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.
The look of the latest STi isn't bad on the front, but could use a lot of work on the rest of the body, imo. Just lose the econobox look.

altho the new STi looks like a Yaris X GD8 STi to me. but I think its still good looking
and Im sure this new chassis will be even stronger than the old one, cuz the old one is base on some 10 yr old technology. and better engine room, etc.

that front to the evo 10 is ridiculous, i don't think that big of front isnt needed anyway as the crash bar will block half the intake anyway. But its a prototype so they can get away with it.

I think it's cute and mean and the same time personally; this image presented in this thread anyhow.

My bad for not calling it an image or rendering instead of a photo, but I that wasn't the point.
Personally, I think it looks better than the previous or current STI. More importantly, the hatch configuration first announced a couple years back looks like it's happening (though we probably wont get the 2-door version in the USA). I hope they can also get the weight down a bit.
Ike, your internet bravado cracks me up.

If it comes with a higher roof, larger spoilers, wider seats, bigger wheels, 3 sun roofs, 5 cats, 11 airbags, 21 cup holders and 481 electric motors I doubt the new version will be any lighter. How many cars were actually lighter than their predecessor? MR 2?

Outta the 2 the Evo is the better looking car hands down. The STI is in need of a serious nose job, just look at the front end of the current Evo Mean Looking MTF! and the concept is that much better. The big airdam though, like current audi's is about presence. I think it could be fuctional on the Evo, but not so on the base lancers to better differenciate the cars, as I think it would be a 3 car lineup-base, wrx fighter, and Evo.
