2011 STI



http://www.autoblog.com/2010/03/29/the-wing-returns-subaru-teases-impreza-wrx-sti-sedan-ahead-of-n/

The day after mashing around an ice course in Park City, Utah, we sat down with one of Subaru's product planners to discuss what the automaker has in store in the near-term. Our questions ranged from Subaru's thoughts about adopting torque-vectoring all-wheel drive ("We're looking into it.") to what, if any progress was being made on the Toyobaru front ("No comment").

But when asked about a four-door version of the STI, our question was met with a slightly cocked head, a small smirk and a faint glimmer in the exec's eye. Could a sedan be in the cards?

Maybe. But judging by this solitary teaser of the 2011 Subaru Impreza WRX STI, it appears that the rally-bred hatch is getting an all-new wing inspired by Subaru's dearly-departed WRC contender. We'll know for sure on Thursday when the wraps officially come off at the New York Auto Show.
I can't wait to see it unveiled.

They introduced 2011 WRX sedan today, so Sti will probably be very similar.

Going back to the previous-gen style. I like it better than the hatchback.

The exhaust and rear bumper remind me of a BMW.

Kinda of a stylistic mess, they just seem to throw everything at it in that they can't distinguish a lot of styling from good styling. A shame because if Subaru could only make some good looking cars, they would really be something.
