2008 on the sreet! I like it even more! Original thread here: http://forums.nasioc.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1249090 I am seriously going to have to stay away from the dealership when these first come out...
I like the grill much more than the 06-07, but I still just don't like Hatches. There are very few hatches I do like, and this is definitely not one of them.
Grill - YAY!! Wheels - YAY!! Color - YAY!! See, now why didn't subaru show another color? Maybe another color choice for their unveiling would have gotten a better response. Also, that grill makes it soooo much better. Chrome = :hsnono: If the STi comes in that body style with some aggressive tweaks in the looks dept, it could be seriously bad ass.
Good save Subaru! Only looks about 28% as fugly as previously reported EDIT: Did you see the photoshop fix that 1 of those guys did on the tails? Not bad actually.
"Wow, people rearry hate the new design, especiarry the grirre. We need to make some changes," Mr. Subaru. That doesn't look like the car they unveiled at the car show. I like it! The back reminds me of an M Roadster...
Considering that belongs to a Subaru higher-up, its got some aftermarket equipment on it. Grill may be JDM, but Im still confident we're getting the pacifica one still. This is one of the guys that gets the car before anyone else to drive it around and pimp it out
better than the prerelease pics hmmm maybe i can wait for the air splitter since the new ones maybe larger and low profile
yeah mazda and focus. but it definately looks better than the pic on the R&T magazine. i like the rims.

If you don't like it, wait. 2010 will be different. Subaru does this all the time... every two years they change everything. My bugeye looked old and outdated when it was only 3 years old. By '06 it was two model years old! I have to remind myself that my car is a 2003, and that's about as close to a new car as I'd want. My dream car is an '05 STi... even though it could be as little as a year and a half old, it's now two generations outdated. Booo...
I think I like it, just remove all chrome. cant wait to see the official STI pics, that may be my upgrade if they will do an sti hatch.
Did you notice the color choices on here? Lets see, silver, dark grey, or WR Blue??? What should I choose for my '08 STI?
Chrysler Sebring front end, Focus/Mazda3 rear with a severe case of Altezza syndrome... Big old Boo from me still. I don't think I'll ever warm up to the hatch. Who know though, I hated the 06' front end when it came out... Then I bought one, now I like it better than the 04/05....
Yeah, I could not agree more. Not too fond of the 06 now I love it and do not think the styling on the 08 STI will improve the looks enough, right now its a no go for me too.
Are those free floting calipers...no 4 piston brakes??? http://www.subaru.com/sub/misc/2008/autoshow/ny0311/wrx/index.html?cid=em_2008_wrx_pre_order_ow I have seen two different pictures of the new STi and they both had a different look. check out the pics in the June 07 Road and Track page 58
This grill recently showed up at an ESX Motorsports event. So either the USDM gets a different grill from the JDM and EDM models or its a dealer option. I hear its the latter. http://www.autoblog.com/2007/06/04/will-the-impreza-wrx-to-get-different-grille/
