Oh I dunno, I get compliments, lots of turned heads, and ladies smiling, the other day at the car wash the Crysler 300 owner in the bay next to mine almost creamed himself telling me how hot my car was. I've met several new women at the office because they've come up out of the blue complimenting my car (one referring to it as "gorgeous" and another as a "lady killer").
Not bad for an ugly car. |

I do agree new Sti is ugly though. So is the new Evo.

I think they look awful stock, but once they've been lowered just a touch and had decent wheels put on them I think they look a lot better. I still think the previous generation was a better looking car though.

Also, women complimenting you on your car a lot means you have a chick's car. Quote:
04-05 was great. Still one of my favorite versions of the STi 06-07 is awful, and I'll never get over their pseudo Alfa Romeo pig nose design. They had to make the hatchback to compete in WRC. The Focus and Xsara/C4 were destroying them. |

Try doing this when you have 3 hours out of a week that are above 25 degrees. I've taken it to the wash and had the beads of water freeze up before I could dry it off. And I'll take strange womens compliments over yours any day. ![]() |

I had an 06. I don't care for the new ones. Something about the 06-07 STIs and EVOs was spot on for what they were. Now they are asking for money that puts the car in different bracket where it cannot compete. They may have nicer interiors but you did not buy these cars for interiors to begin with. Sorry but I agree with the OP.

From your sig it looks like you wash cars for a living. I can (sort of) respect that, and understand why it's important for you to promote the attitude that car washes are deplorable. However, please understand that some of us have more important things to concern ourselves with than water spots on our back bumper. And no you didn't compliment me, which was exactly the point. |

at first that was my initial response to the new STi's but after seeing one in person its not THAT bad, I mean it does look ugly because its a hatch but they look decent once its modded.
