I agree, front end is ugly, sti is still pink, tailights are ugly. But then again, its AWD, reliable, and fast.

looks like ***. i think they should send a coupe version of the STi over to the states. mabey a newer version of the STi 22b. i think it would sell better.

I agree if they just change the front grille, the front will be fine. I think the back looks like a 99 corolla though.

they were writing about the new subaru B9 tribeca in the march car and driver and they said that the new front end styling of the tribeca (which is like this sti) "is a reminder of subaru's new aeronautical face, whose air intakes are supposed to suggest a fuselage and wings. (Subaru's parent company, Fuji Heavy Industries, manufactured aircraft in the past)". so i guess they're going to try and integrate it into the rest of the subaru models? which would be gay if you ask me.
