ANDYJDMSTI Posted October 24, 2007 Posted October 24, 2007 Well i got to say that having now seen the offending item in the flesh i am still of the opinion that it is....................Crap!! The front end is not too bad but the rest of it is not good at all, very little presence about the car, on my way in i spotted an Evo X in the parking lot and it has some presence about it. To be fair i would say the driving position has improved and the seats hold you more snugly than the old ones but apart from that it is nothing to write home about. Well here you go, i shall let you make up your own minds!! Remember these figures here are for the 2.0 JDM I would say having seen both the silver and Grey cars that if i had to choose it would definately be the Grey one...........more aggresive!! Now for the dream car.............. THE GTR IS A DIFFERENT KETTLE OF FISH ALTOGETHER!!!
thewelsho Posted October 24, 2007 Posted October 24, 2007 Nice pics. Agreed, still looks pretty crap in STi trim, but the WRC model, well, that's pretty tasty looking!
bmwhere? Posted October 24, 2007 Posted October 24, 2007 Nice pics... particularly the WRC Girl... er I mean car! Not sure I like the look with the boot open, but looks much better with the boot shut! Overall, I really like it! Just one big off-topic grudge!!! Why is this posted in Scottish Scoobies? Are the rest of the forum users not privileged enough to see these pics?
thefastone Posted October 24, 2007 Posted October 24, 2007 Em... Andy is one of the scottish scoobies users mate... Very often, I dont think twice about where I'm posting stuff and just post things here... were not the biggest section of the forums for nothing you know!
bmwhere? Posted October 24, 2007 Posted October 24, 2007 Don't have a problem with Scottish scoobies or anything, I just don't come in here because I'm not Scottish! Seems a bit of moderation of the forum to move the topics of wider interest to the community to the general forums would be appreciated by many non-Scottish members! Don't want to discuss this further but lets try and be one community when it counts
frank c Posted October 24, 2007 Posted October 24, 2007 (edited) Nice pics... particularly the WRC Girl... er I mean car!Not sure I like the look with the boot open, but looks much better with the boot shut! Overall, I really like it! Just one big off-topic grudge!!! Why is this posted in Scottish Scoobies? Are the rest of the forum users not privileged enough to see these pics? I thought he HAD put a link in the Genereal section.. I'm getting used to it the more i see it but i still wouldn't buy one. need to see it in the flesh before i decide. And yes.....it still looks like a focus Edited October 24, 2007 by Frank C
micra_wrc Posted October 24, 2007 Posted October 24, 2007 andy you lucky git. Can't believe you managed to get into the Tokyo motorshow. i still like the STi hatchback, the front end looks much better with a bonnet scoop. not too sure about the rear bumper - a bit Ford Focus for me.
thefastone Posted October 24, 2007 Posted October 24, 2007 I still think Leon Cupra. Amongst a few others... Ford Focus Proton Honda civic
ANDYJDMSTI Posted October 24, 2007 Author Posted October 24, 2007 andy you lucky git. Can't believe you managed to get into the Tokyo motorshow. Was good today as it was the press day so there was no crowds or standing in line to get around the cars. Only down side was that i could not really get to talk to many of the stand people as they were busy getting interviewed by all and sundry. Oh yeah............there IS a link in the thread in the gereral section!
ANDYJDMSTI Posted October 24, 2007 Author Posted October 24, 2007 Now for my main reason for being there......................the GTR!!! This stand had the most interest of everyone there, i quietly had my doubts about the look of the car from pictures i had seen but i gotta say that having seen it in the flesh it is stunning and all mild doubts were blown away. Am now having a quandry over what colour to get............silver or gunmetal grey!
frank c Posted October 24, 2007 Posted October 24, 2007 Now your talking my language Andy.. the side on view looks fantastic, especially the roof line. I wasn't quite sure about the curved back end though but like you say... it's far better in the flesh.. Oh aye..........gunmetal for me please
ANDYJDMSTI Posted October 24, 2007 Author Posted October 24, 2007 Lets throw in afew other things i saw today......
micra_wrc Posted October 24, 2007 Posted October 24, 2007 some of the cars look lower and slimmer... i think the designers are accommodating for the shorter female driver where head room isnt a factor
craig_harey Posted October 24, 2007 Posted October 24, 2007 real nice pics andy impreza looks better than photos i have seen before on various sites but that gtr is special .
wilky Posted October 24, 2007 Posted October 24, 2007 The GTR is very pleasant on the eye. Must admit the WRC impreza looks good as well, however the sti is lacking the usual Subaru "In yer face" look.
dipsy Posted October 24, 2007 Posted October 24, 2007 (edited) I like the look of the new Sti each to there own and Who bought there impreza for looks or just the performance?? Edited October 24, 2007 by Dipsy
the blue dragon Posted October 24, 2007 Posted October 24, 2007 Andy that GT-R is looking schweeeet mate. I take it thats yours in the last pics and you get the rest when its paid in full? No? Seriously tho, looks fantastic! cheers Iain
whitenuckleride Posted October 24, 2007 Posted October 24, 2007 the GTR looks a total weapon - i love it the STI - thought it was a grower but going off it again now
jcscoob Posted October 24, 2007 Posted October 24, 2007 Both the "star cars" look totaly stunning !! Nice one Andy
scoobyiain Posted October 24, 2007 Posted October 24, 2007 Love the new subaru, gonna wait and buy yhe diesel version.
imprezapete Posted October 24, 2007 Posted October 24, 2007 Sti and the WRC look crap, cant believe the they went to a hatchback! nutz I tell you! Nutz
st3ph3n Posted October 24, 2007 Posted October 24, 2007 I quite like the new STI. I tell you what though - the SX4 is looking quite tidy in WRC guise. But they'll never sell it with anyting remotely resembling an engine in it.
RA Dunk Posted October 24, 2007 Posted October 24, 2007 hmmm, i dunno wot to make of it TBH, i did start liking it in the other photos i saw of it but im not overly impressed with it in those ones
