    Not sure where to put this. It's a sighting but I'm sure this person is not on here.

    This is my first sighting of the 08 on the road. I was heading to my parents house and pulled up beside this car. Had to take a pic.

    I was behind him for a while and I'm not digging the new style at all. Hate the tail lights. I was telling my girlfriend that that's the new body style. She hated it too. She said it look like a mini-van. Agreed.

    +1 for minivan

    BelvnAWD I'm Vin, Bell-Vin...

    Didn't look like a minivan at the Subaru Challenge. The car (albeit with a really good driver) with four people riding in it, was in contention all day long. Can't wait to see what the STI can do...

    The new WRX's did show up strong. Russ' (dontcallitarex) '08 Spanked me at the subie challenge... but so did everyone else.

    Slow and steady wins the race!

    Yeah, I thought it looked good at the challenge too. But in the stock form, I just don't like. I can't wait to see the STI tho!

    My first sighting, albeit not positive, I'll take it :) And it looks like the off ramp at union city.

    Were you the two in the silver wagon behind me? I saw two people jawing about something and pointing....


    And yes, its not everyone's cup of tea, but I like it and I pay for it.


    But thanks for the compliments there buddyro.

    Yep. That was me. Yeah, we were talking about the car pretty much the whole time we were behind you. Was hoping to get up beside you at one of the lights in car-land.

    They had one parked at the Challenge, but it looks different in motion. So it was good to see it from that perspective.

    Sorry bout the comments. Didn't mean to offend, just my opinion. I've discussed this with Subaru and should see results in a couple of years.
    And I was assuming that you wouldn't be on here. So, Hi!

    Plan on any mods?

    People said the 06-07 style was ugly when it first came out. I thought so too. But now I love it. I think people will change their perspective on the 08 as people start modding :)

    he's offended lol. How much do u want? I need a front plate. I liked the Blue and silver 08 at the challenge. Given the right stance it looked sexy and very smooth on the course. If I start playing mty cards right now I may be able to get an Sti.....

    I feel like the factory "appearance package" which my car came with, enhances the overall aesthetic quite a bit.

    Also, it looks marvelous in WRB. And it's quick as shit.:fawk:

    I kind of like the front. I just don't like cleared tails in general. Overall the design will probably grow on me. Really like the STI! Guess I just have a thing for fenders. Wish the wagons could have had something like the Forresters.

    i'm not offended, the plate just doesn't look like i'd hoped it would. thirty bucks takes it.

    Don't get me wrong, its good car with a great chassis and suspension... it just looks like a camry.

    I'm just glad you can't tell how dirty my car is from that picture. :)

    Damned water shortage. :grr:


    Also like I said earlier, the 08's arn't everyones favorite, nor are the bug-eyes (contrary to what bug eye enthusiasts think :p )


    But it was cheap, gets decent mpg, has plenty of storage/people space, makes a great noise and goes like hell.

    So it isn't the "looker" the previous models were, meh. I like how it looks and sits on the pavement. If I could have made some changes with the original design team I would, I'm anxious to see if someone can come out with a decent wide body kit to match the sti. (only problem I really see is the rear doors)


    My ultimate goal is to be around 300 horse, upgrade the suspension to get the body roll out of it (but not sacrifice ride quality entirely) and do something with the rear lights/bling. Not entirely sure what yet, haven't seen anything that tickles my fancy.
