I actually like it apart from the mud flaps and the rear lights (which look like cheap lexus types. Would look ace if they were changed.

nice car though mate.

Looks like a Barryboy special

simpsons !

I saw several at the Mcrae gathering (RIP) and i can assure you that black is def the best colour, because of the reflection of the scoop on the bonnet (hopefully) It makes it look huge, The white one from revolutiuon IMO looked average.

Dependant on the colour, the alloys, and the add ons the new STI either looks great or crap.

The one i saw was sat on 18's in silver and looked fantastic he is a member of L.A.D.S according to the stickers.

I used to be like you lot and drive a COMMON Blue saloon but I made a lucky escape. Far better car the new one's dont break down either

if i had the money i would buy the last of the saloon models but, these new hatch things will surely take off, remember the shick horror when the bugeye was first unveiled!!

If you have a look on some of the usa forums theres loads over there really taken off big style.

Bugeye was a big shock and probably is to some people me included I hated it but with the morrettes fitted they do look better.

must say i wouldnt have bought my car just looking at pictures, to see it in the flesh it looks mint imho.

my little input
the new car was designed for the masses, they want to sell more standard cars and the hatchback was the only way to go, it's silouete (hope thats spelt ok) could be a number of cars that are out there at the moment, unfortunatly the big wigs control the design of cars today so the saloon is dead for now
as for driving our old cars till they rot! your totally right! but my two door banger will always look better than a brand new starling

simpsons !

You mean like this one?

Problem is the bugeye even thou a disaster to look at, is 100% better than the current model, so your idea holds no water

vindaloo

If we want saloons, I'm sure Mr Litchfield would import them for us.

The Subaru impreza is a saloon it has a history that deserves respect. Mmmmm hatchback! Subaru should of given it another name. If i went out tommo for a new car i would be looking for the last of the saloons.They are reconised as an Impreza and not mistaken for an astra/mazda or some other bloody hatchback out there. Lets see if it proves its self

scoobynutta555

Mine has never broken down on me. Doubtless a hatch is a far better car in some respects, just as an RS Focus is probably a better car than an Escort Cosworth, but I know which one I'd buy

Just because a car is 8 years old it doesn't make it a crock of s**t or their owners some sort of poor relation. I've always had classics, and always will, simply as Subaru have produced nothing what-so-ever I'm interested in post 2001.

Black or White...the only colours the New STI looks good in....

I thought the Bug eye was a P.O.S when it was released (still do)...the blob was rushed out to make amends.....the hatch is way better imho...and will be the "current model" for longer too..

I quite like the fact it's not instantly reconisable as an Impreza.... makes driving through town easier without packs or Saxos and Corsas trailing you.... the big wing on the saloon screams barry far more...

But each to their own... I was quite glad when I sold my classic and got my Blob... and the jump is equally as big when I got my 08... cabin noise, build quality & refinement are worlds apart..

Same as yours mate. Euro model, with a couple of bits.

Arhh ok

I'm considering the Exhaust shields..(xmas gift to myself I'm thinking),

Harman Motive are the only people I've found offering them.

The Escort also started life as a Saloon but it moved with the times and, I have to say, has a bigger history than the Impreza, about 30 years to the 12-15 of the Impreza. Does respecting it's history mean that it can't move on.

Why is it that when something different or new appears some people on here go out of their way to put it down. I have a MY99 Classic and a 08 STI and love them both, live and let live.
