Jumps, flips, spin-outs, crashes, and power slides galore all ending with the new STI ripping the tarmac a new one.

Sweetness

Thats a sixk ad, its definitely something that would pull people into the showrooms.

it'd be awesome if it didn't have such a fugly car in it.

seriously im wiht tex on this one they totally killed the look of the STi, wtf were they thinking?? i can understand they sell alot in europe which is a hatch based economy, but wtf is that thing? The tailights look like cheap as ebay lights, the overall lines just make me wanna puke, and the front end reminds me of a old saab....sorry but i think mitsu. should be thanking subaru on this one...

What a cool comercial, those cars are sure tough and fast.

I'm with you guys 100% on the new Subaru wrx style. To me it does not have that tough fast look as it needs, it could easily pass as a Kia or Hyndai. They totally blew it this time. Hopefully they update it soon with something better.

Oh yes, you have to have McRae's X-Games rollover in that commercial. Pastrana's face was priceless after that stunt where he kept driving with half bumper hanging off.

I guess Toyota's design team got their hands on Subaru's designs, because all they are coming up with just makes me yawn.

These are what I think of when I hear STi

^??wtf it was designed as a hatch because, its better for aerodynamic effiecency, and if you have ever driven a performance hatch, you would know that it handles alot better, but the main engineer has been with subaru the whole time, toyota had nothing to do with the design, peter solberg head driver for team subaru even stated alot of the reason the new sti looks that way is because of him.....

shift, i think you got that mixed up, pretty sure Pastrana was the one that rolled the car...

and 76_280Z. the new WRX couldn't pass as a Hyundai anymore, it's way too ugly... wow, i gotta get used to saying that...

I saw it live on TV, look anywhere and you'll see that McRae only lost to Pastrana by having rolled over the car, and even with that the difference by which McRae lost was minimal.

i watched it live too, for some reason i remember pastrana rolling the car and still winning. guess i'm the one that got it mixed up.

As far as I'm concered, the 2004-2007 styles of WRX have been the best.
