I know to be a subie lover you have to love all years. However, I really dont like what subie did with the 08 wrx or sti. It just doesnt look right. I havent seen a thread like this yet so I am wondering what other people think. I think the interior is beautiful. The outside however is lacking

DO you like how the 2008 Subaru WRX/STI looks?

Very simple. Lets see what everyone thinks.

Me, I vote NO!

Love the 2008 STi.

Now dont get me wrong, my 2004 STi is great but if I had the extra disposable income, I would get rid of it for an 08 STi in a heartbeat. 300hp wagon FTW !!

Same here I like the hatch.

I keep mistaking the mazdaspeed 3 in my apartment complex as the new STI's. That and the ones I usually see park near safeway as I head down to campus.

Everyone loved the 06's and 07's dude. A lot of people hate the 08's look at the poll i started.

https://www.i-club.com/forums/showthread.php?t=182658

And if you werent an enthusiast why would you be on a forum about these cars. Yes i am a real enthusiast, but yes i hate the 08's body style. And no not only "enthusiast" wave to each other cuz i see everyone out there (mainly north bay cuz thats all i drive) waving to each other. Unless its an 08 im passing everyone waves. The 08's are the only ones i never see wave. i have heard this from many people. Maybe its cuz they are new to the community, and thats fine. But for those who have been previous owners thats no excuse. Where is the team spirit huh. Maybe we could be considered a cult of some sort. We arent as crazy as the Bimmer people, but we have our fair share of die-hard fans.

I think subaru will lose a lot of sales with the look of the 08's and I will be ashamed to related to the 09 if what I saw is really gonna be what it looks like.

I don't like the way they redesigned the STi. I hope they change it again and this time with a nicer looking design.

this is what i originally posted

Congrats on your guys Scooby's. I still think they are ugly but to each thier own. One thing I noticed and maybe you guys can get on your fellow 08 owners.

NO SUBIE WAVE MAN WTF 08's
You see another subie owner give a wave or a nod or something. DOnt think you are better than us cuz you have a newer, yet uglier, subaru. I love all subies but i think the 06-07 are the best looking ones.

See my car @ www.cardomain.com/id/irish_car_b0mb

SO as of right now until they change thier attitude towards fellow subie owners, I think they are not one of us.
