New STi

[TurboRush]

When's the new STi hitting dealers..... ~fab~

[unsakred]

i thought feb? im not 100% though

[Nate8409]

I am excited for it but I doubt I will even go look at it. It is an upgrade iN performance BUTTT looks crappy. I am sure the performance will make me like the outside better though.

[Bu11dogg2]

meh... I'm not impressed either.

[Jon]

I think it's HOTT If i had 40K i'd get one with gold and nav!!! haha, yea right. 40K is way too much for an STi, even with a nav.

[Nate8409]

Now all Subaru needs to do in my eyes is change to a double wishbone in the front and make the WRX more Aerodynamic.

Like M3 CSL aerodnamic.

[LordBass]

Supposed to arrive any time now.. The new model hasn't grown on me. Would much rather have an 06/07.

And I think "nav" is one of the most pointless wastes of money. I'll use a $4 map, thanks. :)

the new model has grown on me, but I think the 06/07 model looks a bajillion times meaner.

[TurboRush]

Gotta see it in person before I completely write it off

[FreakBurrito]

I think it looks amazing I'd drop the 40k in a heartbeat if I had.

You should have gone to the autoshow in Boston ;)

[novacivic]

We are getting two this week in at Tricity where i am a tech

[Murphy2012]

I want one

[RCKSTR]

I think they look better than the 08 wrx~ok~ XXtuning allready purchased one, I'm going to see if they have it this thursday when I go down to ECS.

That's weird, the guy I talked to at the Boston Auto Show said no earlier than February. He was bemoaning the fact that he'll have to go on a lot of test drives in the bitter cold.

[chris07outback]

I was under the assumption that SNE (Subaru of New England) doesnt get them til February. The rest of the country has them because they are SOA not SNE.

[f1vlad]

I like how it looks and I am sure I'll like how it drives. But I think I am not the only one who will say that there are better ways to spend $40,000.

[TurboRush]

Yeah.... after I priced it out I've decided if I am going to spend $40k on a second car it's not going to be on the STi...

[Nate8409]

Yeah hell with that. I'll just go buy a Used M3 and save like 10g's

[FreakBurrito]

The new STi.... Has landed in NH.

I thirdededed this motion. While I dislike the looks thus far some pictures and a look at it in person probably wouldn't hurt.

I'm assuming all the first deliveries are probably sold. That seems to be the word on NESIC.

[chris07outback]

yeh. this is wayyyy better looking in person. it could be one of the nicest looking subies i have ever seen

[unsakred]

[Bu11dogg2]

37k and no dual climate/auto climate or sunroof. :spin:

[chris07outback]

it does have auto climate control, but its a race car not a lexus

[Kevin]

glad I didn't wait for the 08's. my 04 wrx would of been paid off though.
I still like my dented 06 sti better.

[chris07outback]

I think the 08 styling will grow on people, the bumped fender flares are badass

[Robk0000]

yeah im glad my gc will be 1/4 of the price and just as fast in several months


:)

[TrickyDik]

The only thing I like from pictures are the bumped fender flares. The 5 door isn't my thing, never has and the rest of the look is just too Mazda meets Chrystler for me.

Thanks for the pictures.

And hey, a lot of people didn't like the 06/07, including myself, but eventually I really liked it. Enough to buy one at least.

[chris07outback]

exactly and I guarantee by this year next time, people will absolutely love this style and they will love the 5door's but it is quite a sweet car!

[TrickyDik]

I'm sure more people will like it, as for myself I doubt it. I've hated 5 doors long before Subaru decided to make one. They just have no appeal to me. The only thing I could be persuaded to like on the new on is the front facia, not the fact that it's a 5 door.

But to each their own, right.

[merrill0007]

I know Milford subaru was suppose to get their new STI within in the next two weeks (I have a friend who is a salesman there). Ocean subaru AKA AMD subaru doesn't have theirs yet I was thier last thurs. I love my 07 sti i am so happy I didn't wait for the 08's. There is a rumor the 09 will be 320 HP anybody have any intel?

[Murphy2012]

I think the white and black colors are teh sex. IMO. I would love to get my hands on one, but with the price of insurance, and the mods already done to my car I wont be getting one.

[banned4life]

steering wheel is god awful

[mdungelman]

All hail the sexy white on gold!!!!

[LordBass]

I love white over gold. Classic color combo.

But.. This thing isn't worth $37.6k. Not even close. It's six grand too expensive.

[FreakBurrito]

Just saw it. Looks really nice. I honestly think people aren't facing the reality of changing markets. They're too stuck in the past.

[chris07outback]

who did I meet today with the beatiful 06-07 CGM WRX that came to scope out the STI?

[SteelWRX]

^That was me!... and my girlfriend (somethingpink03).

The STI looks much better in person than in pictures!

It was nice meeting you. Hopefully we'll catch up again at one of the SCS Friday night meets.

[chris07outback]

yeh man, wish I wasnt with a customer, couldve spent some more time with you guys.

[somethingpink03]

Oh yeah, that STI is soooo nice! Seeing it in person made the difference.

Chris, your WRX wagon that's for sale at Exeter is nice! I am so glad I got to see a fellow wagon on STI Pinks; it sealed the deal for my upcoming purchase (wheels and springs that is).

[chris07outback]

you like the bronze huh? man those wheels were sweet, so are the springs.
