Mm, I like both :) Prefer the 8, but dislike the *huge* scoop, but then that's just a good excuse to get a front mount and change it ;):D

Oh, and I *love* Goons 7...looks amaxing in "real life" :) Black with antracite ...Mmmm :cool::D

8 every time, much more agressive and Evo-esque ;)

It's probably stating the obvious, but you really do get used to the scoop. It compliments the huge spoiler at the back perfectly. Once you get used to seeing it everyday, the scoop on the 7 looks somewhat insignificant, and you wonder how they ever got any air to go through the intercooler at all! It's all subjective though, as previously stated, if you have a 7, the scoop really seems to stick out on the later model, but it's all in proportion on the 8... honest!!!!

i like both the sti 8 just pips the 7 to the post
both great cars though
forget looks, which one drives and goes better?

8, just, but only just even though it looks like its been stung on the face by a bee! They both need bonnet vents imho, i think the bonnets just look to plain without them.

The 8 I hope.

Biased opinion but the STi 7 looks right, the droop snoot less so.
The best Scoob is the 22B and from then on in it's change for change sake.

We're now on the version 8 and if you gave he remit to the Design dept, give me your best effort, how do continually improve?

How can they persist with that minging std boot spoiler? There must be a landfill site full of them!

I don't think that the EVO 8 is an improvement either but selling cars means change (unfortunately sooner rather than later).

Like a good band, the original is always hard to beat! Joe Strummer live forever!!
