leaked pics of 2008 wrx, what a letdown Options

[celicaST]

anybody into cars knows that subaru is releasing a redesigned wrx for 2008. visting subarus website shows a countdown for the likely unveiling in several days at the new york auto show. rumors have abound for months of a hatchback wrx which would look like this




very nice in my opinion, i would definitly buy that.

but what would any hyped secret be without information embargos breaking left and right? i present you the 2008 wrx, courtesy of scans of the may issue of motor trend.





ug is all i have to say. sure it will haul ass, but what is subaru thinking with the design? first the 06-07 grill, now this. ok its not the ugliest thing, but it could have been much better. definitly the worst styling of all the generations in my opinion. hopefully the sti looks like the 2 top images

the first pic with the wing on it is ugly as hell
as for the new car, I'd replace the front grille and look into an aftermarket bumper. other than that, I like the side profile of the hatch.
ultimately though if I wanted a hatchback, it would have to be a 2006 or 2007 BMW hatchback
