The blue STi I could buy, if it had a significant boost in horsepower over the older ones.
But the regular WRX or any of the lower models, I just shudder. The grill is so horrid! And the altezzas are ghey.

I dunno. I really like the front of the STi, especially with the built in lip.
But the wagon - I'm really not liking the front. Bigger fogs is better but it looks like every other japanese car front bumper now, and the wagon's rims are horrible - look like honda rims and the sedan rims on the poster look even worse - more like my old corolla hubcaps. Altezzas suck. It's strange, I think the new front grille works pretty well with the STi, but for some reason, the same grille looks bad on the wagon. Dunno, the wagon bumper is just *missing* something...

Exactly why my wife and I fight over who gets to drive the suby and who gets to drive the EVO when it rains .

...i used to think the bugeyes were the ugliest thngs ever, now i own one and think they are the nicest imprezas to date.
...i used to think the bugeyes were the ugliest thngs ever, now i own one and think they are the nicest imprezas to date.To me, It looks like they didn't know what to design, an impreza or a Legacy, so they just combined them.
From a design aspect it's ugly as hell, but I'm sure the performance is awesome.
Well, to each his own.
The outside is so drastically done...what about the interior? Why didn't they do anything with that? It almost looks like they've toned it down even more the the 2004-2005 STi's. I also hate the second spoiler on the roof what is that?
