Default The Unveiling of the 2011 STI At the NYIAS

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FBQhTW3pP0E

One of my good friends had the oppurtunity yesterday to film the unveiling of the 2011 Subaru Impreza WRX STi at the New York International Auto Show.

For us overseas, the return of the STi sedan! (Saloon. Whatever =p)

not the best vid imo, dont really get to see the car fully and the colour does not show off the outlines etc, seems to be a hatch with a boot so no real change also still popping the intercooler on the top think its about time they relocated it to the front.

will look out for some better pictures

Hatch is in that vid too... just most of the "side on" shots are of the sedan..

hatch gets a rally style wing.... (a bit ott for my tastes)

Is it me or does the rear look very similar to the new bmw 3 series (obviously without the rear wing)?

Im willing to put money on it that there isnt a new car out there that doesnt share something with other manufacturers , indeed i wouldnt be surprised if they ALL start out from some particular computer program and then *endeavour* to design something slightly differnt with a few button pushes

Speaks the now style guru of Scoobynet, technical boffin, engineer and mapping expert is there no end to your obvious talents?

The Hawkeye was the best looking Impreza IMHO, but I do like both the hatchback and saloon/sedan versions of the current STi but will they bring the saloon model over here?

I sort of know what you mean as far as the back and passenger compartment go. Very average looking though and then there is the front which is just a complete dog's dinner. What were they thinking? Yuck

Yeah I think it looks like it has been put together from the Hyundai spare parts bin. Just a mish mash with no coherent look. The Focus RS gets aggressive styling just right. Subaru need to make the styling more angular and less curvy and bland in my humble opinion. Looks unbalanced.
