Both Mitsu and Subie have gone soft to try and reach a different age market.

no more, is the aggressive lines, raw power, and limited feature models.

welcome, soft round lines, M3 wannabe features, bluetooth, and sunroofs.

Wow, First off the wing is a combo of the EVO IX and EVO X put together. Look at the two side pieces of the wing, that's from the EVO IX and the spoiler/ truck attachments are from the EVO X. And finally the rear bumper, this you can tell was taken from the BMW M5 as they modded it a little so it has its own appeal.

Besides that this actually looks a lot better then the Hatch, but the tail lights as people pin pointed is horrible, they should have stuck with altezza style lights. All in all, Subaru really needs a new designer, it seems as though the WRX line-up is getting less and less appealing to the eye. Its starting to become one of those cars you just have to except. Nonetheless they're still one of the best choices of sport cars for under $50,000.

Mitsu will not decontinue the EVO line-up but instead add an addition to the EVO XI.

I don't know about that. IMO the EVO X looks much better than the IX or VIII. Subarus have always looked meh to me and this 2011 model doesn't do anything to change that. As for sunroof and bluetooth if you don't have the features you won't sell cars simple as that as you can't successfully market a car to a tiny segment that doesn't require creature comforts. How many people here were whining about not having radio controls standard on the steering wheel here? You have to reasonably equip cars when you are charging over $30K.

One of the better looking WRX Sti's I seen in years; I like the 4-Doors & the trunk (like my Evo ).
I never liked the 5-door. Sorry but all Hach-back cars always look low-end to me . Its nice see something different then the STI in hach back form.

I don't like the rear wing but it looks pretty good besides that.

not bad. So much better than the STI hatchback garbage. The designer who came up with that needs to shoot himself
