I didn't expect too much. I just wanted to see it first hand. I'm not a big fan of the hatch, but its starting to grow on me.

I really like the new STI , now that I saw it in person. Interior is really nice, the doors all shut quietly like a Euro car. I'd rock it, for sure! It definitely doesn't photograph as well as it looks in person.

Yeah I dont think they promoted this well enough, there should have been alot more people there if they put this out better. Also dince it was from 6-12 thats a bit too big of a window for people to filter in, if it were a 2 hour window we could have organized a proper meet, oh and pizza is always a good marketing tool

The STi is really growing on me like a virus! I liked it when I first saw it in pics when it was first unveiled, but seeing it in pics like these (real pics) I like it more and more! The front fenders are pure sex! Everything about them is great!

Only things that bug me are the chrome bits in the grill (they need to be removed or painted black) and the rear tail lights... :-\.. I'd also lower it and then it'd be sweeeeeeeeeeeeet!

Wish I could have went... Busy with work and family.

Also forgot to mention:

How can the STi look that much better than the standard WRX?! It's like night and day difference. The standard WRX still isn't my thing and I doubt it will ever be... I want to see what they have in store in the next couple years down the line... Hopefully it's more STi-esq.

I was looking at people's faces to see if there was anyone I know, but did not recognize. You should have said something as well. I was hoping to run into people I met.

Anyhow, next time.

I was surprised how much lip is on the rear fenders. It was about 2" no joke. You're going to be able to fit some HUGE tires on there if you roll those things.

Free karting is always fun too.

Overall we racked up $100 worth of free karting. It was so worth the trip. The free stuff was of good quality as well. My favorite are the cameras. I feel bad there wasn't a better turn out though.
