interior looks niiiice, exterior not so much. its an ok looking car, but i nothing grabs me and i really dont identify with it at all like i would with all other current model subarus. if its a great performer it will have a bit of an appeal to me, but it will still be the bastard child of the subaru family.

WOW. That is plainly and simply awful. Damn, I really wanted to buy another STi when mine dies in about 100k miles or so...now, that ain't happenin'. WAY more stealth (which is nice for cops and stoplight drags) but that's the only thing I can positively comment on. This heralds the death of a beautiful vehicle.

What're the stats, Nate? HP, ft-lbs, weight, 0-60, 1/4 mile...forget it I'll search.

*EDIT* - Which wheels pictured come stock? The first set is god-awful.

I like it, I'd buy one if I had the $$.

The wide fenders got my sold.

Is there a choice where I want one but I can't afford it? LOL

Ahh I clicked I'm on the list.

wagons ftw...boo to all you wagon haters...I am planning to trade in my 02 bugeye for one of these beasts...overall, i like everything about it - exterior and interior however it looks a little round in the back...i would of made it a little sharper like the previous wagon models but that is just my opinion...how much will this thing cost with the dealer markup?

I hope this poll doesn't go to SOA..... turning it into a mazda"ish" hatch with tribeca tails def. doesn't do anything for me or any of the WRX/STi fans I know. 1st gen, they had the right idea. 2nd gen (with its different grill/headlight/scoop changes just look bad@$$. I guess I'll have to rethink the subaru customer loyalty program unless I'm able to grab one of the last remaining '07 STI's.

When the first pictures came out, I hated it! I just bought a new pignose STI, but when I look back at when the pignose came out, I hated that as well... The more I stare at the new look the more I'm starting to like it!

I like it. The WRX was disappointingly bland, but when the WRC prototype was unveiled, I was excited about the wide-body look. I feared it wouldn't carry over to the STi, but it did! Good job, Subaru. Still, not enough of an advance to replace my (3000 lb) bugeye.

How could you possibly know that. Do you think his STi is stock? I don't think I have me another STi owner that didn't have a bunch of power and suspension mods. And I have met alot of other STi owners. What a silly and unfounded assertion.

Hey ace. SOA wants us to call it a hatch. But, it's got FOUR doors ~ guess what, that's a 'wagon'. If you want to call it a hatch, then tell SOA to make you a TWO door hatch!

I'll keep calling it a 'wagon', 'cause it is!

You might consider mechanically restoring your current car. That's what I am doing based on the outlook for the brand. I am pretty satisfied. Well, that and I am almost done too. about 95% done. I almost forgot how well it drove when I bought it. Beating the hell out of it for so long had my STi on it's last legs until recently.

It looks better than the WRX, but I still don't like it. Looks like a Mazda 3, or a Kia.

I never thought of that. That's right technically it is a wagon. Not a hot hatch.
