Official 08 STI Pics
Press Release:
Subaru offers the new AWD performance icon
Concept
The new WRX STI was developed with the eternal theme and essence of the driverʼs car, the "total driving control," that the preceding WRX STI models also pursued. This AWD sports model gives maximum driving pleasure through its combination of power, performance, handling and ride capabilities thanks to engineering exclusively designed for the WRX STI and its five-door package. It also balances excellent safety and environmental aspects at a high level.
Styling
Using a new five-door body style developed from the Impreza model, the new Impreza WRX STI displays a powerful design language that speaks directly to its performance credentials, integrating function and beauty. Adopting shortened front and rear overhangs, a longer wheelbase and widened body flares, the Impreza WRX STI clearly embodies driving performance in dynamic exterior design that delivers as overwhelming presence and beauty.
Performance
The new Horizontally-Opposed 2.0-liter four-cylinder turbocharged engine was developed exclusively for the new WRX STI. By further improving the basic performance of the engine, and mating it to SI-DRIVE (SUBARU Intelligent Drive), the WRX STI offers not only outright performance as might be expected, but also delivers excellent handling under extreme as well as normal driving conditions. Featuring Subaru's unique Symmetrical AWD and specially developed in-house 6-speed manual transmission as its base technologies, multi mode DCCD* and VDC**, which control traction and stability more precisely, have also been added to WRX STI. To complete its performance credentials, the evolved chassis by "Subaru Dynamic Chassis Control Concept" has dramatically improved road-hugging capability and will provide exhilaration and confidence in every driving situation.

Wow... It looks a hell of a lot better than what I had pictured. The interior is absolutely phenomenal. The first thing I'd change though are the rear tail lights. I think they would look so much better if they were blacked out like the headlights.

The four door hatch look isn't doing it for me. It looks a lot like a Lexus SUV in the back and I hate the clear taillights. If it was a 2 door and had black taillights maybe.
Now this is how a hatch should be done.
