Default What the '08 Impreza *should* have looked like !

Nicked from Sf.org

This would have been a proper contender to the Evo and some awesome skills from this guy !

Seriously though I really hope Subaru pull one out of the hat for the Sti but the chances don't look great imo..

I am actually starting to like the 2008 Hatch But what will be will be.

I have seen a few pictures of the 2008 STi and it looks a little more aggressive and more like the STi's we all know. But its not shrinking violet.





Evo X here I come

It will be like 2001 when they lost 30% in sales when they made that blob-frog eyed what ever it is.
Its pants and you no it so dont make it.
P.S thats the blue thing that some **** stuck a subaru badge on.

Really peeps ought to comment once they've actually seen both the "MY08STi" and the "EVO X" IMHO

TBH the "EVO X" in concept form looks great but crap in reality were as the WRX looks Crap but the Sti will look much better

Tooooo many peeps are righting off the Sti as a dog before actually seeing it and "buying" an Evo X because concept Pic looks good but in reality looks Pants IMHO

Whatever it (the real STi) ends up looking like.. those top renders and the one on the linked site look very nice considering it's a hatchback. If (and it's a big IF) Subaru pull something like that out of the bag I do think they will be onto a winner in overall sales throughout the Impreza range. Only time will tell I guess.

I still think it's a mistake not releasing a saloon version or middle ground WRX in the UK as well however!

Not quite mate, but i do see where you are coming from.

If you remove the good bits from any scoob though, it looks like some second rate jap base .

I have to be honest, i dont like the WRX, although the front is growing on me. The back is not good, even on the blue photoshop Sti.

I will reserve judgement on the Sti until i see it though. Lets hope it is mental like the first one!!!

I think it looks rather similar to an old Seat Leon:

I think people are looking at the skin and not whats underneath the subaru should have a stronger engine than the older version, and from what's being said, the evo will have a weaker engine than the older version (new all alloy engine), but we shall wait and see
