I searched and didn't see this posted yet... my new issue of Autoweek came in the mail and there was a photo of the next STI. Online version here:

WTF, did they actually manage to make the wing bigger?

 

That's not really the new STI...

 

lol it looks weird.. theres no... angles.. its like one giant curve liek the hood connects directly to the bumper and the Roof....

 

this looks weird. doesn't feel like an STI anymore. like all the ones before are not so curvy. look at this one, the side view looks like an IS350

 

Looks like a Scion Tc, Mazda 3, and a STi had a group orgy and this was the result. Not saying its completly bad but I can see the design ques. Would be interesting if Subaru went this route instead of the boxy feel they currently have. Just ditch the HUGE wing on the back.

 

i kind of like it but yeah that wind actully looks taller then the car, although it suspeciously looks like a photoshop?

 

What is it then? o_0


I'd hope they give the STi a sleaker look. Damn, if they just made the STi as remotely good-looking as the RX-8, I'd want one even more. Still wouldn't be able to pay for insurance at this age though...

 

Looks more like an STI crossed with a Legacy GT.

 

It's a photoshop/computer generated image of what someone thinks the new STI is going to look like.

 

Actually it's just what they(a magazine) think it's gonna look like since there were rumors of the new imprezas being hatchbacks. The magazine only did it because they were featuring the X concept/ EVO X

 

'kay. Yay for misleading OPs -_-

 

no it fits sti if you ask me... shity style still included with your purchase.... and a whale tail... man i i was gonna miss that... close call.

 

I just realized that I mistakenly linked to the photo instead of the Autoweek article:

We've all seen and read about the next EVO, but here's what's written about the STI:

The photo in the mag looks better than the one on the website (due I assume to the high compression in the JPG). It seems plausible to me that the current concept could look like this... it's more believable than any of the other older renderings I've seen. But I won't be surprised if the production car looks different either.

 

Also, the scoop wouldn't be functional with this setup, yes?

 

its a hatchback!

 

You ain't rice unless you got a whale of a tail!

 

Rumor does have it that the all new STI coming out next year will be available in hatch or sedan form. It's all speculation though , and that photo means nothing. It's simply not accurate, and we don't know what it's going to look like.

 

The hatch part is pretty firm. We have a very vague idea of what it's going to look like from the spyshots.

Forgot to mention earlier. That "photo" is just a photoshop of Autocar's photoshop from a couple months ago.

 

lol i just realized they put a fmic in the picture instead of the usual tmic

 

I do think the EVO is looking better with each generation.

 

I disagree with the idea that the STi should look more sleek and smooth. The STi is a beast and IMO should look the part. Of course it shouldn't be the plain ugly kind of beastly, but an aggressive, well-laid out beast with bulges and edges in the right places. I actually liked the last gen STi look the best out of all the other generations so far -- the in-your-face headlights and distinctive taillights gave it a menacing presence. I hate the way Subaru is "sleeking out" the headlights and overall body shape, and if people keep complaining about the STi being "ugly" and that it should "look better" I believe Subaru will misinterpret "look better" as being more sleek instead of being a more beautiful beast, as I see the trend going now.

 

It looks like a Yaris Crossover STi

Oh yea, Toyota owns large parts of Fuji Heavy Industrial shares ....

Seriously, first glance I thought I saw a Yaris with STi Spoiler, but oh wait, Its not.

 

 

If it was the air intake for the engine and the car making 200 mph an hour it would.
