Default New Unconfirmed Information about the 2008 STI

This post from the administrator on www.iwsti.com
http://www.iwsti.com/forums/showthread.php?t=82374

I cannot guarantee the accuracy of this information, but I do consider the source reliable.

When asked whether the 2008 STI will appeal to current STI enthusiasts, the answer was yes, it would appeal to even those enthusiasts who strongly dislike the 2008 Impreza.

When asked what was going to be different between the WRX and STI, the answer was that the STI was going to be a

Wide Body.

Now that would represent bringing back a legend! Of course, we would have to see it and have to like how it would look on the Impreza frame, but any rumor of a wide body gets my blood flowing.

Consider it a rumor until I can get further confirmation from a different, unrelated source.

interesting! but as posted on iwsti, the 'wide body' could just be fender bulges like recent STi models...
anxious to see the result either way!

Love the responses --> "I dont think fender bulges will be enough to polish the turd to acceptable levels. They are really gonna have to pull something big."

Hmm, I can't wait to see the MY08 STI pics now.

Anyone got an idea of its release date? I've read August and September.

Where did you hear that? I owned one of the Australian delivered ST205 Group A's and that's news to me.
