I'm sold, the red covers are a must. I was going to go white on gold... but I think I'd rather get the gray and add the fog lights, then sell the stock 18" wheels for some 17x9.5 Advan RGIIs or something, and use the '05 sti goldies I've got for the winter.

So, who wants to buy an SVX? Only 215,000 miles!

I'm actually shying away from tinting taillights. The red, though, is subtle and very nice.

Pics of the 08 SWRT were released today.

No more contrasting yellow/gold logos on the car. Hoodscoop is gone. Looks a little more bland IMO.

Looks French. But who cares if Subaru finally ends up with a competitive car again.

The ironic thing is that Rally is the sport the least affected by that ricer crap even though it's the only type of racing where drifting can actually be the faster way around a corner.

Bumper and tail lights are straight off the 08 Legacy.

BUT... they tend to use bin parts when making test mules, so it could go either way.

Not that far off either way, but that does look more Legacy than Impreza upon further review.

That looks like a 4 door with the rear doors taped off to me.

No Scott. They are bringing back the rear window from the SVX that you love some much. It goes down half way because its JDM.
