surefooted Posted July 3, 2007 Report Share Posted July 3, 2007 Ok, camouflaged, but hey, it is a real STI. http://blogs.edmunds.com/.ee9c4d6/cmd.233/enclosure..ee9c4d7 http://blogs.edmunds.com/.ee9c4d9/cmd.233/enclosure..ee9c4da http://blogs.edmunds.com/.ee9c4dc/cmd.233/enclosure..ee9c4dd http://blogs.edmunds.com/.ee9c4df/cmd.233/enclosure..ee9c4e0 http://blogs.edmunds.com/.ee9c4e2/cmd.233/enclosure..ee9c4e3 http://blogs.edmunds.com/.ee9c4e8/cmd.233/embedded..ee9c4eb Here are the first spy photos of the 2009 Subaru WRX STI. Caught lapping at the Nurburgring test track in Germany, this STI prototype reveals some of the subtle changes in store for this top-of-the-line Subaru WRX. Up front, a mesh grille replaces the egg crate design on the standard WRX while the deeper front air dam has ditched its fog lights and been given a larger center air intake. In back, there's a bigger spoiler of course, but the STI also gets a tough looking set of quad tailpipes. Also note the bulging wheel flares that cover up what look like lightweight double spoke wheels. Subaru has been tight lipped about exact horsepower numbers for the STI, but we've been told to expect around 325 horses from its turbocharged flat four when it goes on sale next year. http://blogs.edmunds.com/Straightline/3024 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpaceGhost Posted July 3, 2007 Report Share Posted July 3, 2007 Um I think that is 2008...... unless they are going to skip an STI model for 2008. My car may go for sale. It should be holding it's value. As the new STI for 2 more years is fugly. I need to get an M3 I think. Or maybe a 335XI. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

94Cruzer Posted July 3, 2007 Report Share Posted July 3, 2007 I don't like the grills on those cars, I prefer the 2003 body style the most. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buckeye1647545503 Posted July 3, 2007 Report Share Posted July 3, 2007 So would you pay 30k for that focus? I whould not pay 30 for any car unless it needed fixed and was worth 50+ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turbomark Posted July 3, 2007 Report Share Posted July 3, 2007 I do like it actually, in all black it doesn't look too terrible. I think it looks better than the wrx wagon, and I like it more than the vw gti. If you look at different performance minded hatches in the market it definitely beats them all in performance, the audi a3, vw gti, etc. The bmw 1 series should provide some brisk competition especially in 135 trim.
