STI face lift.

that photoshop makes it look like a honda front grill section…

not bad though

Took me like 9 minutes to realize it’s not a civic SI (minivan).

i was never really a fan of the center grill on the new design, but that chop doens’t look all that great. seems unbalanced for some reason. like the headlights should be bigger or something.

if the grill opening didnt make such a distinct V, but rather only went down a little bit with no vertex in the middle, it would look a lot better i think.

The car loses all personality without the pig nose.

Ugly - It’s what makes a Subaru a Subaru.

RSX?

Word, and that pig nos was on imprezas a long time ago so its not like its something new.

:word:

Lesser of an angle helps but it’s still just not a subaru. Then again I kind of like the factory pig-nose look.

:gotme:

Absolute shit.

*TSX?

everyday i leave work i look at newmans car and think exactly what this picture looks like , damn its sucks now that i see it.

Got RX8? Thom wtf is that.

im goign to assume thats the tommy kaira bumper.

i kindof like it :gotme:

but then again i dont really have a problem with the stock look either.

yup its the tommy kaira m20b( i think way to early and way to tired to get the real name right now)

i like it but i keep seeing honda and a little bit of focus when i look at it.

stock>pshop pic.

the tommy kaira pic is awful.

Every time I see a new STi I get this feeling like I’ve seen it before somewhere. Then today for some reason it came to me. This old cartoon I used to watch when I was little, The Raccoons.

One of the characters

That’s where subie got the inspiration for their grill… I just know it!

i remember that cartoon too. Canadian animation. would you call that cananime?

Anywho the shape of the grill comes from a cross section of an airplane. Its all traditioney…yeah i made that word up.

You can see where it came from.

I actually like the tommy kaira
