I like the engine and thats it. Even the steering wheel is dissapointing.

The HIDs are nice too. It amazes me how Subaru doesn't offer HIDs on the Legacy, but they do on the STi.

This new STI looks ridiculously badass, and the price was already announced at $34,995.
here's the video

Well, so much for breakfast staying down. The front looks like a European Ford, the rear just screams "cheap ricer altezzas" !!!

Did Bangle somehow know anyone in Subie's style department ??

I like it. It's probably going to be my gift to myself when I graduate.

Yes I was hoping it would be mine too, however I think Ill give myself an '06/'07 instead. This STi is slower than the last. Boo!

But it's more comfortable as a daily driver, which is what I need when I graduate. We'll see though, it's a little less than a year when I look for a car and I may just drive my car into the ground before I purchase a car and pay off school loans first.

Oh I LOVE that place!! I went there back in March. Freakin incredible and good prices too. Now they cant stop sending me emails.

As for the STI, I just cant get myself to like it. Maybe when I see it in person my opinion will change.

Such a strange looking car.... that front silver grill trim thing reminds me of Honda's look.

i love the gray one. drop it, put some nice lightweight wheels and I think it'll look even better. I like how it's more matured (for the lack of better word) and not a boy racer anymore...even though I'll miss the GC/GD body style.

the front side vents on the bumper gotta go though.
