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

    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...

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

    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

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

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

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

    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.

    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.

    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" ...hell, as long as you don't say "wagon".

    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.
