the black one doesn't look terrible but overall, I say: no me gusta.

i think it might be the rims. there are a couple pics with different rims that make it look significantly better. I think maybe it will have to grow on me over time.

Overall: definately less aggressive looking

I'll reserve judgement until I've seen it in person. The WRX, while I'm still not crazy about it, was far more uh, handsome I guess, in person. Nothing very aggressive going on here, other than what lurks beneath.

I'd say they could keep a lot of current Subaru fans in the fold with more squared fender flares, big pissed recessed foglamps and some actual taillights, not the "2f4st22Furious-TokyoDorifo-yo-I-can't-believe-Tyrese-and-that-whiney-white-*****-jumped-a-car-into-the-boat" tails that we'll be getting. Ditch the satnav bull**** and add some lightness.

I was psyched to hear that Subaru would be releasing a hatch for 2008... and was properly dismayed when I parked my gigantor Forester next to one, only to find that it's several inches SHORTER than a new WRX hatch. Gay.

Forester L/Impreza L/Impreza TS/Impreza RS for life, I guess.

The only problem I have with it is the front emblem/grille treatment and the clear tail lights. Both of which can be fixed... one thing I was truly disappointed to hear was it had gone a little soft and testers say its not the race car it once was; too bad.

But I think if you debadge the front end and get rid of the wing thing holding the badge it would look way better from the front.

I take back my last comment... it needs a whole mot more than some debadgeing. But for some reason I still think it has potential.

I really like it from the front. The rear sucks.

I love it. If I could drop 35k for it I would be first in line.

The 08 STI is the most agressive looking car produced by Subaru So Far! If you don't think so you must be *****Ed uP. As soon as I start my new job I'm puttin every paycheck in the bank so I will have that machine!

ummm it's a matter of opinion. Disagreeing on how aggressive it looks doesn't quite mean you're ****ed up, sorry.

You don’t have to be ****ed up to notice that the clear tail-light treatment is lame

the interior is awesome though

the interior is nice... but that's probably at the bottom of my list as far as priorities go.

1. Performance
2. Exterior
3. Interior
4. Boobies

Interior is more important to you than boobies? Hell, I'd drive anything that consisted of molten lava, razor blades, and pirahnas... as long as there was boobies in there somewhere.:)
