[Kamikaze]

Even without AWD, I'd still take the Mazdaspeed3.

[slowEG]

Yea me 2.

[Hundo®]

it looks like.. they're getting uglier. which i didn't think was possible.

[Crazy Asian]

Id rather keep the Prelude.

[aaronfelipe]

I have a feeling I am going to get so ever sick of these "This is what an STI will look like..." threads just like everyone did with the current remodeled Civic Si. No offense to the thread starter but I think I foresee this...

[Josh...]

I would rather have the Sti. But that was very gay of subaru to make a copy of the mazda speed 3.

[bigdare23]

Shit, I like it! I'm feeling the wide body lines in the rear.

[Nitro]

lol @ this thread...

[cactusEG]

i dont like it...

[Clegger]

i dont like it...

X2

[wantboost]

for once i agree with you.

[Kevykev]

Looks like EVO X + Mazda 3


i kinda like it though!

Body lines look pretty great.

Looks like a rough draft

[PhAtBoYMr2]

damn subaru is going to take a loss for this one.....

[Nemesis]

blahbity blah blah blah blah


LOL @ Subaru copied Mazda.

[Tank]

i like it

[santacruz77]

i doubt thats what its gonna look like and if it did thats lame

[yerrow]

artist rendering

[xlilvi3tx]

man oh man eww

[AnthonyF]

looks kool, but your right. it copied mazda like a motha fucka. I guess Mazda should take this as a compliment. but almost every line is exactly the same. All mazda has to do is build a better powerplant

[Nissangeek]

All mazda has to do is build a better powerplant

Not unless they throw the Renesis in there. Those little Boxer engines are pretty kick ass for what they are.

[AnthonyF]

yea. but you know they can do better. they have great capabilities

[Sol-Badguy]

The Imprezas just keep getting uglier and uglier..

The best years were 03-05 IMO.

[ranj]

if only it was two door and a lil bit shorter

[Nomad!]

I though that was the Mazda Speed 3. Will there be a non-hatch version?

[Ran]

I like the look of the new STi hatch. Much more so than the current Peugeot looking one.

[VooDooXII]

it looks like.. they're getting uglier. which i didn't think was possible.

Jeremy Clarkson said the same thing.

if they make the headlights look a bit more like the current '07 ones...narrower I guess, and if they make the grille bars between the headlights and the grill a little narrower and not silver, then I think it'd look a little better.

They really could have done better though.

[ranj]

i was at the dentist today and i read a motorsports magazine and they said they would have a sedan version, but it will only be located in north america.

the reason stated was that us northern americans don't like hatches.

[Kyle]

It's gonna be heavy as hail from what I have heard about fujiheavy industries.

[Killer]

i hate the sedan mazda 3.... and i'm not too big on the new sti's....

sucks they made basically a replica of mazda... but both cars look good as a hatch....


my neighbor has a mazdaspeed mazda 3, and i really like it...

[VooDooXII]

Those little Boxer engines are pretty kick ass for what they are.

I LOVE how they sound.


if only it was two door and a lil bit shorter

Then it'd look somewhat like a 9-3 Viggen. No need for another Saabaru...haha.


the reason stated was that us northern americans don't like hatches.

Hah...well, only Honda seemed to follow through with that logic. No Civic hatch for us. It's wagons that we don't like...but wagons under new names, like "sports tourer" :blah:...hell, as long as you don't say "wagon".


It's gonna be heavy as hail from what I have heard about fujiheavy industries.

What...are you in cahoots with Fuji Heavy Industries? Haha...nah, that's ridiculous though....a heavy car? That kinda ruins the whole idea behind cars like this.

[Kyle]

Oh very much so. :ninja:

Just you wait.

[Kamikaze]

Doesn't GM own Fuji? Or at least part of it? Or am I dreaming again?

[VooDooXII]

Doesn't GM own Fuji? Or at least part of it? Or am I dreaming again?


On October 5, 2005 Toyota (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toyota) stated that it will purchase 8.7% of the shares of FHI from General Motors (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/General_Motors_Corporation). GM announced that it will divest its 20% stake in and eventually sever all ties with FHI. FHI has stated that there have been 27 million shares (3.4%) acquired before the start of trading by an unknown party on October 6, 2005. It has been speculated that a bank or perhaps another automaker was involved.

:goodjob:

[OneSlow5pt0]

i like mazdas normal car,but they need to scrap the RX-8...and start working on a 2seater RX-9

[Kamikaze]

:goodjob:

Toyota takin' over. :yes: +1

[Extrememustang]

Not unless they throw the Renesis in there. Those little Boxer engines are pretty kick ass for what they are.
I swear you and that Renesis

[OneSlow5pt0]

I swear you and that Renesis

i like the Renesis

[_Christian_]

haha. thats lame of subaru. it reminds me of how hyundai (sp?) copies most of it's cars from others.

[ranj]

on the weight issue, i read that the new sti weights 3100 pounds!

[VooDooXII]

on the weight issue, i read that the new sti weights 3100 pounds!

That doesn't seem too heavy.

I just read in Car & Driver that the new model is only 50 lbs heavier.

[Xpsi]

I like the 04-05 better. But i'm getting used to the 06 model :D

[Humphrizzle]

thats disgusting

[esiatlanta]

i'd take sti........

[VooDooXII]

I like the 04-05 better. But i'm getting used to the 06 model :DI do like the headlights on the '06/'07 ones much better. The grille looks odd, but not terrible. I kinda works.

[88Gen1Runner]

i like the look of it. It may look a little like the Mazda 3, but it still has the aggressive looks of a Subaru

[GSRteg®]

Yup




Is it me or does the sti look like the 08 mazda speed 3.

[VooDooXII]

Have you seen this car when it's not in STi guise?

It looks even more bland...

http://www.subaru.com/sub/misc/2008/autoshow/ny0311/wrx/img/wrx/gallery/lrg/exterior/wrx_e4.jpg

In fact...I'm seeing a bit of Camry here.

http://carsmedia.ign.com/cars/image/article/645/645484/toyota-camry-se-20050825061523111.jpg

The back doesn't look good at all on the sedan.

[gtikid]

LOL @ EVO's and STI's looking like Mazda's :lmfao:

:no: :gay:

[jimbrown]

Yea they do^^ but has anyone seen the interior kinda mint.

[Maniaç]

NO FUCKING COMMENT!

[sleepys4]

Basically^

[JITB]

every time they change the subaru people cry.. than they go buy them..

[GPJamesMVT]

Those are just renderings, and do not look all that good. But when I bought mine, I didn't really like it at all, but used STis are, well, USED so... But when the actual car does come out, I think it will grow on people... Heres a few pics

[VooDooXII]

Alright, without the silver accenting around the grille, it looks much better.

I still think the headlights should be a bit narrower though.

[GPJamesMVT]

I think the silver grill looks like a Pacifica... (you know GM owns part of Subaru now... right?)

[VooDooXII]

I think the silver grill looks like a Pacifica... (you know GM owns part of Subaru now... right?)

The Pacifica is from Chrysler, and GM gave up its shares in Subaru to Toyota in 2005.

[jfman]

FUGLY

[A1EX]

i've seen the production STi in the latest Car and Driver and it looks like a freakin peugeot

[Romeo]

that thing isnt that bad looking.

[gtikid]

Those are just renderings, and do not look all that good. But when I bought mine, I didn't really like it at all, but used STis are, well, USED so... But when the actual car does come out, I think it will grow on people... Heres a few pics

These pictures definitely make the car look a lot better than the renderings....but those taillights are the :gay: Those things are super ugly :upchuck:

[VooDooXII]

Yea, I don't like how they're angled up. They did the same thing to the A5, which is a disappointment on such a great looking car...:(

[GPJamesMVT]

They'd look good either all red, or the inner housing blacked out like my headlights. But then again... that gives it more of a resemblence to the Mazda 3

[VooDooXII]

Do you have '05 tails on your '07?

I like that look.

[GPJamesMVT]

its an 06', but yeah. I HATE clear...
I painted the headlights and swapped tails.

[sleepys4]

My most successful thread yet!

[VooDooXII]

Damn that STi looks mean in white.

Haha, and congratulations sleepy :lmfao:

[allmotoronly]

hopefully it will come in a sedan model still

[VooDooXII]

hopefully it will come in a sedan model still

It's coming as a sedan too...unless you're referring to the STi variant, in which case...:dunno:

[JITB]

it kinda looks liek a suzuki Reno too...lol

^Yea! Moreso that than the Camry.

[DUBSf22c]

looks like a suzuki reno!

[BKgen®]

i liked the '04 sti... but why do they keep getting progressively uglier? They should fire their designer...
