I just drove the 08 STI

[EJ25RUN]

we got 2 cars last night!

a blue one and a white one going to the AJC Auto Show

i drove it for its pdi inspection.

My Top Gear review....

Interior is NOT rubbish... very nice actually 25x better than my '06 STI
the entire feel... yes its comfortable but its still so fast and takes corners like nothing. On 78 there was a bag in the lane and at the last second i avoided it and the car felt like i was going straight.

This is gonna be an awesome car.

NO NOT FOR SALE YET SO DONT ASK! & NO YOU CANT LOOK AT IT!

Ill post a pic i took but these cars arnt for showing, like i said just here waiting for the auto show coming up.

[On_Her_Face]

i hate the way they look but like all the previous models

[Maniac1]

Thats awesome to hear dude! LOL you're one lucky bastard, thinking of trading your STI of one? :p

mines a lease and i like it too much too pull the trigger this early....

+ lets do some math

these new cars have navigation and are gonna cost a dealer premium when new so expect them to be 40k+.

ill stick with mine for now.

[EJ25RUN]

F***********************ck that.

i agree... this, the new R35, and the new EVO will do the same.

if you want to pay MSRP you gotta preorder right now!

otherwise + $2,000, $3,000, $4,000

[MistaCee]

The STI definatly looks wayy better

[Maniac1]

From the video you posted not only does the new STI handle better, it's noticeably quicker than the previous year! :) I can't wait to see what a modded and tune one can do! Oh, and the new EVO X looks gay and is slower than the previous year LOL!

[The Yousef]

In this instance, yes they do look the same. Not identical, but very similar.

[Ran]

They look like twins to me. I prefer the MS3 styling to the STi myself. I don't like the goofy headlights, ricey taillights, or off-design fender flares of the STi.

the STI and the Focus SVT are the same car.

[EJ25RUN]

the STI and the Focus SVT are the same car.

and both are better than your z

[EJ25RUN]

In this instance, yes they do look the same. Not identical, but very similar.

similar is different than the same, the STI IS REAL BEAFY WITH THOSE WIDE FENDERS AND LOOKS MORE AGRESSIVE THAN A MS3 *CAPS LOCK OFF* sorry typing with one finger

[Ran]

and both are four-door station wagons for soccer moms with penis envyFixed

[EJ25RUN]

Fixed

haha ok ok thats funny!

[Maniac1]

FixedDoes it matter if they're a 4 door hatch? The STI does have some similarities with the SVT, MS3, and any other wagon. BUT performance it was really matters here! Not how they looks. And why are you making fun of them? You drive a FIT! :p

[On_Her_Face]

the new sti is so ulgy to me, last years bodystyle was pretty good looking, and the generation before looked even better.. IMO they are going the right way in performance but wrong way with looks

[Ran]

Does it matte if they're a 4 door hatch?Yes, yes it does.

And why are you making fun of them? You drive a FIT! :pWrong, I drive a Yaris which is a two-door hatch. The Fit is a four-door hatch and thus is also a station wagon.

:D

[The Yousef]

fuk all of you...I'M MAKING A POLL!

i thought 100% same thing but it really grew on me and most people on nasioc and wrxatlanta are same way!

i want to make a poll :cry:

:DLOL! You have a point! And a Yaris? W0rd? I thought it was a FIT, oops! :tongue:

last years model grew on me, however i have a gut feeling this years model won't

[Ran]

LOL! You have a point! And a Yaris? W0rd? I thought it was a FIT, oops! :tongue:I've been in an instigating mood lately so don't mind me if I bash these cars. I'm just bored. :cheers:

[EJ25RUN]

When is the AJC Auto Show

ROYAL!!!! that was the othercars being tested prolly... you near decatur?

[Nemesis]

Absolutely awesome car, I just think their asking price is a wee bit much for a Subaru.

[On_Her_Face]

^x2

[EJ25RUN]

^x2

I think its part of subaru's push to bring the sti in a competition with cars like the m3 and vette.

[Nemesis]

I would think it would be serious competition for those cars if they brought it down to a price that people that couldnt afford a new vette or M3, could afford.

[On_Her_Face]

I think its part of subaru's push to bring the sti in a competition with cars like the m3 and vette.

they definitly need to change the looks then

not trying to brag but just and example.

lets say the common public man has 40grand and he can either get a vette with 10yr/100,000 mile warrenty or a sti (with their warrenty) which is the general public going to pick?

maybe if they change the looks like i stated before it would be great competition with the e92 m3/vette class (i do not consider the e46 in the same class as a corvette in stock form)

ok on paper the general has that warranty but Subaru has better ranking on consumer reports and edmunds and crash tests.... we really sell lots of cars tanks to them. whens the last time you saw a vette with 230,000 miles. we get atleast 3 a week getting oil changes at those miles.

[1000cckiller]

You dont have to post a pic. The will be on the dealer lot next week, or the week after.
