Someone did a good job shopping that, but it looks good imo

I thought they were going to be separate platforms from the impreza

So a honda civic si mated with a STI? Looks decent and like a modern progression of the car. I'm no interested in the looks, rather the direction in which they take that FA20 under the bonnet. In a perfect world I would use that engine to swap into the fr-s instead of boosting a motor made for N/A. I'm still going with around 340hp out of that...

Not real. This photoshop has been out for over a year now. I do hope that they dont screw up the design on the next model though.

So many cars have continued getting bigger and uglier over the past years

Yes and it's just as fugly now as it was when it first came out.

I hope the new STI looks nothing like the current Impreza because that is one of the most hideous cars on the road.

You mean this isn't new? Are you trying to tell me that this is a bad Motor Trend chop of a plain jane Impreza from May of 2011? But LeeMaster said it's the 2015 Subaru WRX STi. He wouldn't post something that was old.

I don't think the pic looks much different from the current model. Maybe the headlights, but everything else seems pretty similar. Personally, i like the older "Hawk-eye" imprezas more than the new ones, but it isn't bad.

It is a photoshopped stock impreza. They added a hoodscoop and wing, painted the car blue and stock wheels gold, added sti badges and called it a day.

You can even see the base impreza interior. It'll be a while before we see a new wrx/sti. Probably wont see any official pics til towards the end of the year.

Keep in mind they also said that they were bot going to be based off the base impreza anymore....which means they wont look like the base impreza with a bit of flare. It will be a new chassis and new body.
