Repost. Not the new STi, most likely a test vehicle for the new WRX. Yes, those a GL.

It was probably a test mule, as it has Jersey plates.. Their NA headquarters are in Cherry Hill NJ.

The front bumper for some reason reminded me of the protege ES for some reason but I actually like it if it looks like that.

i have the new sport compact car magazine that has lots of pics. I'm not a fan , i would much rather have an 05' body style

The recent Motor Trend or Road & Track, heck one of those magazines has the new 08 EVO and 08 STI on the front as well as an average review inside. Interesting as it is, I do not like the new regular WRX as shown in the earlier post however, the new STI has different lines, flared fenders, spoilers etc. and it looks great. But then again pushing now over $35000, yes that's right folks over $35000 for a new STI semi-loaded, sorry they can keep it. A nicely loaded one is $37 - $38000...

Also what was interesting about the 08 STI are the specs (magazine). It stated 320HP with 320ft/lbs of torque, 0-60 was 4.5 and the 1/4 was in the upper 12's. My opinion is if you have an 05 - 07, KEEP IT!

amen brother.

amen brother.

+1 Definitely! The 05 is the best looking but I would still take an 06 or 07 over the new 08.

I think the rear will look pretty good as soon as you get rid of that chrome.

Still ugly.

Worst bodystyle ever!

Bring back the 02 bug eyed body style. That was my favorite!(headbang)

VOMIT !!!! (blarf)

EVO X FTW !!! I know where my money is going next year (spin) Cant wait to get the 10.

I would still rather buy a Mazdaspeed 6 over this any day. Unless Subaru comes out with a Legacy Sti.

That's the one I was reading. Thanks! I personally like the 08 STI better than the regular trimmed 08 WRX. It's certainly not an 05 or even an 06 or 07, but the STI is not that bad. Also allot of you are saying you don't like the rear bumper, well that plastic insert, in case you were not sure, is an air difusser. It's not some funky plastic piece to annoy you. However, at the nicely loaded price pushing $38000+ they can keep it for some time to come. I would buy a used 05 - 07 before I paid that.
