I voted "I don't have an STi, but would not buy one without the fenders"

I've loved the look of every STi to date, however, the 08/09 is the only body style I'd trade my car in for if I could afford to purchase one. Every other body style I'd be willing to own in addition to my bugeye, but not instead of. Without those fender flares though, it wouldn't look early as aggressive/awesome.

I hope Subaru is reading this! I can't wait to see what the face lift is going to look like. They typically do one every 2 years, so next year's is due for a face lift.

You know what would be awesomely AWESOME? Is if they added the old large fog lights in the front! Thats one thing I've been disappointed in subaru for... Is moving away from the rally car look and making the cars look more main stream. The new WRX sedan doesn't even look like an Impreza at all... It looks waaaaaay too civilized and main stream... Kinda like a corolla or something. The whole appeal of the impreza aside from its peformance was the unique rally inspired styling cues.

They need to fire some people in the design dept... or whoever is responsible for this sort of thing!

PS: At least the new WRX hatch has some aggressive styling to it, like the hood and stuff, so you can still tell it's a subie...

The base model Impreza hatch looks like crap! It doesn't look anything like an Impreza and is def by far the ugliest impreza to date... Not to mention that it's the heaviest and slowest to date.
