From my posting on FH:

http://www.autoblog.com/2007/09/19/s...i-on-the-road/

Finally, pictures of the new Subaru Impreza STI that have not been generated by a computer. Amateur shots taken on a public road in Japan clearly show the traditional enlarged hood scoop, butcher flared arches and two more exhaust pipes than found on the WRX. Those grey alloys would certainly be a departure from STI norm as well, should they make it to the stand at October's Tokyo Motor Show.

The right-hand-drive car spotted is almost certainly destined for the Japan domestic market and as such should be powered by a 1994cc EJ20 boxer rather than the torquier, but less peaky, 2.5-liter lump that will be fitted to STIs for export.

It is probably just the color of the car that is drowning out the fender bulges but I would prefer more. I'd like to see the car in a different color to actually see the lines. Looks good although I am sure that the 'look at me' crowd (as most current STI owners are) won't like it as much.

btw, those are the same wheels that were shown on the other photos of the white STI with interior shots. The only difference is that these wheels are gunmetal/anthracite.

btw, more pics at the Nurburgring:

The black one at the Ring looks like a Toyota Matrix. Weak.

We've seen more spy shots of the upcoming Subaru Impreza WRX STi than we care to recount, but it looks like the first official image of Subie's road rocket has finally been leaked on the web. While there's been no confirmation from Subaru that this pic is the real deal, it has that official flavor that only press pics seem to have. Unfortunately, this particular pic is dark by nature and obscures many of the elements in which we're interested like the grille and lower front bumper. What we can see is gigantoid hood scoop, mega wide front fenders, and what appears to be a large rear wing out back. The official arrival of the Subaru Impreza WRX STi is imminent, as the debut will take place at the Tokyo Motor Show next month. Suburu will likely release its full batch of official images and specifications before then. Until then, chew on this.

Seems like an aquired taste to me. I don't like the quad exhaust or the tail lights. I agree with whoever said the wing defines the STi. Right now the new EVO is lookin more solid to me too. But things always change, or is that the final product?
