I like it but my initial thoughts are: Why would 04-07 owners trade up for this one? I don't see any reason.

It is nice but nothing ground breaking here. I'm still very satisfied with my 04.... the only way Subaru could get me to buy a new STi would be a radical aggressive design or came with 50hp more. Don't get me wrong, the suspension bits and wheels are nice, I'm sure it's great for people new to the STi.... but it's still the same ol STi to me.

 

pretty much... this will happen until there is a new design that we like!

 

So.. what changed again?

 

haha seriously. I remember the uproar when the 06 model came out.

I've learned to love all of the models over time except the 08+ sedans. I... can't... do it..

 

I remember when the bugeye debuted. I thought "WTF" that may have good power and handling for the money, but man what a "buttahface". Yeah, what have I owned over the last 6 years, yep bugeye.

That said I do like it, but I think I like the sedan better with the WRX wing instead. Not like we've never scene trunk/wing swaps before.

The biggest offender of the WRX gene pool for me would be the 08/09 sedan, but even that some nice wheel a subtle lip and an appropriate drop and it's not so offensive.

 

after 6 yrs it still only has 305hp...

subaru should have bumped power up to 350hp+.

^^ That girl said "I will trade my limited for this car."

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

 

+1, since when has Subaru been known for their aesthetically pleasing designs???

people just buy them, and love their versions, and bag on the other designs.

Look at it this way, like a stoplight's colors, the designs will keep changing. Just buy one when you like the color/design!

 

I like it, will have to see in person... The old RS color is "blue ridge" is alright, but I would still want WRB. The guy in the youtube video say "they have addressed complaints, made it more comfortable..." My old adage is 'comfortably and performance are not bed fellows' still applies. But nothing a set of coilovers wont fix!

 

They need to make an STI wagon option. I'd love to have a little more space without having to move to the crossover sized legacy. Always liked the wagons with wheel flares, forgive me for my rough rendition . . .

 

me likey the sedan.

hope it comes with a rear window wiper though...

 

wtf? No antenna or rear wiper on your wagon?

I think that looks ****in dope, though.

 

i just received email notification from subaru about new 2011 sti unveiled...
