I didn't buy an sti for looks or a pretty interior. I don't think that many people do. For me, it's the versatility and amazing handling in all conditions. The base wrx is a much bigger bargain, but I doubt looks are a big concern for wrx/sti buyers.

I agree, to a point, but that wing is...its a ricers wet dream. Thats the best Subaru could do? Really? OMG. I dont care if this eat Veyrons for breakfast for $35K, it just has that "Goofball, assh*le, punk" look behind the wheel. No bueno!!

That isn't new, though. These cars have always looked "boy racer"

But I just drove my performance car in four inches of packed snow with two labradors in tow. Looks be damned, it's a lot of car for money.

But I do prefer the hatch, in part due to the wing.

Love that blue and gold combo. But needs to be a hatch

why oh why, subaru, do you not give us a hatch version :(

pretty nice but that might be one of the biggest wings I've ever seen

the f-'s with that stupid arse rear wing? thought by now ricors would've graduated from that crap. :ugh:

other then that it looks fairly normal... nothing really exciting. could be the camera.
i also agree about the interior. :ugh: depressing.

i dont like that bus steering wheel angle... either. :ugh:

so i guess :ugh2: for me. but thanks for sharing op! :tup:

Manufacturer plate…….dead give away. I see that in the DC area with Audis who have their HQ in Herndon. At times they get cars we never get here and they drive them around the DC area to tease people.

do these handle better than SUVs like jeeps and 4runners/land cruisers in inclement weather and off roading/rock climbing? i may consider one for my next DD

e: assuming you'd have to lift it like this. looks pretty cool

xip- isn't the forester suppose to fill that void? :confused: not sure.

i use to own a new 06 legacy wagon back in the day. was nice... other than the fact that it had all sorts of warranty issues on that pos. :shakes head: and my local subaru dealer being an arse did not help the situation either.

I do like it, though the blue with gold wheels will always look like a youngster's car to me.

The wing is a bit much, admittedly. Since the Evo's future is up in the air and they're already starting to copy the front end, why not bring in a similar wing like the Evo's? So perfect.

Put that in silver or some other color with some aggressive but grown-up wheels, and that car is tight. People either like it or hate it, and I happen to actually like its look.

LOVE IT!... the color that is, because everything else :wtf2:

Swap trunks with a wingless WRX and pick up a set of silver wheels and I'll take one.

oh yeah i think so. i don't keep up with subarus, probably should take a look at their whole lineup :)

I wonder if they've finally fixed the crap stock tune so it doesn't break ringlands bone stock.
