Let's be honest noboby cares what subarus look like, let's just hope they didn't dilute the Sti like they did the rest of the line up

I mean tame it down for the commom folk. You know improved ride, reduced NVH added weight lower performance etc.

The car is definitely watered down. The look is a 180 degree departure from what WRC and WRX fans expect and want. With that said, Subaru rocks hard.

turbo 28 this new wrx is lighter than the previous models. yes its looks have been toned down,but the word on the street is the new sti will be faster and handle better than any other previous model.

It might be lighter but nobody that's tested it seems to think its as quick. Don't get me wrong I am number#1 Subie fan but I'm no in love with the direction right now

ronnsscooby, that's correct however we'll have to see what the numbers say. And the put it to the ultimate test...the seat test. Who said Volvo for life...it should be Subaru for life. Yellow cake!!!
