The wing is back! Love it or hate it, the STI just wasn't the same without one. And like its predecessors, it's also functional. Other improvements include stiffer bushings, stiffer springs, lighter wheels and thicker anti-roll bars. The sedan is also slightly lighter than the hatch so performance numbers might be a tad quicker even though power is unchanged (305hp, 290 lb-ft of torque).

This color does look good on the car, I would kill to see a royal blue on a Rolls though. (RR would probably steal the paint color and just make it a little darker.

When I lived in Manhattan, I used to see Rolls and Bentleys every day. They were like Toyotas, one on every block. I’m not even exaggerating. Used to see a bunch of Ferraris and Lambos also in the summer.

I’m sure you guys are going to hate me for this comment but I can’t stand the new body style of the STI, really the Impreza in general. In my eyes the previous generation is much better looking and so in the current EVO. I’ve always loved the WRX but the current design just doesn’t stir my emotions as others have, 2007 has been my favorite year, especially the ESX tuned by Easy Street Performance.

I’m not a big fan of the current generation Impreza either. That’s why I went with a 2006 when I bought one this year. Less money for a better looking design IMO. Though the interior on the new ones is way ahead of the previous generations.

They actually don’t have an evo hatch; it’s just a Lancer Sportback. Mitsubishi doesn’t make anything comparable to the STI 5-door; all of the Evo’s are sedans. Chris, good choice withe 2006, I definitely like the style of that one better but I agree, the interiors on the newer models are nicer. I think that is the trend in general with most cars, sometimes the exterior styling missed the mark but interior design usually improves.
