New Subaru Impreza WRX STI Thread

[martinbo]

I just wish they'd fit conventionally coloured tail-lights "Audi-style" rather than these awful aftermarket riced units. It would transform the back of the car and make it look so much less of a Tokyo special. LED's are one thing but hardly an excuse for a lack of taste. Bugs me. A lot.

I don't know, I am used to the Subaru Impreza being a sedan - not a hatch. But the good news is that this body style - and Subaru's legendary rally/AWD reputation remind of one of the greatest rally cars ever made.


This:

I'm sorry but I disagree.
The Lancia Delta S4 was 2 door hatch, and was a Delta in name only.
It, the S4, was actually mid-engine like F1 single seaters and unlike the front engined real Lancia Delta production car, and was both turbocharged and supercharged.


BTW its rival the Peugeot 205 T16 Evo2 was also cool.

Well it was cool nonetheless.

I grew up watching that thing on TV etc.

Seemingly a new STI teaser pic... don't know its source but it looks good enough to post:

Now that looks F__king sick. Seriously, as much as an R32 costs in the US, I rather get an STi or Evo any day of the week and out lap those poor VW guys any day.

A few more photos. It is looking much better than the standard version already. Just look at those wheelarch flares and the quad exhaust. More here Subaru WRX STi Caught Undisguised

It screams ricer because of those cheap looking low-budget-after-market-type of rear lights!

I hope they don't put that in the production version.

I never really watched WRC on TV. I just remember the Lancia Delta being shown a lot on TV, together with the awesome Lancia Stratos!
