No info has been released yet, except that the vehicle will debut at the Detroit Auto Show in January. Only rumors and speculation are out there right now.

You also have to realize that these guys are really good at masking the vehicle sometimes. They will take out windows and other glass/plastic pieces, dent door panels and add extra bits of plastic before they start the masking. they also put on wheels that will most likely not end up on the production vehicle for the same reasons. The spy photos can only show the basic shape, not the refined details.

If you are interested, the concept sketch is available on Subaru of America's website.

Unfortunately, all new Subarus will have the new "corporate face" with the quasi Alfa snout pretty soon, starting with the 06 model year.

If thats the case, then I don't think I will get a new STi after college.

I've read that, too. Terrible move, imho. It's very ugly.

Oh the humanity

We were looking to get something bigger now that the kids are growing. I guess it's gonna be another OB later down the road. I will try to reserve judgment till I see it in the flesh but I don't know.
