The new sti makes me want to buy it and smash it into a wall.

Old STI: [http://www.liewcf.com/blog/wp-images/subaru-sti.jpg](http://www.liewcf.com/blog/wp-images/subaru-sti.jpg)

Newer STI: [http://www.edmunds.com/pictures/VEHICLE/2006/Subaru/100613622/2006.subaru.imprezawrxsti.20027170-396x249.jpg](http://www.edmunds.com/pictures/VEHICLE/2006/Subaru/100613622/2006.subaru.imprezawrxsti.20027170-396x249.jpg)

NewEST STI: [http://www.auto123.com/ArtImages/92333/2008-Subaru-Impreza-STI-i001.jpg](http://www.auto123.com/ArtImages/92333/2008-Subaru-Impreza-STI-i001.jpg)

The old one is so bomb, I can’t believe the new ones look so shitty. The new Evo 10 is going to grab a huge chunk of the market when it comes out.

Maybe its just me though, but damn those old sti’s are sexy

I think the subi designers looked at all the hot hatches…and tried to incorporate everything into one…

but honestly…how do they expect to compete against this???

people hated the 2006-2007 model, especially the front end. Now people love it since it’s “better looking” than the new 2008 model. I have a feeling that’s exactly what people will think in a couple of years when everyone gets used to the 2008 look.

IIRC the new sti was designed by a bunch of toyota guys so i assumed they wanted to make the new sti more aerodynamic to save fuel efficiency instead of having it a big blob of metal smacking the wind.

BAH. The new STI doesnt look bad in person, its actually pretty menacing. The WRX on the other hand is bland and dull. Dont judge it until you see it, same as the EVO X which the photo of the EVO X posted is a photoshop so it doesnt count much.

I’d have to say the meanest looking of all WRX - EVO cars is:

Design wise imo it’s not bad,  
it’s just bad ass in a smaller, big  
fender flared package 😃

besides it can easily take down the new EVO  
in almost everything, as demonstrated in the  
recent BEST MOTORING head 2 head battle 😉

SUBARU ftw! although the EVO is the sexier of the two!

i wouldnt doubt it, every year sti beats evo, but i think hands down the evo looks better, and has more potential to look better with a kit, the sti will just look like a riced out focus!!
