Just imagine without the stickers and roof vents, and voila! the new STI should look pretty close to this! I'm quite positive I can figure a way to get that ginormous rear wing off. http://www.subaru-community.ne...38470

ok, i will agree that the hatch needs some kind of wing or spoiler, but not THAT one. it's way too big and well... just looks wierd.

ooooh... I like it just take the stickers and the roof thingies off Could someone please tell me what purpose the roof scoops serve? I know they're useful on mid or rear engine cars but why are they on the Sti?

that is the true rally car. the roof vents are for allowing air inside the vehicle i believe. don't think they have air conditioning or anything, no radio, etc. but i could be wrong... LOL. the STI is based off the actual rally car and usually, aside from the graphics and roof vents, doubtful the vented hood will make it to main production too, etc, that is pretty much what the actual STI should look like.

This seems to be the way the look is going for most of the rally cars, I kind of miss the older look kind of like the 22B I'm sure there's good reason, but I miss the 2 door.

well, the 22B wasn't really a rally car. it was a 2.2L that put out 300hp (only available in Japan, and was limited to saying that it had 286hp (if memory serves me correct)) it kind of looks like a 2.5RS that came out about 8 years ago (not sure of the year, I didn't do any research before posting this)

found this posted from AVO Turbo World Japan. if this is what the new STI hatch will look like, I'll be looking to pick one up in a little over a year, probably this same color too.
