 WRX STI pics! must see...

felo3769 · 05-30-2005, 10:27 AM

Well I must say, it doesnt look all that bad. Its not as nice as the current model, but I do like how they finally incorporated projectors into the headlghts. They should have kept the white on top on the rear taillights too. the big red band doesnt look nice.

eatV8 Edit: I just added the new pics from futher down the thread in with these... (Also added some other new ones)

Hmm, I really need to see it in person, Im still not sure about it...

import111 · 05-30-2005, 10:32 AM

I like the tail lights and the head lights. But I don't like the grill or the front lip very much at all. I hope it has more power to make up for getting worse looking.

Hmm...I don`t think I like it that much, but I need to see more pictures and hear info about if theres any upgrade in power. If it turns out to be decent, maybe I`ll wait for an 06.

Yuck.. glad I got an 05.

Change is always tough at first glance, but I dunno. I know the people involved and the circumstances surrounding the re-design, but I see too much Alfa Romeo for my tastes. I'm sure it will catch on though if power and handling is improved even a little.

that front end is fugly....

The tail lights look like crap.

The nose is odd looking, but seems to provide quite a bit more air flow to the radiator.

For some reason it reminds me of a pig

Having the scoop on hood really makes it look ugly though. Without the scoop it looks ok.

I'll have to see if it grows on me and I'd also like to hear the tech specs on it.

Mister E · 05-30-2005, 11:01 AM

Well, my eyes are set on a leftover '05 now.

Grunt · 05-30-2005, 11:05 AM
