Subaru’s WRX STI hyper-hot hatch!
Subaru has launched the long awaited third generation Impreza WRX STI at the Tokyo motor show in Japan.
The legendary WRX performance derivate, which has greatly enhanced the image of Fuji Heavy Industries automobile division, Subaru, since its launch in 1994, is facing its greatest challenge yet.
With a radical departure from sedan configuration to hatchback, legions of loyal Subaru Impreza fans have been waiting to see if the third generation WRX STI would be a worthy recipient of the WRX STI moniker or not.
Engine: 2.5-litre, flat-four, turbocharged
Power: 223kW @ 6000r/min
Torque: 406Nm @ 4000r/min
Transmission: Six-speed manual
0-100 km/h: 4.5 seconds
If you ask me.. THAT’S HOT!!!!

front looks like a mazda, back looks like a daihwoo (spelling?) and the rest looks like cheap brakpan/benoni/springs body kits…
NONONO where’s the class?
*stares at pics of hot merc*

You crazy, the only thing I don’t dig is the back of the car, but did you check the engine! Not only that, it comes on fly 18s too!
Come now, looks are one thing, that engine is another!

lol ok … maybe I’m just “shallow” when it comes to looks with cars hahaha.
I like slylish cars, not “omg check my wheels bru, let’s race” cars…
Nick would love that car though, it would suit him haha, I would rather go for a chrysler 300C, or a mercedes C class, or another smart :P

I have uploaded a better picture now, which shows that the car is pretty darn stylish!
Ye, Merc’s are stylish, I totally agree and it has a good way of giving you class and status, but this Scooby – well, I’d not say no!

That car is a beast of note – nice pic.
But I think I would take the C230 Kompressor Coupe over that, Subarus have never been that great looking.

ok thats hot, but still not my style..
Like angelina jolie is hot, but I’m not into chicks, – that subar is hot, but I’m not into “those” type of cars, if u get what I’m saying. LOL

Yay mike agrees!!!
*loves mercedes*

Ye, thanks for finding the article Mike! Power and engine wise, I really dig the car, look is alright, but personally I think the ‘new’ Civic is nicer..
Oct 25th, 2007 at 2:25 pm
Well put David, haha, I would drive around in a Merc with Angelina all day long!
Oct 25th, 2007 at 2:25 pm
Yep.. i think to be fair ill take both the subaru and the c230
That suits me fine

Interesting…
I’d ride around in a merc with Angelina all day long too…. ;)
I’m more of a topdown kind of girl. So unless it comes in convertibles…
Looks shiny though. And that’s always a bonus.

@Ruark – ye bud, seriously nice car, looks are cool, but the engine is out of this world!
@Kristi – Convertible of that car would look pretty damn good! New shiny toy would be fun :)

I don’t care what other says. I like how the car looks. I like the performance. I like the interior. It’s the best WRX STI ever. It has more room now too. I always prefer STI over EVO. Any of them. I love the boxer engine. I believe in the 6 stars. I love the pride of that Subaru color (blue). They make the right stuff. I love it. Airbags save lives, symmetrical All Wheel Drive save airbags. Done!

Ah ye, I think it’s a pretty wicked car too, although, what do you think of this one:
