2008 STi Teaser pic on Jap site

http://www.subaru.jp/impreza/wrx_sti/photo.html

Since everyone on this forum hates the X we can hope that the STI crushes it!!!

From that picture if those are the production flares... this car will be nice. Seems like the STI on nasioc is getting so much love compared to the X. No one liked the impreza but the STI might just save subaru's ****. That car looks hot



Oh and this looks very similiar to the camoed car that edmunds inside lines just put up, the blue one

Sorry to the evo owners
But the new STi is way more eye catching than the X

The scoop is a little too massive (only saw the WRX models so far) for my taste, but I do love wagons/hatches.

Here are some more close ups of the Nurburgring test car. Looking like the tables have turned.

I agree it looks nice but doesn't look like they really went with a new design. Looks like the 07 with much cleaner aggressive lines imo.

It may look like the 07 but maybe subaru went a better route than mitsubishi. They probably introduced the look with the 07 then transitioned into this hatch, but even then i think this looks ways better than the outgoing sti

Look at mitsu the 9 to the X and it stirred up a hurricane of hate in here..

Oh and the scoop... it might look big on the aerial view but look at it from the side views and other angles and it is not obnoxious at all. If you compare it to the 04-07 this scoop is way better incorporated than those models which looked like it was just tacked on.

All im hoping for is those flares to make it into production since its on their jap website...
