I'm opening a new thread where people can get info about the new model. The old thread has served it's purpose, but it's basically 36+ pages of conjecture and photoshops.
Only officially released info and pics here, please. -- Ray
full fold down seats in the sadan, nicer interior and no ugly key hole on the trunk. it seems more roomy in the back seat, but over all its not thaat bad. i could live with it. just interested in seeing how it performs.
I think this is the first time i find myself liking the looks of the hatch better than the sedan version:thumbdown.
subi if your listening, strike up another vote here for not liking the way your going about this whole styling thing........If i wanted an ugly toyota i buy one. One guy said something about where the fender flares went. I agree subi, where did they go???
With more new cars coming out in the short future from other car companys, to me theres not really anything about this new subie stands out from the rest. Common subi you can do better than this......
Is any of this info concrete yet? I wouldnt be surprised if they kept the td04 and just massaged the AVCS a tad bit to get that torque. Doesnt the vf-40 flow more then the td04? How are they getting a larger turbo to spool so much faster then the insta spool td04?
Has any magazine/site/reviewer (professionals, not forum posters like us) said that they think the looks of the '08 are a huge improvement over the looks of the previous years, even a bit of an improvement? I would be interested to hear their reasoning...
if they do say it looks better, their opinion is NOT shared by me.
And i think they must be either gay or a mom...
*no offense intended to anyone, just commenting on style and demographic*
imo, i'd be embarassed to drive the 08, HOWEVER if someone like BigSky were to be driving it with the earlier spool and weight reduction and improved suspension, there'd be nothing embarassing about destroying people on the track
should be pretty nice, I'll just need to see the styling before i say anything. If somebody made an 800HP AWD pinto with full coilover setup, I probably wouldn't drive it...on second thought...
I might agree with you a little on the looks, but it looks nothing like it rally roots? Look at how the rally cars are going these days. Focus for one, and many more. In my opinion this is the ways rally cars are looking now, hatches are the future for rallying.
Road & Track has a article of what the new STI might be, they did a little photochop, and I'd have to say, I'd hit it! I think there speculation for 1/4 mile time is a little "optimistic." Is it just me or is the hoodscoop a little reminiscent of Ferrari 550?

I don't know why I'm so drawn to read everything about these new models, mabey because I love subaru's. But hear is my reaction. The evo may have the subaru by the nuts in terms of styling, but I rest asured the new sti will kill all evo infidels. Of course a hatch is going to look like ass but people better get used to that ugly ass because thats all there going to be able to see from 3 car lenghts behind. This ugly duckling will change the definition of "style" when it strikes fear into the hearts of men. Nothing is without reason with subaru there listening and be prepared.
Reading the article it states a wider track for the STi- if true- then flares could certainly be part of the package. My guess is it will be flared over the WRX
