The Evo looks better. Of course, these cars were never made too look good, but to drive good, so I'll hold judgment until we see some HEAD TO HEAD BATTLES

Drives better than a Focus though. In fact it looks WAYYYYYYYYYYYY better than the new Focus.

The Impreza looks more like a Mazdaspeed 3.

I disagree. The new Focus is more attractive than the Impreza. Its so dissapointing.

Lubester and SLegacy99 have my votes. Looks like crap, looks worse than a focus...

I see some Camry styling cues in there. Anyone else see it?

I guess I'm in the minority and I like it a lot. As odd as it sounds, I think the Evo X looks too plain and takes too many styling cues from other vehicles and brands. The new WRX also uses some plain styling cues in some areas, but I think the new STi has enough mods and unique cues to make it still look like an STi.

Already in pictures, I can mistake an Evo X for a regular Lancer, and in real life I've mistaken the new Lancer for other cars. In pics, the STi and WRX look more differentiated vs the Lancer and Evo X, and I expect the differentiation to be even larger in real life.

The new WRX should have been a seperate model. Sure the front looks ok, but its still a station wagon.

The 2005 STI is still the top bar for style they have.

Such a shame they turned the only exciting car they have into a grocery store hauler.
