I cannot say I like the new look.

Oooo I hope that is a concept and not a production model

Looks lika a magazine 'Chop.. Don't put too much faith in those pics.

It will be interesting to see if the real version is anything like that photoshop version. As for the hatch, here in NA I can see it selling well for the WRX but not the STi I am sure that subaru will offer the STi in a traditional 4 door here. Just my thoughts

I had thought the same thing but then had come across these on the vortex.

Other subaru news says that they are looking to expand the STi line to more vehicles here in North America, Like say the GT spec B could become the Legacy STi and then the Forester STi. Thats why I cant see them getting rid of the 4 door.

[dino_martini]

I like the idea of a Legacy and Forester STi

[spyce]

so its like a wagon/hatch now?
not really feeling it
although the front does look better than previous versions

[Mibz]

That thing will keep the value of current gen Sti's sky-high for years.

[adam c]

i kinda like it

yup, it should be so it can be more competitive in the wrc. all the hatches are whooping its ass. too damn big.

[403Gemini]

IMO the current one looks the best

[Killa_Kam]

the front looks pretty good

[Zephyr]

Thats a big gaping mouth, almost pixar status

[Cy2k1]

damn...i think Subaru is killin their looks for the impreza series. I didn't like the look of the new 06 STi and now i don't even like the new look of the future ones too. Hopefully Subaru brings back the engineers who made the 04-05 Sti's back. Or even better is if they brought back the 2-dr imprezas series...Nothing would look and drive crazier than a 2-dr impreza with a 300+HP engine in it. Or even better is if they up the engine from a H4 to a H6 like Porsche engines. :drool:

[A790]

I like it.

Looks aggressive.

:)

[DGill]

only the front looks good but the current model looks much better

[heavyD]

Who's gonna shell out $$$ for that ugly thing when the EVO X (which IMO looks much nicer) will be available in Canada?

[SiR_lyfe]

nice find!

[Kamen]

Oh god the back...why...:barf:

[nadroj23]

reminds me of a mazda 3

[Car Fiend]

id buy a diesel subaru

[hjr]

got the be th only company making their car smaller rather than larger!

[Sonic_A4]

ok looks like a beefed up mazda 3, should keep the classic 4 door sedan, and would be cool to see a 2 door coupe

[mac_82]

more pics...

Full details are expected to be released at the New York Auto Show.

In a weird and twisted way, Subaru is quite innovative with their products. People always complain about Subarus being ugly, but sometimes the cars grow on you (WRX), sometimes they don't (Tribeca.)

I think this will end up being the former.

[xrayvsn]

More low to midrange torque? They must be talking about the 2.0L.

Wonder how they will do that on the 2.0L? The European and JDM versions already get the twin scroll, so either they get a smaller turbo or improve AVCS. I hope its the latter, the turbos on the WRX and STI's are already too small now.

Same thoughts here. Overall I like the appearance except for the back...especially the tailights.

[pinoyhero]

I like it actuallt, only thing I'm reall not a fan of is the color.

[Russo]

I kidna like it too!

[jdm_eg6]

i work at subaru + jaguar calgary and i was talking with a few sales guys and they were looking at that STi in a different version but VERY close and yes they are thinking of making that hatchback version of the STi. Lets hope not:rofl:

[RZRSHARP_SVX]

the car looks like crap its worse than the current front end

[silver_gs-R]

god thats disgusting :barf:...

imo the last gen 03-05 i think it was, looked the best!!!

[T-Dubbs]

why cant subaru pick a body style and keep it?
