STi 8

I prefer the 7 for looks.

Fugly and double fugly but IMO the STI8 is much less Fugly. ;)

Lol no they are both awesome cars, think the STI 8 is Tassiest, but not as Tassy as a classic though.

Vince

None win, they are both increadbly ugly.

Put up an STI 5/6 TypeR and then we can have a winner.

The original shape is just too geriatric for this contest.

7 looks a lot better IMO

The 8 but it needs gold wheels lol.


Turkish1

Well, I much prefer the 8 really, which is why I bought it. It's not just the shape of the lights, but the lines of the bonnet and wheel arches at the front. Everything just seems to flow a little better. Having said that, they both look alot better in the flesh.

The 8 looks like it's been punched in the face by a 7 :D

I like the 8 with the "black" wheels.

If i had a choice of the above i think one of the 7's. Not keen on the front bumper and scoop of the 8.

Anyone have an evening wear shot of these two lovelys? Main Beam only please.

Whose car is the black 8 at the top of the thread - the one without the pink bits and anthracite wheels?

I am sure it was parked on my road the other week.

Peter

Biased oppinion here but I prefer the 8 :) I've had both and the 8 'seems' to be better all round.

I agree with VinnyP's comments above.....I wonder where that word came from..... ;)

Though I think the STI8 does look a tad rounded though.....Sammy, you are going to have to sort out the geezer who keeps scribbling onyour reg plate. ;) :D

I have to say I think the STi 8 is the nicer one of the two, when the Bug eye was released I wasn't sure about its looks. But they did grow on me.

The new shape :D :D :D :D :D :D

Without a doubt STi 8. Nuff said ;)

SU3ARU, black STi8 is mine.

Sti 8, is the best out the 2...

Both dont come anywhere close to a 5 or a 6 though!!!


Classics Rule!!!!!

"The 8 looks like it's been punched in the face by a 7"

It does look a bit swollen. Is there more space under the bonnet?

I'm not certain having never looked under the bonnet of a 7, but I don't see how there could be, it's pretty packed. I'm sure engine bay dimensions will be similar if not identical.

I hated the look of the bug eye scoobys... so much that i nearly bought a "sensible car" after my 98 scoob... But then i saw a new STI8 in the flesh and have ordered one!!! WOOT!

Sorry but i got it in blue... i was close to getting it in black.. but i just like the colour (no im not a girl;))

The 8 is streaking away with it.

ex-pug

Were you down in SW London a few weeks ago, if not your car has a twin!!!!

Peter

It's a personnel thing but I prefer the 7 . :) Prefer the bonnet line were it drops away from the edges after the headlamp line.

SU3ARU, won't have been me. I did get the car from Marlborough in Isleworth though, and I know there is another car with anthracite wheels and no STi badging at all out there, because we spoke to the chap just before he took it away. Apparently he didn't want his wife to know he'd got the STi!! Let's hope she doesn't ever look under the bonnett!

EX-PUG

Yes, the other car was from Marlborough as well - put it up on "was it you", but no response.

"Didn't want his wife to know it was a STi" - what about the interior???

Peter

Yeah I know.. doesn't really figure, but that's what the guy said anyway.

I prefer the classic but if you're pushing me the 7 gets it over the 8. :)

The 8's scoop just looks too big. I'd need to see them both in the flesh, but the 7 get's my vote.
