2008 STI...

It's easily the single ugliest WRX I've ever laid eyes on.

It looks great for a Mazda 3.

*emotear*

I want pix of the sedan, and I want them now.

WTF is up with that Ford reject grill?

My eyes! The goggles do nothing!

...and thus the spirit of the Impreza begins to fall.

OH THANK GOD!!!! Hopefully I've been worried for nothing.

...there does not yet exist official pics of the 2008 Subaru Impreza in the wild.

Most recent '08 Impreza shots are photoshops.

Yes, be very, very afraid!

Code: Select all

Engines carry over with emission and fuel economy improvements. The WRX’s turbocharged 2.5-liter flat-four packs the same 224 hp and 226 lb-ft of torque, but peak horsepower now comes at 5200 rpm instead of 5600, and peak torque arrives at 2800 rpm, down from 3600. The base Impreza’s 2.5-liter boxer four drops 3 hp to 170, but torque jumps to 170 lb-ft from 166.

Handling enhancements come courtesy of a lower center of gravity as a result of a lower engine mounting point, stiffer chassis and new optional vehicle dynamics control.

Inside, occupants enjoy more front shoulder room, headroom, rear legroom, new standard side-curtain airbags and higher-grade materials. An optional navigation system is available for the first time.

At least the go fast bits seem to be improving... let's hope that wasn't b/c of increased weight though...

A little more to put worrisome minds at ease.
2008 Sedan is safe

Also, more news on the 2008 Hatchback.
It still looks like a moose head.

^^^ Yep... Wow am I ever happy with my 04 at this point...

When are they going to get a good design and stick with it?!?!?!?!

Mr Kleen · Post by **Mr Kleen** » Mon Apr 02, 2007 10:19 pm

I thought that the sedan was going to have flared fenders?

maybe that's the 2.5RS?

So we are getting a subaru corolla and a subaru focus! YEAH! Somebody at SOA must owe a big favor or lost a bet for this crap to come out.

That is definitely an understatement. I would laugh so hard if this was just a scare tactic by SOA to sell up all the leftover '06/'07's...SOA will actually unveil a new Kick@$$ design a week before release.
