Looking at the pics i'm sold on the front and side (flared arches look good) but the rear or rear 3/4 view is not good .

Depends on the price for me if the MY06 gets traded in for the Sti when launched.... seeing as tho the WRX is almost 2K cheaper here's hoping the Sti list price drops too!

Looks like they're using 6 pots on the front.

Looks good IMO, cannot wait until there is a Spec C variant available. That's when I'll be making a purchase.

The brakes do look somewhat similar to the RA-R, as in 6-pots up front and 4-pots at the rear.

Looks have grown on me as well.

How can they even think a car with a 2ft overhang infront of the front axle and 1ft over the rear as proportionate


If they want a hatchback with short rear overhang, I think they either need to bin the 4wd, or bin the boxer, or at the very least bin the transaxle FWD drivetrain layout in favour of traverse so they can make the car's proportions look sensible.

At least the saloon looks ok...as the rear overhang balances out the front. Black grill mod a must though.
