Not the old M1, the new 1 Series that is coming to the US, the 128i and 135i.

well, that makes just a tad more sence

Really see what you mean when you look at the doors. So they pulled the best from each of the bims...

The more I look at it, the more I think it looks like that lexus hatch... something to do with the stance, lower head lamps, and the tail lights... which brings me back to my conspiracy theory of subaru one day having interchangeable parts with toyotas.... dun-dun-duuunnnn

I really am starting to like it, id just change out the grill with a badgless&wingless with a subtle STi in the corner maybe and be happy

i wonder if the 5-spoke wheels will make it to the US? those are nice.

i've never been a fan of billion-spoke wheels, both for looks and cleaning them.

Not sure if they'll make it here, but they're the standard wheels on the base '08 STi. Look a lot like the factory 5-spokes on the RX-8...

its what eventually made me buy the LGT over the STI (creeping stop-n-go traffic on commute, wife refuses to drive stick..... and me scared about clutch abuse even if she would! ).

the EVO X will have it.

I sit in traffic everyday with my 2.5i...I would never go back to auto's.

I wouldn't worry about clutch abuse...the car is under warranty anyway.

Cleaning many-spoked wheels is not a fun experience.

kthxbye.

old designs are not new... The ricer boy fan club would never have an old design

The wide fenders at the tail lights...WHO THE **** DECIDED THAT WAS AN ACCEPTABLE WIDEBODY FROM THE FACTORY!?!?


Who on earth decided that stripes and polka dots look good together? Why not make the stripey part also riddled with red LED's, or even do a red ring around the turn signal and reverse lights?



Could they make the back seat any more bland? Seridouly, put a little recess where the people are going to sit, add some curves,put a hole in the headrest,add some support..SOMETHING!! They have the rest of the interor NAILED, but seemed to forget that people BUY 4 door cars so they can carry more than one passenger.



Why does this remind me of a fat headed cross eyed duck? Whoever decided that car would look sleek and / or fast if the fenders extent 4 inches out from the headlights...Brilliant! Now the front of your car looks like it's half uncircumcised. Also, who decided to put such obnoxious, anti-aftermarket-fixable curves on the headlights and grill, but leave the bottom part as square as that kid eugene from the A/V club?
