Yeah, I guess they're keeping Cobb in business though by not upping the hp.

I like the hatch more as well.

I like the evo over both of these. Subaru really needs to up their aesthetics although it is a nice car under the hood.

Aesthetically I think it's okay, but the EJ255 (EJ257) engine is junk. When I was heavily involved in an STi/Evo/GTR tuning shop I lost count of the number of blown EJ's on '07 up STi's and '09 up WRX's. These engines have very poor quality cast pistons, along with a dangerously lean tune from the factory.

Subaru needs to redesign there engines to burn cleaner, so that they don't have to run ultra-lean to pass emissions.

It looks much better the new sedan for sure. The front bar isn't that great but the headlights have a good shape which means a new after market front bar will be able to make these things look extremly good.
At least they didn't make it worse!

boymonkey · 04-01-2010, 09:19 PM

Ugly front, ugly wing. I'm disappointed.

BMW269 · 04-02-2010, 11:56 AM

I like the 4 door better than 5 door. It looks really good and reminds me the old one. The only thing I don't like are the rear lights, because no LED.

powertrip · 04-02-2010, 01:03 PM

I have to say that I'm not hating it...looks really nice

Wish Honda would get into the compact car game....bring in the Mugen RR

Gotadime · 04-02-2010, 01:10 PM

I don't really like the rear end of that thing...hmm

i like it....any pic on a white color one?

adrian1480 · 04-03-2010, 10:28 PM

looks good.

but what crowd buys Subaru? they're not very big around here.

Nawaaz · 04-04-2010, 12:48 AM

Not bad looking, but I can see a similarity with the Evo X, slightly.

Like some others have already stated, I also prefer the looks of the hatch. I've grown to like the new STI in that style.

smmmurf · 04-04-2010, 12:51 AM

That looks like crap. The back is a total mess. This is coming from someone who owned a 2005 STi a few years back.

Kit523 · 04-04-2010, 03:27 AM
