2008 mazda 3?

Exodus · 08-13-2007, 07:45 AM

isokay.... nothing worth mentioning.

stillriza · 08-13-2007, 07:54 AM

its a clean looking car...much nicer than the outgoing model.

Rosado · 08-13-2007, 05:10 PM

At least the mosel now stands out for a Mazda 3...I rather have the model now than that thing. Mazda 3 is right,,, someone stole the plans for it..

Doesnt look too bad. It gives me a little ford focus SVT impression though, and also mazda 3

fo44rd · 08-18-2007, 10:32 PM

looks like TOYOTA designed it. It will be a dud on the market with the young people.

Rear-End reminds me of the old Gen Honda Civic Hatchback. Front end is a Zoom Zoom.

So we are left with a dilemma, the first official teaser shot of the New Subaru WRX STi turns up on the web (courtesy of our friends over at carscoop, see on the right) on the same day we get the most revealing spy shots from Nurburgring. In true WCF fashion we hold nothing back, so here you are all in one go.

Subaru have taken a great deal of care to keep the STi under wraps as we can see in the photos, the covers were kept on right up until the protype reached their workshop outside of the Nürburgring.

Fortunately soon after the covers were off and we can see an extremely clean STi prototype circling the Nürburgring, revealing all of the new Subaru's hottest design points. Prior prototypes were still heavily taped, and had padding stuffed around the fender flares.

Now we can see the true shape of the STi's bulging fenders, and the large air duct integrated into the side of the front bumper. The front intakes have some thin tape covering the nose slats, but the shapes that lay behind are still completely visible.

Seeing the WRX STi's more aggressive bodywork so clearly now, we can see Subaru are in a strong position to do battle with Mitsubishi's slick new EvoX. Keep an eye out over the next few days and weeks leading up it's debut in Tokyo as further official details are released.

I want to know what the sedan version is going to look like

Metallman56 · 09-24-2007, 11:43 AM

you guys like that? i think it looks like ass

SpyhunteR · 09-24-2007, 11:48 AM

nice that the fenders are popped out a bit. I miss the boxy fenders though

The euro market is gonna love it.

However, for the record, I miss the ole bugeye.

bigbenSC · 09-24-2007, 02:17 PM

Evo X > STI At least as far as looks are concerned!

timberwoof · 09-24-2007, 02:43 PM

Yeah I'm digging the EVO more than the STi in looks. But I've always been a fan of the STi since they hit our shores.

Cormaster · 09-24-2007, 02:58 PM

Its not bad. I wouldn't call it ugly by any means, just more of the same. It looks too much like other hatchbacks on the market, and now the WRX no longer has a unique look to it.

04-05 were the best looking WRX's

Thank god I'm not the only one

Dislike that personally. I enjoy the STI's from about 3 years ago those were great looking cars. You can now get at least 4 other cars that look nearly identical to that new STI

atc3434 · 09-26-2007, 09:55 AM

I'll second the bug - eyes, the WRX's unique look set it apart, without that, its just not the same.

timberwoof · 09-26-2007, 05:15 PM

Anybody have any pics of what the sedan is going to look like?
