Well no, I guess it's not the enemy, more of a friendly competitor. But I finally ran into an 08 STi. I took some pics with my camera phone (sorry for the crappy quality). I must say, pictures do not do it justice. The front is quite nice, not as aggressive as the evo, but still nice. It pretty much looks like my old 06 STi with a new grill and wider fenders. But the back ...Man is it hideous. One thing I noticed is the quality is very nice. A lot better than my 06. The paint job seemed to be of a higher quality than past models, and the interior was beautiful. Over all, it's a nice car. In the end do I wish I had one? NO! Seeing them side by side ensured I made the right decision. As a two time STi owner (04 & 06) I stand by my decision to come to the dark side lol. Anyways heres some pics, enjoy!

PS. I didn't take any rear photos, I tried to stay as far away from the back as possible lol.

PPS. I also posted this on evoxforums.com

 

so the owner of the sti was unaware of the photoshoot? if so, thats awesome.

great pics btw.

 

Haha ya he didn't know, I was just passing by when I noticed the car in the parking lot.

 

haha good stuff. nice pics

 

Knew it was an Sti haha, but yea nice pics.

 

Where in MA were these pics taken? I could have sworn I saw that STi at a mobil around my house. I really wanted to stop and look at it since ive never seen one up close and in person but I was too tired to even bother with it.. I havent seen many Evo X's around here though mainly alot of Lancers that I think are Evo's until I get closer to them.

 

Worcester MA

 

Sooo...did subaru buy nissan 350z stock wheels and slap some subaru center caps and slapping them on the STi's now?

 

LoL, I knew they looked familiar. Just couldn't put my finger on it.

 

nice pix. i like it when the evo is beside its arch nemesis....

 

to the OP: its funny how you took pics w/o him knowing LOL.. both are nice cars regardless....

hmm.... i dont think those are 350z/z33 rims.. sorry..

 

Umm, why the "enemy"?

 

hehe u indeed made the rite choice my fren

 

Nice pics. Gotta be honest. I like the new STi's.

 

im with you im loving the new sti, not feeling the X.. i see more and more threads of the X and it doesnt do that much for me as evo 1-9 does...
