When the new 2008 STI came out, we were very excited, but this soon turned into a question about the new bodystyle. Seemed like Subaru tamed the look, and made the car look alot more like a Mazda Speed3.

We decided to go visit a dealership and see what they actually looked like in person. To our surprise, the car does have a better stance when looking at it in real life.

For whatever reason pictures don't do it justice--we still prefer the previous versions, but could see how the new bodystyle could grow on someone.
