I think a flat black thru-n-thru version would be pretty sweet.

MUST KEEP WALLET IN POCKET!
MUST NOT THINK OF BUYING NEW STI!
MUST BE HAPPY WITH WHAT I HAVE!

yes, followed by "in the UK."

it's highly unlikely we will see a diesel powered Subaru for some time, if ever.

Should be followed by is effin lame. If there's a sedan sti then I might be tempted to trade my 05. But give me a break Subaru. Make an STi that looks good! not like a damn grocery getter.

Hmm...dual exhaust and IDrive. Not looking too good. Maybe it will get better. All we have is our hope.

Now we're getting somewhere!

I like the dual twin-tip exhaust, the flared fenders, the wing and the front fascia. Now I'm definitely thinking "Hot Hatch!"

Note the dyno chart, nearly 350 hp. The torque is measured in kgm (kilograms per meter) and comes out to around 325 in ft/lbs.

And no, I'm still not loving the clear taillamps. But hey, that's what ruby lith is for. And the grille still isn't there for me yet, but I'm sure that can be remedied cheaply and easily.

I think the new WRX could make numbers just like this and more, for very little money. I think it could also look just like it as well, except perhaps for the fender flares.

fender flairs are the only thing saving the 08 Impreza design from FAIL. :( I like to think I'm a function over form guy but there's only so much I can take.

in 2008 and in my price range, I'd be looking long and hard at the Lancer RallyArt.
