I'm torn. A sedan STi will probably bring more sales to Subaru, which is good.

What worries me is that the sedan might bring in the very same young FnF crowd that the hatch and non-existent-huge-wing seemed to have repelled. No offense to the GD folks, I'm sure you know what I mean.


Either way, this will probably ruin my plans of selling my '08 next month....LOL

I hope it looks good, but either way if it still has 305hp whats the point?

I had a Porsche guy on Saturday tell me my "Civic" was nothing like his Boxster.

Thanks F&F.

And he drives a Boxster??? No offense to other boxster owners, but I don't think a Boxster is even a real Porsche. More like a watered down little roadster than I see lots of women driving.

I don't think he has to grounds to even say anything about subaru's when his car isn't much better.

Ya, but then compare it to a 911.
Now THAT'S a Porsche in my opinion.

This is just my opinion, but just the price tag isn't what makes it a Porsche. When I think of a Porsche, I think of a 911 (or the carrera GT) and anything less than that is just what my dad always said, "a poor man's Porsche." Even though he never had one.

Find a 2001 Used Boxster. Look at the price tag. Its not a real Porsche. Take it to a mechanic, not a real Porsche.

True, also the engine is in a weird place and cooled with some sort of alien substance.

Meh, would you rather have Porsche change their name to "911 Rear Engine Air Cooled Corp." ?


.... don't answer that

Sedan pics are out.

The front fascia seems a little cluttered (note, this is coming from a 08 STi owner), but every other angle looks pretty nice.

I really really hope they do something crazy/wack for the 2011 STi.
