i dont know about you guys but i think this concept looks mean as hell. Do you guys think will subaru ever come out with a 3 door hatch? or do you think it will just stay as a concept just to make us drool? i know if subaru were to bring this concept to production with the 2.5L turbo power plant they have i would buy it no questions asked. the only issue i have is that it looks a little too much like the euro WRC ford focus.
what do you guys think?

the silver STi looks beefy

I'd def prefer the 3-door hatch over the 5-door hatch. Although I'm going to reserve my final verdict until after I see what the sti looks like in person.

good point wrxneffect good point...

Saw the Sti in person last night. It looks way better than the WRX hatch but I"m still not a fan of the hatch look. I like the front and the interior is awesome. I still wouldn't buy one right off the bat. If they made a 2-door sedan I would buy one in an instant though.

i saw the new 08 STI in person. that 09 concept car looks about a billion times more aggressive than the new 08 STI.

i'd really rather spend my money on the concept car. :)

5 doors are pointless, just more unneccessary weight.

Really, how many times do you find yourself drving a full load of people? if they are your friends, then they can contort themselves thru a reclined seat, and if they are clients/boss then you need a different car!

^ i agree!

Spend some time in a Volvo C30, it is a killer 3-door hatch. The inside and out ergonomics put any Subaru marque to shame. A really nice little FWD.
