STI = scaled down fat SUV for ladies.

It could be funny if it were not so painfully sad.

That clear tail light cover really irks me.

Sti's were built so Evo's could own them. That's their only reason for existing.

It is quite a change. But i do believe there are some better pictures out of the car. I know that they wont really change minds..but take a lot at this.

Yes i know that it is still different than the sti that we have come to know...but i do believe both companies, mitsu and subaru are trying to adapt and grow with the new car community.

they do have a 4door sedan STI. it isn't just the hatch. they are just giving the hatch more press.

i think the 08 wrx looks like a female 08 lancer... lol the lancer is all sharp and big and the wrx is all sort and rounded.

I think scooby should call it a crossover now after the comparo between it and the lexus.......IT'S NOT EVEN A SPORTS CAR ANYMORE......all I can say is it looks like MITSU will win this round.....which you know what that means.....THEY STAY IN THE U.S. !!!!!!!!
