2012 Sti
Has anyone seen this? Even though it's just a rendering but the 2012 WRX already looks very close to it. If it really looks this good, I might have to say good bye to my 350, lol

I would hit it and I think a lot of other people would too. However, I try and not get excited about these drawings anymore because the product delievered by Subaru never looks like them. I really don't care for the looks of any of the Subarus today. Can't wait to pick up an '08/'09 Legacy GT.

I know many people don't like the look of the STIs but I love them. I have driven and EVO9 and 10 and only the last gen STI. These newer ones are supposed to be a bit softer and mature

It amazes me how Subaru has taken over Mitsubishi. In the 90's it was all about DSM - the Galant VR4, Turbo Eclipse, 3000GT - Subaru wasn't even on the map. Now, Subaru seems to be getting bigger and hold its place in a ninch market....while Mitsubishi seems to dig itself into a deeper holes. There's even rumors that the next Evo will be base on a Colt platform as Mitsu will only be making B-segment car and some SUV....

true, but 2012 Impreza already looks very close to the drawing (see below). I hope that Subaru get the designs in the right direction this time.

Also up until several updates to WRX, recently everyone seemed to like Evo better.

It sort of looks like a four-door 2012 Scion tC to me. The front bumper, flared out rear, and a little bit of the headlights all look similar. Personally, I prefer the STi before the redesign, but this one, albeit a drawing, looks to be possibly the end result when it's finally produced.

... but comparing Impreza pre and post redesign, this new one is considerably better looking vehicle, both inside and out!

It looks nice however the front to me looks very ideal to the new KIA Optima, always been a huge fan of Subaru's was my 2nd choice to my IS2x which won due to all the nice features this beast of Subaru didnt have.

those were very unconfirmed news... Platform that EVO is becoming main platform for them so makes no sense at all.
