2012 Subaru WRX STI Rendering: Who's Ugly Now EVO?

Quote:

There are a lot of rumors surrounding the next Subaru Impreza WRX STI, with some reports suggesting it will go diesel, while others point to a hybrid version. And while we don’t yet know what the decided powerplant will be, we can guarantee it will include AWD, go like stink and look awesome!

OK, so we don’t know that last one either, but thanks to the creative genius of artist Jon Sibal we can share a creative peak at what the next STI might look like.

Based on the Impreza Design Concept unveiled at the LA Auto Show, the STI model gets the requisite fender flares, top-mount intercooler and, of course, a massive wing on the back. The concept car has actually received a significant level of criticism from the Subaru faithful, although it’s easy to see how the handsome compact car shape works perfectly in a more aggressive form.

While Subarus have never been the most attractive cars on the road and the STI has always paled in comparison to its Mitsubishi rival, if Subie’s designers follow this path it might be the first time the EVO comes up short on the looks department.

We know it'll sound like a monster. But now it looks aggressive :thumbsup:

AzNightmare 12-21-2010 04:32 PM

It's a drawing by some guy who's not even affiliated with Subaru. It might as well be a blank white jpeg.

That's actually quite pretty, but it'll never look like that IRL. For starters, the rear passenger glass is one piece again which won't pass more strict safety standards. It looks somewhat like a Hotwheel which I'm actually quite digging.

The next Evolution might be hybrid diesels as well. I think it's safe to say it's the end of the gas powered only era.

Oh my... Some massively overpowered diesel powerplant would give me such a boner.

Qmx323 12-21-2010 09:09 PM

2011 can't go by fast enough....

TRDood 12-21-2010 10:06 PM

why does subaru change their STi styling every year?

toyota86 12-21-2010 10:19 PM

bring back the 2 door. imo 22b looks better than everything that came after it.

Off topic, but there is a new 2011 Impreza WRX tS sedan with a CF roof.. I think it looks rather hot (having disliked the sedan since its intro)

not gonna lie, i like the sedan more than the hatch. All it really needs is more low and bigger exhaust too fill in the little gap and its good to go.

They really should make the wing an option. It looks so much cleaner without the wing.

People just do what they've been doing since 04, trunk swap with the RS's.

But too bad, Subaru has a tendency to produce cars that look different than their concept counterparts.
