Are they really going back to 5x100? That's really odd - and I'm not quite sure why, since 5x114.3 is way friendlier for after market wheel fitments.

I was referring to the STi after 04, they were all 5x114.3, don't see why they would change back.

Man, it's going to take me a really friggin long time to get used to this thing.


Also, it does NOT have dual exhaust! It has dual mufflers! One single mid-pipe that goes into two mufflers!

Much like the older acura TL's. It is NOT dual exhaust.

It's not going to suck for me since I will not be caught dead in that thing! Not only do I hate the looks, I hate everything they have done with it! Engine, exterior, under body, EVERYTHING!

The interior I don't hate, it's comparable to the current WRX.

Subaru did a really good job at f'ing themselves with this abortion of a subie.

Who works for their design team!? I honestly would love to sit in on one of their meetings just to see what goes through their friggin' minds!!!

All they care about is how well the car will sell. Thats their number one priority (pleasing the hardcore subie addicts is not their main goal)...and I think it will sell great.


I personally love the new design and cant wait for the STi, it will be sick. Maybe in 2010 I can find a really good deal on a used STi wagon (ok "hatch" ). I cant justify buying new, its a horrible decision financially speaking
