What's everyone up in arms about sedans for? What does it matter?

If it outguns the current STI, I'm going to want it in whatever body style is offered. Hatches/wagons are more convenient anyway.

There's 4 doors and cargo room. Why does it matter if the cargo goes in a hatch or a sedan. Are people scared that a hatch will make the owner look juvenial? Sedan or not, the STI is a juvenial car so who cares?

the front of the sti hatch does look better than the front of the wrx/2.5i hatch because of the fog light covers, makes it more than just a flat surface (which is all the front of the wrx looks like...too bland) however I dont like the body itself, and that wing looks hideous. Looks like a mini tribeca with a oversized diffuser and an eBay wing.

However, I will be looking forward to reading the article

EDIT: just read that thats still a concept

yeah...but if it looks more like this it's not so bad...the flares help A LOT. it was terrible before.


the mini tribeca dead one. The flares move away from that a bit.

I actually kinda like the spoiler. Reminds me of the nicer spoon/cf ones for the 92/95 civic hatches. I predict a CF one coming out with a quickness.

With a few more tweaks it could be decent.





me being a wagon owner and fan am happy theirs an sti wagon....it's not any more a hatch than my wagon is...... haaa. But it should still be sedan available.

They should have learned from honda. How long did the hatch only Si last...one year???? now it's sedan only...wtf...

it'd be a true hatch at that point.....right now it's a wagon pretending to be a hatch.

All three of the above are wagons/hatches.
SoA has dropped the Legacy wagon from its lineup for '08+.

if it's half as nice as the tribeca inside with a sporty twist it'll be a winner for sure.
