Well, I thought I'd lay out some frustrations don on the table and see what you guys might think. I sold my rex last year with plans on getting an STi, but put things on hold when I heard about the hatch. Today I went and looked at the '08 wrx hatch and sedan and to be honest, I'm very displeased. I think the exhaust did it for me, It's a mess down there! not to mention the "plastic" intake manifold bleh! The more and more I look at my current situation I think to myself, do i proceed in doing the subaru thing again, or go another route, I have been looking at DeLoreans lately. and as far as my "fast" goes, I bought a motorcycle in november to keep me from running my truck into the ground, anyways, thought I would share.

 

bobby, just pick up a blobeye STi..James is selling his STi..Give him a ring dude.

i'm glad that i'm not the only one that threw up a lil when i saw it.

 

i went to the servco dealer to pick up a job application for my friend & my g/f was like look at how ugly the new wrx is! ive seen pics and just looked at it once. Didnt take another look at it since...fugly

 

hey bobby, i'm sellin my sti. nudge nudge

i'm with you on the 08 impreza tho, not really doin it for me. though the pics i've seen of the new wrc sti look pretty sweet. hopefully most of that carries over into the production model.

Just make sure the Flux Capacitor is in working order before jumping into this purchase!!

 

^^ Nice Francis! :P Adding to the topic, the wife and I just got a LGT from servco and I was looking at the new WRXs and I think they are gonna have to find a new base of people to buy these things cause they just look horrible. The sedan isnt too bad, but the hatch just looks like a Mazda 3 with a Saab hood scoop. Just my $.02 though.

 

shaggs told me you guys got that car. Btw, he also said you moved? Oh and Azama's is closing down, the son doesn't want to take over the biz.

 

-1 for the new Impreza. Sedan and a hatch......I'm guessing there's no plans for a real wagon?

 

Never had a chance to see the new 08's.

I hear they did away with the coolant temperature gauge? Only has a warm up light?

I believe the Scion xB (not sure about the xA or tC) has this type of setup. Start car, wait until light goes out, then drive.

 

I, too, was disappointed after seeing the pix and reading the reviews, but after seeing the WRC concept I think the STI hatch has potential. I've always loved the Pugeot 206 WRC cars wing and now that's an option. As for stock though,

 

i 've seen these running around now in japan...... i almost threw up!...(vurp)..... i have been looking at the 06 STI wagons, they are looking good at the moment.....or even the STI forester's. WOW i love this place......

i could get use to the WRC look but the THE TAILLIGHTS GOT TO GO!!!!! i say they bring back the old school look! whos with me?
