As for the pic, that kinda looks like Impreza GT, instead of STI (GT is between WRX and STI iirc).

I was assuming that pic was the sti. Plus, my post had a bit of smart-assary to it. I knew there were other details. I was being demeaning to subaru.

Sorry fellas, I was there at the show (press days) and the FT-86 isn't there

Tweeted about it yesterday. Make sure to subscribe to our twitter if you use the service.

Toyota didn't even have a press conference, guess their attention is turned to other matters right now. Instead, an Avalon is on the main display stand in Toyota's section of the show.

Yeah, I agree. It looks like an ugly car that someone tried to patch together with oddly matched body kits...

"lets glue some scoops here, and some fender flares here...and..."

I feel sorry for the subaru guys. Apparently, this was a major letdown for them.

If it had 180 NA hp I bet you would Matador....lol

the 300+ hp and AWD does a lot to mask the fugliness of the STi's...

I think it looks better in the hatch but can't stand the ebay taillights

FYI it's not really "Ebay" taillights. It's actually called "Euro" or "Altezza" taillights... but who's counting.

& yes, I'm not fan of those taillights either.
