LOOKING GREAT! Suby has always been on the fringe of design since I got my first in 1980. A AWD hatchback, and have never looked back. I will buy, if I can wait!!!!!!!

Off hand comment, but I have seen pictures and drawings of EVO X (Ten) and I like the look a lot better than the evo now, it looks more refined. Has anyone else out there seen it ?

so ugly

the front end looks alot like a Seat. I think i looks pretty cool. but not really like a Subie. But hey the Sti looked a little funky to me when i first saw it

-rich

that thing is so damn ugly.

I'm glad I bought when I did. There go my dreams of upgrading to an STI in 06/07.

sheesh. so ugly I'm almost pissed.

man that is one ugly subaru

I just wanna know when cars finally flying!!!

I like that better but it makes it look like a Mercedes-Benz or BMW But I do like that better than the prototype . . .

Rush

I didn't like the prototype at all at first. But now it's really starting to grow on me after looking at it for a few days. I say go for it subaru. Does anyone else notice that they put a mesh opening for cooling on the hood right in front of the air scoop though? Talk about sucking in hot air! That they definitly have to change...

I'm one of many viewers on i-Club.com that seriously think you are
going the wrong way with the new look for the STi. A picture of an Auto
News Weekly magazine was photochopped (Edited in Photoshop) for how the
grill could improve your sell rate, on a visual basis

I dont get why they would keep the 4 dr model? wouldnt a 2 door STI be more appealing all around?

Good Question... My response to that would be,
I think they may want to keep it a 4D to stay in the competition with the evo and other 4dr sport cars..
But then again thats just my take on it ..

Ps: even though if it was a 2dr(Brought it over) the Dynamics/competition would change with its rivals being the 350z, Porsche, Etc..

There are plenty of people that want a 4dr sports car.

Thats not to say they could offer a 2dr and 4dr models, but they shouldn't eliminate the 4dr altogether.

This is true.. I remember when My 4DSC was the Maxima.. and was in love with it ..lol

Variety is good :) so yeah both models would be a great asset

i love the coupe:)... itd be awesome with the current STi motor and drivetrain

better than an 06. hell, girls might not even make fun of it.

hahaha i have seen pictures of body kits for the 06s and as predicted they REMOVED the front grill, and it looks like a decent car!

I think the 06 STi is one the better looking Imprezas to date. I even like the grill. At first I wasn't thrilled but it has grown on me.

I got tired of looking at the goddamn RHD headlight thread.

LOL^ agreed

yeah alex made it though so i kinda wasnt too tiered of it

resurrected!?

resurrected!?
no a change of scenery

paul has a PM

after reading all the posting before the 06/07s came out i wonder if these people have changed there minds about thinkin the 06/07s are ugly. I love my 06 sti.
