July 4, 2007 by Alborz Fallah  




We are all waiting for it, we are all dying for it, we just wish Subaru would take the covers of already and let us the next generation Subaru Impreza WRX STi. The image below has been the most circulated image of the 2008 STi so far.

A few days ago, Car Magazine photographers caught the STi testing at Germany’s Nurburgring.

From what we can gather, the new STi doesn’t seem to have an exaggerated bonnet scoop and the rear spoiler is not as big as the previous models, although the wheel guards stick out for a more aggressive look.

Power is expected to reach more than 220kWs and the STi gets from 0-100km/hr in under five seconds.

Car Magazine reports the new STi has gone up in price by almost £2,000 pounds, thats roughly an increase of $5,000 AUD over the previous model.

As we reported earlier in the year, Mitsubishi is expected to raise the price of the Lancer Evolution X by at least $7,500 AUD.

    Interesting, looks similar to a BMW 120, oh thank god the wrx is coming out of the stone age, they have gone from looking boring to a bug, then not so bad, to slightly renovated face. This future 2008 shape is not to bad although it looks somewhat similar to a door wedge, i guess at least it doesn’t have a ridiculous spoiler which doubles as a table.
