Re: 2006 Subaru WRX STi
I Still own an XT-6, AWD 6cyl boxer engine, 150hp. Not bad for 1988.
The new front is supposed to represent subaru's heritage as airplane builders, yes they did build airplanes years ago, and their engines are still used to built a lot of DIY airplane kits, I huess the middle part is the body of the airplane, and the sides the wings of course.
Subaru has always had interesting car designs. The SVX was awesome, 300hp but only came auto. A lot of people swap in a 5speed. The impreza are their best cars, and to my opinion along with the outback, what saved the company in the US market.

Just be thankful we have the STI available, we've been out of the loop for so long.

I guess they still think they are faster than the EVO's, on a straight line they are, but after that there's no competition.
If we could only get the JDM and EDM models it would be different.

Re: 2006 Subaru WRX STi
omg it does look like a pontiac. I think it still looks better thats just me though. I never really like how they looked in the first place. I think they need something new. Personally i hope they just increased its performance and manuverablility because the evo is doing some upgrades and its going to give the sti some competetion.
