Lightbulb The 2008 Wait For The STI.

The longer I wait, the more I wish this was the product coming our way! A two door hatch ~

Anyone care to create a poll as to which STI they would buy???
Nevermind, done: Vote away my boys and girls!!! https://www.i-club.com/forums/showth...44#post2000044

By comparison, the bottom one is laughable ~

yeah, but he was also implying a "wait" for the STI. My point is that the wait is over. If you don't like it, keep waiting for that retarded rendering to come to fruition. Crying about 2 vs. 5 doors and making a poll isn't going to help.

Really, people need to get over it. I remember the screams and groans when the bug-eye gave way to the 2004 models. My only complaint about the real STI (not those boxy renders) is that the no-bumper rear makes it look like a Toyota Matrix. I can't believe Subaru is finally going to ship a car with not one, but TWO sets of wheels that I am not ashamed to see on the car!! The wheels for 02-07 were terrible (excluding the rare BBS), but these look quite nice.

Hey does anyone know if Subaru is offering different colors for the "TWO sets of wheels" options. (i.e. does the rims come in gold??)

Not impressed. The 22B was the best Subaru ever made. 2.2L, DCCD, 2700lbs, 2-Door. Why can't they just go retro and make this thing in full production. Here's one for sale in Ireland: http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/180251.htm
