Havnt read it yet, but i cant imagine it will be around long.
So no time to waste!

[Benbay001]

I had best get saving!

Not too sure on first glance but it does look better than I'd expected

[crazy about cars]

Glad Subaru is still forging on with the WRX... does look a bit like the Evo X to me though.

It has a wing on the back and a scoop on the bonnet if thats what you mean?
And this is the WRX STI, the proper one
The WRX has already been revealed.

No the "shark nose" front does remind me a little of the EVO X :

[aspirated]

I like it, well done Subaru

It will be interesting to see if it comes to the UK.
I'm guessing price wise it may struggle against the German cars, especially if Subaru have not upped the low rent - but ultimately hard wearing and rattle free interiors.
I liked the 3 Scoobies I had but I do feel the game has moved on (or I've got older)and want something that feels good inside and in decent on fuel and road tax. Not traditionally strong point of Subaru.

I do hope its a return to Subaru of old

Surely performance for performance, the germans have nothing that will better the STI in mpg and tax band?

Misproportioned and fast and furious. No thanks.

[Contigo]

Average looking rice machine.

Err yes I think so, in 2008 I swapped my 05 blog STI for an Audi S3. If I had gone for a new 2008 Subaru STI it would have been top rate tax so was £430 or £440 at that time, compared to £265 for the Audi. Smaller size engine in the Audi 2.0 compared to 2.5, pretty similar bhp output (though Audi was always quoted as less most where 285 out of the factory - many rolling roads proved this) and much better mpg on the Audi. And better 3 year value on the Audi. Running my S3 for 3 years cost me less in fuel, road tax and insurance than my 2005 Blob STI.
And the Audi S4 was often quoted as the alternative car - lol bit more price wise though !

Looks good, better than the last offering. Good on Subaru.

I like this....a lot! Is going to need more than 300bhp though, with the extra weight of 4wd and body size over the hotter hatches, and can they please include forged pistons to put the EJ25 engine debacle behind them?

Wow…normally I'd try to think of a smart-arse comment but am actually shocked at how similar it looks to an Evo X…having said that though, it's no bad thing!

[Mastodon2]

Looks a lot like an Evo X, which is no bad thing. It's quite good looking actually.

[GG89]

First picture looks hideously out of proportion to me, reminds me of the infamous proton gen 2.

The other photos don't look as bad.

[Pablo68]

Looks like the bd love child of an Evo and a Focus that landed on some old skool scoobie gold rims.

Mind you hats off to Subaru for still producing fast petrols.

[anonymous-user]

It already look out of date
