PGT Posted September 14, 2007 Share Posted September 14, 2007 the seats in my '91 CRX were more comfortable for long trips. the seats shown in that mag are optional for the STI...have been for awhile, nothing new there and certainly not stock for even a JDM car (much less the one we see) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tallguylehigh Posted September 14, 2007 Author Share Posted September 14, 2007 Ok, now who knows, Best Car just released ANOTHER rendering showing a different front, wheels, flares, hoodscoop, grill- ok pretty much everything. http://www.blogsmithmedia.com/www.autoblog.com/media/2007/09/triplescoop.jpg My comments: Comparing it to the Best Car rendering, here is what I prefer: Wheels-> Best Car Grill-> This one Front-> Push Flares-> Best Car Hoodscoop-> Best Car- unless the additional scoops provide some benefit. http://www.autoblog.com/2007/09/14/one-scoop-or-three-subaru-impreza-sti-may-get-scooplets/1#c7524635 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

apexjapan Posted September 14, 2007 Share Posted September 14, 2007 Paul- maybe you could help me out with a question that I have had about the new EVO and STi. My question is this- the last iteration of the EVO and STi made 276 and 300hp, respectively in the US market. For the EVO X and STi hatch, I was expecting hp numbers in the 320-330 range, but it looks as though the horsepower numbers are pretty much unchanged. Are these cars still working under the gentleman's agreement in Japan which is keeping the horsepower numbers roughly the same, or are Mitsu and Suby focusing more on engine dynamics than bottom line numbers? Japan's a funny place. Even though the unofficial official hp limit has been broken, the manufacturers are reluctant to go above it still. There's also a whole line of marketing for cars in Japan that focuses on the 280ps mark to define sports cars and sedans. People are just comfortable with the figure. Also, I think the current gas prices and somewhat "green" mentality is making Japanese manufacturers, as a group, keep from getting into a HP war on their home turf. And finally, when it comes to Japan, handling and brakes are considered far more important than power. I see it on the aftermarket sales side - suspension and brake parts sell more than (actual) power parts in Japan, while it's the other way around in America.

rxnana Posted September 15, 2007 Share Posted September 15, 2007 I was about to post the same pictures as tallguy's, but he got there first. I also came across a lot of interesting looking pictures on bestmotoring.cn. I can't endorse the validity of the pictures, but they share make the impreaza a lot better looking. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v113/Kclipse/Kclipse2/subaruimprezasti_1.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v113/Kclipse/Kclipse2/subaruimprezasti_2.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v113/Kclipse/Kclipse2/wrx-sti_4dr1.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v113/Kclipse/Kclipse2/wrx-sti_4dr2.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v113/Kclipse/Kclipse2/wrx-sti_4dr3.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v113/Kclipse/Kclipse2/wrx-sti_x_b2.jpg I guess we will find out when it rolls out in the near future.

zildjiank Posted September 15, 2007 Share Posted September 15, 2007 I'm actually kinda glad they came out with the uglier looking cars (my opinion of the two new redesigns...) Cause it makes the Leggy look better! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dan_m Posted September 16, 2007 Share Posted September 16, 2007 new sti still doesn't look right imo, you start with a fugly car shape and try to improve it with little details here and there.. total patch up job Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wukindada Posted September 16, 2007 Share Posted September 16, 2007 Well I truly hope that rear defuser is color matching bc this one looks like ass... http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v113/Kclipse/Kclipse2/subaruimprezasti_2.jpg & whoever designed those tail lamps needs to be slapped!! But the overall design is really starting to grow on me. Not in stock form of coarse but once modded.....:) Not to mention many of the parts could be re-used on the wagon & re-using my parts would make for a very cheap 450+whp hatch:) We will just have to see though about ins. a STI:(:( Toyota 6EATS .........SUCK!!!!!!

red beast Posted September 17, 2007 Share Posted September 17, 2007 shouldn't that rear diffuser be UNDER the car?

wukindada Posted September 17, 2007 Share Posted September 17, 2007 I'd say...... I have always considered rear diffusers on street cars a joke anyway. But if they are matching color @ least they are not as noticeable Toyota 6EATS .........SUCK!!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PGT Posted September 17, 2007 Share Posted September 17, 2007 we swung by the Jeep/Subaru dealer today.....wife hated the new WRX....said it was ugly with no prompting (and she owned a yellow '03 Bugeye wagon). She did however like the new Tribeca....we'll see about a test drive soon....the FX is nice, but heavy and a bit tight on space in the back.

sactojesse Posted September 20, 2007 Share Posted September 20, 2007 That last shot looked pretty nice. If my LGT wagon ever got destroyed, I'd consider replacing it w/ an STi 5-door. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
