but i can see why it would take others to like the STI hatch back a little longer.
i never liked the civic hatch back, due ot he front being to short.

I actually believe they made it hatch only to adapt to the new rally wrc rules, which is ironic because subaru just pulled out of wrc due to the ecomony

Because it's not an improvement over the previous one and supposedly it's heavier and softer and not as "raw" to drive, which is the only reason to own a WRX in the first place.
I just don't like the shape of the new one, it looks more like some kind of wannabe crossover to me than a true hatch. I love hatchbacks and I've tried to like the new scubie, but so far it just doesn't work for me, maybe I'll get used to it eventually or something
Either way,
is way better than the hideous wing and awkward shape of this:
just my opinion, I'm sure it's still a great car, just not my cup o' tea.

The wing on the STi in these pics look terrible!
Having said that, I really like the new front of sti and IMO looks much better. The tail lights really throw off the looks. They look much better tinted red or smoked.
There is a blue one running around by me with smoked tail lights, lowered, black wheels, and a tasteful CF front lip. It looks aggressive and clean.

They are Advan Kreutzer Vi's in a custom finish. Pretty standard for MS/M'z concept/show cars to use Advan wheels. The original MS show car had custom gunmetal Connoisseur 51C's, the second (cool blue kit that they never ended up making) had Model 5's and the '09 MS concept had Model T5's.
The Kreutzers are good looking wheels, I love simple 5 spokes. Too bad they don't come in the finish that's on those show cars.

for some reason the new sti just doesnt look like an sti... but i think i will eventually grow into it just like how i did with the previous triple grilled wrx. but i think the sti will look a whole lot better if it has red out tail lights though.
