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.

[Sgt_Koopa]

^ Looks about right.

[AVS_Racing]

the wing looks so odd on a hatch

[AzNightmare]

Looks the same...

What intrigues me is how did they make the car slightly more visible than before now.
If you look at the fold lines, they are exactly the same, meaning that's the same cloth as the original picture.

[TOS'd]

^ its just a naisoc member's guess at what its going to look like.

holy crap that focus is hot

[rawr]

holy crap that focus is hot

indeed.. but will it be too much power for the front wheels?

[The_AK]

indeed.. but will it be too much power for the front wheels?

probably, too bad they didnt make an awd model specifically for the RS, then it really would be worth checking out i think.

I wonder if they're going to have it at the auto show

[hk20000]

^ more of a problem is that they are making a Focus RS500 that's STILL FWD with power matching that of a Ferrari

some people have their head up their asses.

[tofu1413]

[Mancini]

It better be a hatch.

[jpark]

Hey guys,

Check this picture!!! 2011 WRX STI sedan & the Hatch

http://www.blogcdn.com/www.autoblog.com/media/2010/04/11wrxstiny2011press.jpg

I don't like the styling though, but hey new colour :D

[TOS'd]

ohh looks nice, so far. I want to see the back though =/

[boss604]

not bad, kind of odd looking

[TypeRNammer]

Yuck, previous gen Sedan STi please!

Uhm....GC's...

Too bad North America got shafted really bad by only offering the 2.5RS model as top of the line:(

[tofu1413]

^ i know eh =/


all the great stuff overseas.. at least they experimented with the GD wrx and it proved to be a success.

Old school GC8's are so cool in many ways........ that i cant quite describe. it truly looks like an urban street fighter

[cococly]

Hey Guys,

This is the actual 2011 WRX STI sedan.

I set my alarm clock at 8, so that I could view the new 2011 STI.

Same Engine output of 305hp, with "intensive" suspension tunings.

This is the 2011 STI Hatchback:

[RacePace]

Do not want

[RE-Jo]

it still looks so tamed compare to the previous models...

[twitchyzero]

looks so korean
not aggressive enough

[TOS'd]

It's nice. I still prefer the hatch > sedan though, just suites my life style better.

[dL]

The sedans looking better, and I like how the STi wing and hood scoop isn't overly out of proportion like the last gen. However, I still think the tailight is hideous on both models. Well, at least the hatch have that red overlay mod that makes it look acceptable.

dL

[shenmecar]

evo still wins the aggressive-look contest.

[ate.ge]

the 2007 sti looks even more aggresive than the 2011sti lol..

[Great68]

Mmmmmeh.

[optiblue]

I dunno... why would they get rid of the LED tail lights? I hate the front and the back!!

[The_AK]

I'm not sure what you guys are smoking :p I think the STI sedan looks sexy, much nicer than the hatchback (and the hatch has grown on me)
Posted via RS Mobile (http://www.revscene.net/forums/announcement.php?a=228)

[rawr]

meh, I was disappointed. the 07 sti looked muuuch better

[cressydrift]

Is that the Legacy Sti, because it looks like a Legacy to me.

















I know its an Impreza

[TypeRNammer]

About time they refreshed the rims, the 5 spoke was a really dull design!

[iamaudi]

i LOLed!

Me toooooo!!!!!

Does anyone get reminded of a BMW M3/335 Comp Package when they look at that quad-tip exhaust setup on that bumper?

Yes, the STI sedan's rear does look slightly like this.

http://www.autoinfection.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/2009-BMW-M3-Sedan-3.jpg

[triplexcel]

i'd take the m3 over the sti sedan. but the hatch is a different story :)

[TRD Rs200]

06-07 > 08+

[Purely]

I still like the 04/05

[124Y]

Maybe it'll grow on me like the hatch.

[SpuGen]

If they only made the Sedan into a Coupe.
:(

[LemonT]

If they only made the Sedan into a Coupe.

Time to wait for the FT-86/086A Toyobaru Sti variant

[exhil]

not feeling the new gen of sti...
*sighhhh
id still get the 05 and 07 model

[umpadupa]

sry.. but im still hands down for the 04-05 sti...

[monkeywrench]

Time to wait for the FT-86/086A Toyobaru Sti variant

apparently the subaru version wont sport AWD for their variant of the FT-86 due to costs lol

either way I wonder when Subaru will throw in their cards for their version of this FT-86

[hchang]

meh, I was disappointed. the 07 sti looked muuuch better

Agreed.

[AVS_Racing]

looks very odd like the trunk is too short
