In the case of the evo i agree… it is a gigantic sedan.

the sti is going more to the roots and point of what the sti is supposed to be, a hatchback rally car. it’s a bit bigger than it should have been but it is by no means a “wagon” as people are calling it.

I drove the 08 wrx hatch, it handled very well even on crappy small all-seasons. I can’t wait to see what the 08 sti feels like.
