Possible new STi?

ScoobyDoo69 · 21 Sep 2007 at 20:53

Well as we all know, the new Impreza is a real let down in terms of looks and the fact that it's a hatch. But! After looking at these new pics of the possible STi, I'd buy one (so long as there was a replacement for the rear lights!!!)
May I just state that I do not know if this is the car or not, but it certainly looks like this will be it.
Things to note that obviously won't be on the road car are the roll cage and the recaro buckets. However I'm liking the 4 exhausts, WRC style arches etc, and I can see the STi 6 pot calipers as seen on the RA-R, which are meant to be very good.
Hopefully they've actually made this one more powerful with 350+bhp as standard. Anyways the link is below, I reckon I might buy one of these in a few years if they deliver it well !

Not for me, looks like a focus with a long nose from the side

Like those wheels :cool:

fonzee · 21 Sep 2007 at 21:20

not really doing it for me... still an ugly car unfortunately.

Looks like the New Impreza, with an air scoop.

Still horrid on the eyes from the front.

It looks like a bastardised Daewoo Lanos, inbred with a 'Rover Streetwise', the Rover 25 that was jacked up and covered in plastic.

ChoÞÞer · 21 Sep 2007 at 21:42

wheels yum rest of it horrid

The old Scoody was Meh but that is just horrible. Who cares if it is fast when it looks like ****

Not a fan at all, the stick on tat doesn't do anything to make it look any better.

It really brings it into focus just how badly Subaru have cocked up the looks of the new Impreza when you compare it to the new Evo X.

Looks like an MG ZR in that first picture.

That's exactly what I thought at first.

Still looks like a nice motor though.

Hmm. There are a number of hugely fast cars that are brilliant to drive that I can forgive for looking a bit poor. That said....I never did rate the Impreza in the looks department, and this new one is not changing that at all. It's not desperately ugly, it's just....'meh'.

The Doom 3 tactic. Make it so dark that you can't make out detail in order to disguise how crap it looks.

Look better with the plastic wrap on it. At least then you can't see the true state of the thing. The back though? What were they thinking
