Who will it be

[scientist]

Too soon to say...magazines are still speculating. Subaru has basically released nothing in relation to the New STi

[SF5]

the new sti hot, friend of mine contemplating trading in his dodge ram hemi for an sti

[Cly-dee]

i doh like it. why they had to make it a hatch back stupessssss. that alone that killin it for me.

[Evo-Man]

Not sure, lets hope it the Red beautiful car.

PS, purchase based on the year you can afford, then compare the two models.

[EVO2ENVY]

That's funny. I was just reading that magazine today. Got me thinkin bout a few tings.

[SF5]

The new evo is paddle shift,

[Preppy]

What I read is that the market demand for 4-door sedans is shrinking in Europe, so Subaru is goin with the hatch trend. I thought it would suck too, but I dont find it looks that bad at all. They also switching the badboy and good boy roles...the sti was always the wild looking one and the evo had more subtle appeal. Now subaru want to tone down the sti, and the evo lookin anything but subtle

And the sti more expensive now! madness
