In addition, Dunlop JointLess Band Technology helps maintain tire
structural stability and enables smooth performance at highway speeds, she
added.

The French (ie. Michelin) call this "BAZ". BFGoodrich and Uniroyal (and Goodyear too I think) call this "spiral wound cap ply". It is nothing new, and should pretty much be a standard thing on hi-perf Z+ rated tires - nothing to brag about. It's kinda like saying "And this tire comes in black complete with tread and sidewalls". Most BFG and Uniroyal tires made in the US, China, and Thailand that have this technology were processed using an automated machine that I designed back in the late 90's. Many Michelins too.

Lithia and Hohl have a few STI's in stock. Has anybody seen one in person... and maybe driven one?

I'm avoiding them like the plague so I don't go buy one.

Here's a decent article from Perrin about the 2008 STI with lots of little new details about it:

Here's a nice feature of the front fender flares - hot air extraction:

My GF and I have this game we play in the car. It's kinda like Padiddle or Slugbug, etc. It's called "NewSTI". Whenever you see a MazdaSpeed3 or similar car, the first person to shout, "Hey, is that the new STI?!?" gets a point.

I'll buy an LSTi sedan if they bring us one. Else i'm moving on until I pick up another 2.5RS in 5 or 10 years.

17" rims look tiny on the '08...

knucklesplitter · 2008-02-01, 09:54 AM

'08 STI weight distribution (no driver I assume):

knucklesplitter · 2008-02-01, 10:00 AM

18x9.5 (+44) Prodrives at Cobb...

JonnydaJibba · 2008-02-01, 10:25 AM

From certain angles the car actually looks good. Those wheels help a bunch too.

Evo Mike · 2008-02-01, 10:42 AM

i want one.. soooo bad.. i've always thought it looked nice.. even from the preliminary shots.

i dont liek the new evo too much though.

cody · 2008-02-01, 10:46 AM

The wheels are sick, but they don't make up for the oogly tails. RockBlocker those MFers!

Wurd! I think vinyl overlays will be a big hit with these cars. From Harman Motive:

But please cut out the reverse lights!

JonnydaJibba · 2008-02-01, 11:59 AM

That is a 1004% improvement.

Kevin M · 2008-02-01, 12:03 PM

I'd probably alter them to best resemble JDM GF lights. That would be hot.

knucklesplitter · 2008-02-12, 10:14 AM

Lots of 2008 STI's on Ebay

Before you anti-ebayers scoff... keep in mind I bought my '04 STI brand new (30 miles) on ebay for a little over $28k.

NevadaSTi · 2008-02-12, 11:22 AM

I like the Red one, damn that looks hot!!!!
