Off hand comment, but I have seen pictures and drawings of EVO X (Ten) and I like the look a lot better than the evo now, it looks more refined. Has anyone else out there seen it ?

I like that better but it makes it look like a Mercedes-Benz or BMW But I do like that better than the prototype . . .

I didn't like the prototype at all at first. But now it's really starting to grow on me after looking at it for a few days. I say go for it subaru. Does anyone else notice that they put a mesh opening for cooling on the hood right in front of the air scoop though? Talk about sucking in hot air! That they definitly have to change...

My response from SOA about the new look:


Dear Sascha:

Thank you for your e-mail with comments about the new look for the
Impreza WRX STi model. We appreciate that you took the time to give us
your comments. We will forward them to our Product Planning Department
for their future consideration.

In the past, input from our owners has been helpful in initiating

YOUR ORIGINAL MAIL:

I'm one of many viewers on i-Club.com that seriously think you are
going the wrong way with the new look for the STi. A picture of an Auto
News Weekly magazine was photochopped (Edited in Photoshop) for how the
grill could improve your sell rate, on a visual basis

I dont get why they would keep the 4 dr model? wouldnt a 2 door STI be more appealing all around?

Good Question... My response to that would be,
I think they may want to keep it a 4D to stay in the competition with the evo and other 4dr sport cars..
But then again thats just my take on it ..

Ps: even though if it was a 2dr(Brought it over) the Dynamics/competition would change with its rivals being the 350z, Porsche, Etc..

There are plenty of people that want a 4dr sports car.

Thats not to say they could offer a 2dr and 4dr models, but they shouldn't eliminate the 4dr altogether.

This is true.. I remember when My 4DSC was the Maxima.. and was in love with it ..lol

Variety is good so yeah both models would be a great asset
