Hi all, its my first time posting in this section.

Ive just seen the new Sti and good lord what a mess they have made of a once rally thoroughbred.

The front end looks like its trying to smile but it half way through it had a rethink and thought Hmmmmm i`m not sure i have a lot to smile about!

Side on it looks like some cheap far eastern shopping trolly and certainly not a pedigree rally car, the back end looks hideous with those lights and the tailgate looks wrong and doesn`t blend with the rest of the car.

It doesn`t even sound like a subaru, its got a weird sound and it doesn`t even look like an expensive car as it looks cheap and not well thought out.

Did they run a competition on the back of a kellogs cornflake pack for 4-9 yr olds to design a car and the winning design would be the subaru world rally car for this year ?

They had one on display at Yaxley shopping centre in Peterborough, the salesmen were very talkative, but i was the only one to talk to them in the hour i was there. It looked ok in white, but had the £2000 option wheels on it. Looked like a Ford focus to me, but there is a lot of legroom in the back.

BMWhere?

You can say that about any model of Impreza!

But if you think the new car looks cheap and badly designed, then the older cars must be really terrible!

Or are you just another blinkered scooby owner looking for a flame session?

oh, I wasn't going to reply but now others have... "it doesn't even look like an expensive car", well errr no it's not expensive, it's a sub 5 second 4wd hatch back for £25k. Bargain.

or another way to see it is that they've toned it down a bit so that when you go to pick up your girlfriend her parents don't laugh at you and say "who is that pillock with all the stupid spoilers coming to pick up my daughter"

If you're a true enthusiast the look of the car is irrelevant. you are buying the car for the way it drives. The whole point is the feel on the road, not the feel looking at it on your drive from inside your house.

I have to say, I've seen the new STI in the flesh and was quite impressed with what I saw. Deffo looks better in the flesh than any picture I've seen.
Interior quality is a major improvement.

I think the New Impreza is very colour sensitive. I saw a Dark Metallic Grey (almost Black) and it looked very nice. There was a WR Blue WRX there aswell, and it looked awful.

Dark Grey & Black are going to be the new WR Blue for the new shape.

I bought a wagon so must be true
