Looks nice. I want to see the 5 Door though.

Hrm. 265hp, and room for big tires... I might finally be interested in a wrx over an sti. Assuming the hatch looks better than that sedan.

Nick Koan 2010-03-22 11:04 PM

The fender flares are a nice shot at making that car less boring, but they don't quite help enough. Hopefully the 5-door/wagon will look decent.

Yay! They're starting to look less and less like KIAs! Sorry, but Im still in love with the older body styles.

Here's a picture of the WRX hatch

maybe that means they are going to have to step up the sti, since they are basically the same now

I'm bummed they did away with the rear LSD in MY '08. Other than fender flares, the STi still has what it's always had over the WRX, better, brakes, gearbox, diffs, and a touch more power.

But man, the 09/10 WRX is making North of 300/300 WHP/WTQ with a TBE, BC, fuel pump and a tune. I want that '11 5-door if the lack of rear diff isn't as big of a deal in reality as it is in my head.

The wing they photoshopped on looks terrible.

They (subaru) needs to offer a WRX with brakes that fit under 15" rally rims, instead of leaning on Rally-America to invent a class to allow them in a production form...

But the car looks way cool. wider track is nicer , i prefer the older Body style a lot, and the 99.3" wheel base is the hot shit!

Only way I'm driving a hatch is if someone is sponsoring me with one. :)

Think all the subarus i'm gonna buy from now on will be 07 or older. hmmf

Jeikun 2010-03-23 02:57 PM

I definitely like this new body style. I feel like it's a mix between the older styles (05-07) and newer styles (08+). Kinda wish the trunk was a little longer so that the sedan actually looked like a sedan rather than a hatchback without the hatch...

I'm pretty sure the cost of offering a production model specifically for the 8 or 10 cars per year that end up in rally isn't going to be cost effective.

Especially considering there are 4pot rally brakes available in the FHI catalog.

That's just a shark hiding under there. Maybe some sort of a porpoise.

cody 2010-03-29 04:23 PM

Looks like it's a new wing design and it looks like it's still a hatch. Pretty sure I read that the sedan was coming back, but I guess not?

Kinda looks like a fastback sedan maybe, and yeah the wing looks like a new design.

I'm with Cody. That looks like a hatch, with a WRC style wing:

well if that is the case then they should just delete the rear window.

Kevin M 2010-03-29 05:07 PM

That's just a shopping cart with a dropcloth thrown over it.

MattR 2010-03-29 05:10 PM

Maybe it's supposed to look like the new stupid IRL concept car
