Well it looks better than the bland Corolla'esque styling of the 08-10 models but to me it looks a bit too contrived. Kind of like a stock car with an aftermarket body kit, nothing really blends in to a cohesive design. It's too bad these cars have so much body roll and handle like a FWD car because they are pretty fast in straight line.

They have quite a bit of body roll but they don't handle like a FWD car.

A lot of cars understeer in stock trim, whether they're FWD, AWD or even RWD. That is something Subarus are prone to though, tweaking the suspension a bit helps though as does being rough on corner entry.

Boy do those front wheels ever look small and tucked in with the new fender flares. The silver piece on the trunk has to go as well as doesn't blend in well.

I totally agree with you. I think it would look great with some gold/bronze/black Advan RZ's. 18x9.5 with a +35 offset. On coilovers of course.

Agreed, 8.5" wheels would make it look way better and maybe paint that stripe matte black.

Um....what? So the STI will probably look like the new wrx sedan (widebody and all) with the only distinction being a large wing?
Yay for WRX'ers
Nay for STI'ers

No different than the 04-07 WRX to the 04-07 STI relationship.

True, but they moved to the sti-only widebody after that and to change back isn't something I like myself...but then I like the way did it with the new ralliarts not looking like the new evo's.

There's a rumor that Mitsubishi is planning the same thing with the Ralliart.
