New Sti from Tokyo Show

Hope this isn't a repost. I already prefer this to the X. Lighter, faster, proven motor with endless aftermarket options, and IMO better looking. Also cheaper. Don't get me wrong. I'm keeping my Evo 8 until the wheels fall off.

Not really feeling the hatchback look. Maybe it will grow on me.

Who cares what they look like. You can't see it from the drivers seat.

Im not into hatchbacks but i do like the fact it is smaller probably fun to throw around,not sure if i can say the same for the X no doubt still handles really well but just doesnt seem like it will be as nible.

motor is new so its unproven, no aftermarket support yet either.. The subaru is not so bad, its just the back, but I still prefer the X..

I heard the motor wasn't new. Just a more powerful iteration of the old flat 4(same block, etc.) unlike the Evo. If true, reliable upgrades will be available very soon, and many existing mods may still fit (like turbo kits).

I like the old one better it looks to much like a Ford Focus.
