the pic of the STI hatch isn’t TOO bad, but they could have done a better job i think 04/05 front end \> 06+ imo ---

Grill = The Poop Body = Functionality??? Most WRC cars are rockin hatches now, im thinking there may be some sort of method to the madness. I think that sides shot does look pretty hot almost like an even more badass mazda 3 hatch ---

I could see them doing the hatch thing to keep up with the “standards” in WRC. that would make sense to me I guess. with how much they put into the WRC series, it probably weighs a lot on their decisions ---

At this point in time tho can anyone honestly say (at least subaru owners) that there is any body style that they truly hate. I was the biggest advocate for 06+ hate, and eventually I almost traded my 05 in for an 06 and I know im not the only one who warmed up to it. imho, all body styles have ended up hot, 93 all the way to 07 in hatch or sedan so I bet people will come around to this one too. (not to mention all the aftermarket vendors who eat subaru up and most likely will provide a new grill asap.) ---

yes please. it needs a new front lower valence… maybe just white or yellow (not orange) indicators, but the rest of the car is the BALLS. ![http://dinzlink.net/wp-content/uploads/2006/03/wrx22bsti.jpg](http://dinzlink.net/wp-content/uploads/2006/03/wrx22bsti.jpg) ---

Speaking of the 22B, why isn’t subaru just doing that again and celebrate the 50th anniversary with a limited amount of amazing sti. Rather than completely redesign the wrx? ---
