The new WRX STI

[rollazn]

Well, that makes sense. But, the way he worded it made no sense.

Hilg

I understand. I had to re-read it as well - so you're not the only one.

 

[a6m5]

I belive Emohawk was talking about, that "style" of lamps in general. I think the new Passats has them, too? Looks great on it.

 

[Emohawk]

Two out of three people understand what I'm talking about, good enough for me.

 

[LSQuicksilver]

It's growing on me. And it's not as bad as the Tribeca.

But why do such a radical change? It's not like the current STi is ugly or anything....

 

[Cap'n Jack]

Hmmm, 206kw V8 basher, nice.

 

[Joey D]

Holy SAAB look a like. The more I look at the new subby the more I think of the bastard step child of a 9-3 and an Alfa Romaro. I know there are many similarness between the SAAB and the Subby but this is rediculious.

Hilg

Actually, it made perfect sense to me; and I agree with him.

Saab and Alfa Romeo. I love both of those guys. Now Subaru joins the club!

 

[~SpoonDC5~]

Hate the damn 06 STI..i would never buy the new one, and better off looking for the laster year model whic is more better than the current 06 one..hate the rear and the front..looks so gehtto...tribeca is beautiful and very elagant in the inside very stylish..but the outside looks like it came from space and got tormented and shaped to a UGLY looking piece of ****..

 

[Kutscher80]

It's easily putting over 280hp. They are just claiming that to please the "agreement".

It's a known fact that Toyota Supra and Nissan Skyline GTR pushes out at around 300hp.

Hi!

I don´t like the front of the new Impreza.

The 04 Model looks way better.


In Germany the Toyota Supra had officially 330 hp!! With the same engine as in Japan. So rollazn you are right on that. 👍

Have Fun

 

[PS]

It has a hot ass.

 

[Woolie Wool]

It's really not all that bad.

 

[Woolie Wool]

My EYES!

 

[McLaren'sAngel]

My EYES!

Hiya! Meow! (='.'=)

You forgot to "tap"(turn it sideways) that card! 👍

After all these pictures, I still can't grow into liking it.

 

[Slick6]

After seeing one in person, I must say that it is definately my favorite design ever. I hope Subaru is still making this bodystyle in 2008 or so, because I'd love to get my hands on one.

 

[rollazn]

To me it's still the worst Impreza design so far. Hopefully it'll grow on me. I wasn't so fond of the bug eyes at first either but they grew on me.

The new Impreza STi Spec C Type RA looks nice. Minor tweaks on the exterior and minor tweak in performance because of the weight loss and other minor engine tweaks.

The Spec C Type RA - looks better.

WRX STI spec C is very suitable for racing due to its lightened body and high performance engine.

Major Features of the finely tuned new Impreza WRX STI spec C

* Compared to the Impreza WRX STI, Impreza WRX STI spec C is about 70 kilograms (155 lbs) lighter through the adaptation of lighter glass, a trunk lid composed of aluminum, and thinner roof construction.
* Reinforcing braces have been added to the front strut tower on the WRX STI spec C. In addition, the solid bars used to connect the front pillar and upper frame have been replaced by enhanced hollow bars and rigidity of chassis have been improved
* A rear crossbar has been fitted to further improve body rigidity.
* The turbocharger in the Impreza WRX STI spec C uses precise ball bearings in the shaft to reduce friction, thereby offering a smooth and speedy turbo boost and providing ideal engine response.
* A large water reservoir for the intercooler water spray as well as an air-cooled engine oil cooler have been implemented to ensure stable engine performance.

Well, I saw my first '06 STi in the metal yesterday. While I can't say I really like it, I can say it doesn't look as bad as the pictures in real life, as opposed to the Tribeca which actually looks worse in real life (and I didn't believe that was possible).

The new nose wouldn't prevent me from owning one if the chance arose, and that's saying something.

How the hell does a car look "ghetto"? Is there some underground car manufacturer I don't know about that makes vehicles from other stolen car parts or something?

 

[MistaX]

I saw 3 today at the Evo vs WRX shootout.


They're as ugly in person as in pictures.

 

[1X83Z]

As I told MistaX, I think it's pretty comical that they restyled the Impreza in 2002, 2004, and 2006, yet the best-looking model is a Saab.

Oh by the way, the obligatory plugs:

Don't get me wrong. I usually love Saab cars, but those Saabarus were just too weird for me. They look like Saab/Subaru mutants.

 

[Joey D]

Yup I would much rather own a Saab, since it's more of a status car.

They look like kit car Saabs. "Turn your Subaru into a Saab with these body kits!".

 

[Joey D]

Well I like more of a car makes the man type of person. If someone sees you get out of a Saab they will assume you are wealthy or higher class, if you get out of a WRX they will assume you are a boy racer. I'm not a big fan of the WRX's for whatever reason. Probably because the majority of people I see driving WRX's...STI to be precise are mid 30's men who wanted a chearper sports car.

Doesn't the Saab (with 227hp like the WRX) only comes in a wagon form? I think the WRX Sedan looks better than the 9-2X Wagon. Unless you want the more expensive and better looking 9-3 Aero Sport Sedan ($33,570, 17 hp less and 4 more lb. ft. of torque).

If someone sees you get out of your Saab wagon, they will probably assume your a soccer mom.

 

[1X83Z]

If someone sees you get out of a Saab, they'll assume you're a total jackass with no regard for anyone or anything.

Sorry - I'm not a major fan of the people who drive Saabs, and I'm even less of a fan of Saab itself. One of the only cars on sale in 1998 that remains on sale unchanged today is the Saab 9-5. Another is the Ford Crown Victoria, and another is the Ford E-series cargo van. How the hell can Saab even pretend to justify that?

I'm to the point where I've stopped letting Saabs in in traffic. Except for the 9-7X, that is: those things are sexy.

Yes.

 

[xcsti]

Agreed.

The saabaru isn't half bad. I'd take a normal wrx above it though.

 

[VIPFREAK]

Hmm.. Saab... forgot about them. That might look kick ass since the old one did better than the WRX.

[a6m5]

I do agree with you. It's little stereotypical. I'm not sure about the Saabs, but definitely not true on WRXs. Kind a deadon on the STi though.
