    Default I just drove the 08 STI

    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.

    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!

    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.

    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

    Wrong, I drive a Yaris which is a two-door hatch. The Fit is a four-door hatch and thus is also a station wagon.

    I've been in an instigating mood lately so don't mind me if I bash these cars. I'm just bored.
