Default MY07. I do hope not.

This is apparently the 2007 model STi. Apologies if you've seen this before. Apologies if it puts you off your dinner...

Errrr

Mix up a Focus, add a Vectra, blend in a Mondeo and sprinkle with Evo. For extra bite add a few chunks of assorted Renault's.

Classic, Bugeye, Blobeye.... WTF is this going to be called????

Surely it was "Take all the bad bits from the following.

Alfa
Subaru STi8
Mitsu Evo

And see if you can cobble something together. Oh - and ditch the Gold Wheels cos PSLewis doesn't like them.

At least it seems to have a WRC style slot on the bonnet for a FMIC?

Hmm don't think that'll be the final design but I would certainly expect some sort of B11S / Alfa derived nosecone (since the Alfa designer now works for Subaru). Hopefully they will have learned about headlights since the bugeye and change them quick sharp !
If it looks like that I might go all pipe and slippers and get a Spec B Leggy instead.

Depends very much on what's under the bonnet. I does seem to make the blobeye look good.

Well the side of the car looks identical to the honda accord. Obligatory kev spoiler on the back. Front is ok-ish (alfa 166 anyone!) but bonnet scoop and vent doesn't look right (never stopped subaru before lol ). Overall looks like lots of other cars stuck together. But you think car design would have moved FORWARDS in 3 years time. It looks more like what TODAY's car should/would look like. just imo blah blah blah.

I am quite sure subaru would not realease a picture of their 2007 design, thats 3 years before the car goes on the road... and if they did I am sure that the pic would be better than that photoshoped mess.

Could be wrong though... I mean they did make the blob eye.. PMSL

Well lets face it, you dont buy a Subaru if you want a good looking car...... and yes its butt-ugly!

Bet its goes well, probably be 280bhp 2.5 as standard by then!

Got 3years to get used to the looks anyway
