2011 WRX gets the STI's 'widebody'

[bobotech]

I used to think Subys were awesome looking. I always loved the early-mid 2000s models but their sense of style is going in all the wrong directions.

yuck.

[fiznowler]

And I thought my kouki's front bumper had to many vents, holes, lights and crap on it..... that thing is way to busy. I do like the body style before this though.

yep 04/05 FTW

^^THIS

04/05 was the best by far. I happen to prefer 04 because I like the older interior (and because I owned one), but I'm probably in the minority.

The 06-08 "flying vagina" was awful, current car is slightly less awful, and the bugeye was okay.

[Urabus GodofTraction]

Hell no. Everyone knows the bugeye is the best. f***.

[AZ89two4Tsx]

Best model of STI.



The new body styles look like robots, yuck.

[krash]

I used to not like that one as much as the previous generation, but its grown on me.

[skydragoness]

Agreed. I thought the new Toyota WRX looked bad enough already...the widebody is even worse. And those "I wish I was a GTR" WRX badges on the front fenders are capital STUPID.

*COUGH*corolla wrx *COUGH* *COUGH*

The Impreza *hatch* has grown on me.. A LITTLE..and only in STi form anyway.

Otherwise Subaru is dead to me now. I mean.. look at the new Legacy. JUST LOOK AT IT. It's a goddamn AVALON.

[Mr1der]

Hell no. Everyone knows the bugeye is the best. f***.

what he said.

damn shame we didn't get an STi bugeye

[krimsonviper]

I liked all the styles of the WRX. Some more than others. You guys need to get with the times y0!

[dasoupdude]

Uh. I like all of them.

[Zydeco]

Uh. I like all of them.

get one, STi can be found for 18K or less now.

[dasoupdude]

MOF, almost got an 05 one instead of the Z. it was 13k had about 85k miles. It had too much crap done to it though, so that was no fun.

I'd really like a gc8 coupe, i've seen a clean white unmolested RS driving around my area by some old dude. I hope he sells it.

Yeah...I was PISSED when I saw the new Legacy. For a few years there I was really becoming a Subie fan. I liked the last-gen Legacy a LOT (I'd love a 3.0R). The new one is layer upon layer of horrible.I also really don't like that they've shifted the wagon to look more like a crossover than a regular wagon. Outback models have always had high ground clearance, but the new wagon has more in common with a Pilot than a Magnum where proportions are concerned.Oh, and WTF is with naming the wagon Outback and the sedan Legacy now? WTF do companies have to screw around with established naming convention?

[Beancooker]

I am not a fan of the widebody sedan. It doesn't look right. I liked the original 07 and before fender flare, but 08 and up I don't care for.

I have a pic of a badass widebody 09, but I can't find it online. A friend linked it to me on Facebook, but I am denied access to Facebook at work. I'll post up the pic later tonight.

*COUGH*corolla wrx *COUGH* *COUGH*

Ugly or not, it's a damn fast and easily tunable Corolla.

[dasoupdude]

Oh yeah, wings back..

[Mr1der]

maybe they realized the hatch sucks?

and bugeyes are win?

OMG. SRSLY. The new wagons are HORRIBLE. I think they're even worse than the new Legacy sedans. The new Forester is nicer than both...not saying much as that has ballooned as well. Subaru is DEAD TO ME. All cars are just getting heavier, softer and uglier. I miss the lighter Subies of yore...i.e. pre-2008

Sidenote: My co-worker just bought a 09' Legacy sedan (the last of the good body style) in some kind of minty-silver color. It's gorgeous. She loves it (sold her daughter her 99 Passat).

[dasoupdude]

I'd love me some sti with red tails.



or

[skydragoness]

The STi hatch is the only new Subie I like. It's grown on me.

[dasoupdude]

Sedans back

I have to admit from that teaser pic with the cover on, i thought it was the same hatch except with a big wing.
