Default saw the new style of sti yesterday...

and boy, i thought that ley looked ugly in the mags. not to go old school but if my cat were that ugly i would shave its butt and, wait i wouldn't even do that, i would just put hime out of his misery. i know those cars are fast, but if i bought one i would really try to find a bag big enough to stick over the front end . just when i started liking the last body style, they make it look like that b9 tributtf*cking ugly. the designers who came up with that one must have been smoking crack.

Yeah, they really screwed the pooch on the new design.

I got invited to a VIP event with Subaru of America as part of the Seattle International Auto Show... and that's definitely going to be my comment about the new Impreza. I can't understand why they took a cool looking car and then continually made it uglier and uglier.

Eh I don't think it looks that bad... still an improvement over the old bug eyes. I thought the pics looked worse than the car in person.

No way!!

I think the bug eye Impreza was the one of the best looking ones they made.

I still think the best looking imprezas were the 2001 2.5RS's (before they brought over the WRX) now that car with the current STi motor would be sweet.

I saw a 2006 STI on the road just the other day and couldn't help but think that its even uglier in person. I think Subie made a big mistake with the new front end. Alfa Romeo should sue...

Yep. The cosmetic changes are the only major differences.

That is just utterly stupid.........if your gonna change the damn thing.......then change the damn thing. Engine and all! I don't like the STI's and never really have, but I don't think it looks all that different from 2004 models. Just a small bit different...........

The nose is pretty radically different, the tail got mild cosmetic changes... It's just how Subaru works, they change the look of their cars every 2 years.

Personally, I think my 2004 STi was one of the nicest cars I ever owned... it wasn't the most beautiful thing, but it was better looking than the 2006.

The performance of the car was pretty outstanding.

I've never owned a Mustang... I've owned about 50 cars in my lifetime, though. I've owned my Formula longer than any car I've had previously, and I've only had it for 2-1/2 years. I go through cars pretty quickly.

Hell, I've owned 11 cars in the last 10 years, and 4 of them were F-bodies.

I toyed with the idea of "capable" AWD car (Evo or STI). This is exactly why I went with a corvette instead - econobox sedan bodies with overstated scoops and wings just don't look right to me

the sad thing is that all the racerboy types will have triple orgasms about 2 spoilers FROM THE FACTORY

what's next? b-pillar and side mirror "winglets" on '08 models?
