If you want some pictures : http://www.chez.com/classcars92/mondial02.htm

I just came back : new Wrx 225 CV, 300 mn.

Sti : same power, same engine.
Interior is the same except seats (Wrx and Sti) and a new "volant" on the Sti with a logo Sti, which is great.

New for the Wrx : the rpm in the middle, as the Sti.

The new Sti front is strange, very strange, see the pictures.

I will give you some other news tomorrow.

If you assume that the wings remain the same height as the previous model (to get the same suspension and stuff in) the the bonnet will be very high as it used to dip below the height of the wings and now it rises a similar amount. Or hopefully its just a trick of the camera - or this is the Outback STi version

Oh dear,oh dear,oh dear give ny MY02 with morettes any day of the week. Sure IMHO the headlights are an improvement over the bugeyes but the reshaped front end has diluted the previous models aggressive look(the WRX that is). It will be interesting to see how this sells. If the scoop on the STI manages to get any bigger your going to have to check it for the neighbours cat every time you start up in the morning!

Like you can tell from a 2D picture. If i were you i'd reserve my judgement till you get to see it in the metal. It is a better improvement over the previous model. I think you will find that it looks like the evo 7 slightly on the front end, more arrow shaped, and the evo aint to bad is it? I found it quite appealing when i stood in front of it.
