2008 WRX pics from Tuner Shootout

I'm sure everyone has seen the pics of the 08 WRX already, but I got to see one in person this weekend at the tuner shootout. I don't really like it, but thought I'd share the pics I took. Click for full size.

The hatch version of the impreza makes me want to punch the designers' babies in their faces... The sedan version isn't that bad though....

I see they've already put a front mount on...

It was Perrin's car, so I'm sure there was more then a front mount on there.

Yeah, the other car was an ariel atom. Pretty cool to actually see one of those out on the track as well.

I like the way it looks. That looks like its got some stuff done to it too. Which was pretty quick. It looks lowered...unless thats the stock ride height....which would be damn nice too! and the fmic....the car has potential. But I wouldnt expect anything but hate from the nut swingers on this site lol

I don't think it looks bad at all to be honest.

The new style looks pretty slick in person but it's definitely lost the rally edges in favor of curves. The STI looks to be bringing those back which is pretty damn awesome.
