I'm no fan of the new one either...though that's what I wrote about the '06 and now I kind of like it.

I do remember that I always liked the Bug-Eye.

I'm sure someone will quickly come up with modifications to the parts we don't like (for me the grille).

 

Spec-wise, 2 inches shorter but 2 inches wider... nice! Ya it looks like a toyota, kia drunken love child but whatever. How will the STi perform is what I want to know. They really need a 3 door hatch tho, I mean it's not a family car, it shouldn't try to be. They want to compete against the euro hot-hatches it should be one itself, not some mid-way compromise.
