just drove the 08 STI

one of the subaru reps was at out dealership today and
he had the new 08 STI and were letting the salesmen
take it for a spin. i was in the back and there was
more room than previous models. from the back it felt
prtty good. about 15 min later i got off work and went
back to take pics then the rep cam out and i took the
beautiful baby for a rip. it shifted alot smoother
than other STIs and the ride was not has harsh. the
power felt alittle better and handles pretty good. it
griped the turn i took really well as i got off of the
freeway. i could of pushed it harder but i didnt for
some reason. but anyway we should have them soon. no
date yet. but overall its alot better than the 04-07s.
i have a 05 STI with some mods. i think the 08 STI has
a lot of potential from driving it earlier today. we
will just have to see what happends.

here are some pics i took at out dealership
