I think they look awesome, but I wish they would change the powerplant. They’ve been using the EJ series motors for a longgg time, it’d be nice to see something different in there. If America wasn’t such a stickler on displacement, it’d be nice to see the STi’ with the EJ22 motors. Strongest 4cyl EJ series motor thanks to the fully closed deck. The STi EJ257 is either semi-closed or open.

I just started liking the 06/07 body style, it will take a few more years before 08+ grows on me.

NO Sir I dont like it!!! Its ugly as sin… it may grow on me, like the EVO X did, but I doubt it. The Bugeyed wagons were the best looking.

The EJ22t is a better block for a sleeved/high HP build, but the version 7 EJ207 (factory forged pistons) or a newer ej207 with some forged pistons can make 400-500whp all day, rev to 8500+, and take a lot more abuse than the ej257s do. I don’t understand why subaru never brought the ej207 to america.

I don’t mind it. I’ve always been a hot hatch fan. Car’s like the Focus rally, Renault Clio, and Peugeot 206 are nice looking cars to me. The newer Sti is “ok”, looks like a hodge-podge of a few other makes all stuffed into one.

Do I like it more than the previous body style?.._fuck no_. The previous variants have always looked good. Fat arch mud flap roof scoop in your face dirt jumpers, that’s what suby’s look good as…
