You may be confusing this model with the STI concept.

Favorite spoiler to date

As the masses have said...that little lip on the trunk is an abomination (translation for Subaru folks possibly reading this thread = it looks like crap) make sure it doesn't make it on the production version

Huh? I think it looks just right... interested to see how it would be if color matched.

That rear lip is hideous. Not sure if I'm a big fan of the black on blue either.

Shinji2787 · 08-25-2012, 07:11 PM

Hmmm.... Pending how realistically soon something like this will be coming out (and if it will actually have a carbon roof) I might seriously be considering halting my current order and waiting...

I'm assuming the sti suspension would fit the current models perfectly though.

Did they mention anything about engine bay tweaks? Or are the only differences primarily the roof, hood, suspension, and wheel size at the moment?

avo should make a poll!

rear lip looks out of place not loving it, neither the black on blue.. the concept was much better especially the signature sti wing

This is why I have no interest in waiting for an STi model, if Subaru does decide to build it. I would much rather purchase STi parts a la carte than get stuck with the parts I don't want. The carbon hood and roof are nice but I think it's safe to say they won't make it to a production version anyway.

And because I'm bored:

So are the sideskirts. In fact all the STI aero is hideous.
