I love the STi hatch. If they keep the weight down, it'll kick ***. Especially since it's gonna be wider than the previous ones and sport double wishbone rear suspension.
Can't wait to see comparos between new Evo and new STi.

Those new pics make the STi look so much better, especially with those flares.
Not so bad afterall!

It's too early to judge. Test mules are always ugly anyway, so I don't know why anyone's making a decision before some real numbers have been posted.

I'm leaning towards the STI over the X because it's a hatchback. Hatchbacks are fun, and (in general) tend to be a bit more agile. The convenience of the "hatch" part of it is also a plus.

If the Mazdaspeed 3 was AWD, I'd be all over it. The STI fills that void.

I'm so excited to see both cars, Subaru always makes cars that look a little stupid, but it can grow on you. The hatch at the auto show wasn't that bad, hopefully it will be small and light.

Nah....That's a basic WRX... I wouldn't rely on anything coming from NAsioc!...NASIOC IS garbage nothing but standard WRX fanboys who flame every thread! And i'm an STi owner and can't stand NASIOC!

The STi will have fender flares....This is close to the real deal...Nowhere as sexy as evo x.

If the STI were to have similar shape and better performance than X, I would consider X vs STI question at least.

That huge WRC wing looks killer. I'd rock it.
