Looks nice. I want to see the 5 Door though.

sexy...

Hrm. 265hp, and room for big tires... I might finally be interested in a wrx over an sti. Assuming the hatch looks better than that sedan.

The fender flares are a nice shot at making that car less boring, but they don't quite help enough. Hopefully the 5-door/wagon will look decent.

Yay! They're starting to look less and less like KIAs! Sorry, but Im still in love with the older body styles.

Here's a picture of the WRX hatch

maybe that means they are going to have to step up the sti, since they are basically the same now

Hot! You'd have to run big wheels on it. It looks silly even with the stock 17X8's! :eek:

I'm bummed they did away with the rear LSD in MY '08. Other than fender flares, the STi still has what it's always had over the WRX, better, brakes, gearbox, diffs, and a touch more power.

But man, the 09/10 WRX is making North of 300/300 WHP/WTQ with a TBE, BC, fuel pump and a tune. I want that '11 5-door if the lack of rear diff isn't as big of a deal in reality as it is in my head.

The wing they photoshopped on looks terrible.

It's like 80% the original size. :lol:

They (subaru) needs to offer a WRX with brakes that fit under 15" rally rims, instead of leaning on Rally-America to invent a class to allow them in a production form...

But the car looks way cool. wider track is nicer , i prefer the older Body style a lot, and the 99.3" wheel base is the hot shit!

Only way I'm driving a hatch is if someone is sponsoring me with one. :)

Think all the subarus i'm gonna buy from now on will be 07 or older. hmmf

I definitely like this new body style. I feel like it's a mix between the older styles (05-07) and newer styles (08+). Kinda wish the trunk was a little longer so that the sedan actually looked like a sedan rather than a hatchback without the hatch...

I'm pretty sure the cost of offering a production model specifically for the 8 or 10 cars per year that end up in rally isn't going to be cost effective.

Especially considering there are 4pot rally brakes available in the FHI catalog.

Alright, the wing is back!

That's just a shark hiding under there. Maybe some sort of a porpoise.

Looks like it's a new wing design and it looks like it's still a hatch. Pretty sure I read that the sedan was coming back, but I guess not?

Kinda looks like a fastback sedan maybe, and yeah the wing looks like a new design.

I'm with Cody. That looks like a hatch, with a WRC style wing:

well if that is the case then they should just delete the rear window.

That's just a shopping cart with a dropcloth thrown over it.

Maybe it's supposed to look like the new stupid IRL concept car

That looks like a car for Ace and Gary.

There's a smiley for that!
:concur:

:lol:

MY08-10 are about to get cheaper.

Maybe for an oval series... but they plan to road race that thing!?


Drivers are going to be tearing those things in half for a long time before they get used to the rear of the car being 3 times wider than the nose they can see.

looks like a hatch to me. Lame we are americans give us a fricken Sedan for your top model.

Subaru does still do IRS (international rally series) and R-A (which will modify their rules for Subaru's inclusion)

Scott where do i find those 15" rim compatible 4 pot brakes?

http://rallispec.com/prod_brake.htm

RST-2621 and RST-2632

Or you can order them straight through the Subaru dealer. They're homologated factory parts for use in rally. I'm actually running the rear brakes on my WRX to go with the front StopTechs.

All the Subaru 4 pot brakes are the same.

Maybe?

Not quite. All the Subaru 4-pot brake calipers are the same. The rotors are specific to bolt pattern, as well as the differences for the rear size difference of the e-brake drum and bearing on R180 rear-end cars.

I meant for the purposes of putting them under 15" wheels.

The sedan and the wing are back....

Merged into existing thread.

And Subaru needs to release some official pics soon. These ones aren't the most flattering for the vehicle.

Slightly better pics of the STi on Autoblog

Hmmm, looks like the shipment of Evo wings got mixed up and sent to Subaru.

Oh come on, you know you've always wanted a purple Subaru.

God that's ugly. Much better without the wing... but still like twice as bad as the hatchback.

They should have left the mu-mu on it.

The back end is not a pretty sight, and the wing just makes it look worse. Hopefully they release a hatchback that doesn't look as terrible.

At least the brake lights aren't made by APC this time around.

I like it much better than the hatchback, but I don't like 4-door hatchbacks in general at all. The wing does look a little ricey-aftermarketty. The skirts too. I look forward to seeing it in person and later seeing it lowered, etc.

That is definitely a plus. I just hope it is released in that dark blue that was shown in the pics. I love that color on my car, and I'd love it on a new STi.

I think it looks good. I likey.



(Then again, I drive an FJ)

Side by side profiles. Its looking better from that angle. I think lowering it will help a bit.

Now if they could just do something about those damn rear doors (like not having them) :lol:

Then we'de have a sick car..

Why can't they just "borrow" the prodrive P2 body style OMFG, !!!

$1100 for 4 4-pot calipers? (or is that just the rear 2) and only add $200 for floating 2 peice rotors, its a lot of money... but it seems like not too bad of a deal ?
