Default 06 wrx sti = poo

Does anyone else think the new STI looks like pure ass. Everytime I see it it turns my stomach. I thought they did really well with the 04 change so why did they get rid of it so fast. Oh well does this mean the 04's are gonna be somewhat cheaper now lol, I could just hope right.

I'm getting used to the look, still prefer the 03-05 look though.

Its the improvements underneath the body that are good though, like the 2.5L engine and all without a big price increase.

I agree with you about this making MY04/05's cheaper, and its what I am hoping for too as I look to buy one.

Well, it's ugly, but at least it gives you more grunt on the WRX model this year. (and that we canadians don't get the prettier EVO, so there isn't really much of a choice)

I LOVE IT!!!!
im especially happy about the wider wheels for more responsive handling, and the aero refinements (the grill allows more air velocity entering the scoop with less drag penalty) the udnerside is very functional; but looks cheap, the goofy rear window diflector increases air flow to the rear wing, the front brakes are air ducted... less drag, more D/F... who can complain???

i look forward to a close competition in next years WRC between Sebastian Loeb, Petter Solberg, and Marcus Granholm... definately an amazing group of drivers who might not be as good w/out a co-driver

that said, once im doing better monitarily... i have a feeling the 06 STi will be my daily driver for anything but nice conditions

It should handle well and it doesn't look as bad as some previous version, so it could be worse. I personnally like it quite muche

It isn't the most beautiful car in the world, but I love it. Just like all other rallycars for everyday use.

Looks alright to me. Yeah... could be better but can't have it your way always. It looks much better from the side view with the new headlights. just a shame Subaru's corporate design direction is changing for the worse.

Headlights looks good, the rear end looks good, the improvements under the skin sounds good, it is just that stupid shield grill. Same w/ the Tribeca, it looks ugly. They could've done a better job to honor Fuji Heavy Industries.
