i got to agree the new scooby is better looking in the flesh its phat!! the new evo x is nice but lacks that agressive look of the older evos! i agree with all those that think the subaru should go back to being a saloon and i think it should go back to looking more like the origional they were by far the best subaru!! and as this yr im buying one or the other i have a few more test drives to think about the one i want altho the scooby sounds the dogs nuts

I have a 2007 STi and love it. I’m not too big a fan of the hatch style STi. I believe rally cars have to be based off a production type model. People have to understand that Subaru’s STi line is built for rally where it’s not about looks, it’s about performance and handling. So if you’re wondering why this year’s STi is a hatch it’s because the drivers and testers felt that that the hatch version of the Impreza handled better over the sedan version. I know I’m a Subie owner but for the 08 models if it was a judged just for looks I would have to choose the Evo X.

both cars are good but i think the subaru with all the good stickers/vinlys kinda take the lead… but i would my self prefere to have an evo! as i think they are stunning!!
(why did subaru make a hatchback)

EVO EVO EVO. Scoobys are too common. EVO’s are stylish and not for the toy boy racers, they’re for the serious driver. (cant beat drifting a 40′ bus tho’)

Technology and performance wise, these are the best the East can offer. But to be honest I really believe that the new Sub is quite ugly and far below expectations. I hope at least they perform better in WRC.

driven both cars but prefered the sti looks so much better in the flesh. the evo looks very conservative a mix of alfa 155 rear and volvo front also very small in the rear seats.
when price is brought to the mix there is a clear winner, i bought the sti plus this is a 2.5 over 2.0

all boils down to your own preference.

Yep, it’s a real shame that such an iconic car now looks like any other rubbish hatchback. Not only did the previous Impreza stand out because of it’s speed and handling but also because in this age of pathetic bubble cars it retained the classic 3-section car shape; now all that has gone. I hope Subaru realise the error of their ways, but I doubt it.

It is a shame that subaru created this. who ever desgined it must be shaked, as it looks really ugly. No more classsic subaru shape, no back wing anymore.

I don’t like the look of either of them, the Evo’s cheap grey plastic front end looks worse then a normal non evo lancer. As for the scoob, i’d it will be a grower, and when have scoobs ever been lookers?

I would like to take issue with Clint’s comment that the new Impreza looks like a Deawoo… when it clearly looks more like Kia Rio hatchback! Haha

I think both cars looked and probably performed better in their previous guises; the Subaru now looks stupid and the Mitsubishi seems a little too modern. Personally I think that if Subaru wanted a mainstream hatchback design they should have kept the Impreza as a proper saloon and brought the new model out under a different name… something along the lines of the ‘Unimpreza’.

seriously forget about what all your mates say,, go to both a subaru, and a mitsi dealer, look at the older STi,s and Evo’s without no prejudice maybe even test drive them both sit in them, and imagine you were gonna buy one… and own it for a few years, remeber forget what other ppl say…. take a good prper look and feel…… you will see for some reason the subaru is just a more lovable car… espeially in white…. everything on the evo is straight lines.. and the car itself looks thin and a bit like a tin, the subaru is full of curves and a thicker body.

i agree think they need to learn from Honda about design… i think subarus are nicer looking the older ones anyway, i use to be a big fan of evo’s sat in both a evo and STi, would have to say subaru is a car for car lovers, and evos are bought for the sake of other people

my point of veiw tho is the honda civic type r looks better than them both, run better, and ahell lot cheaper and mine is a turbo so its faster than both of these pieces of shit…. evos lack loverbility, take it from someone whose always right subarus are better, oh and also top gear….. but when it comes to the new ones….. its a close call they are both rubbish…. but watching a live video not picture,,,, subarus really doesnt look so bad. the evo just lacks charisma and spirit…. honda forever

I really like the look of the new STi, but for me it’s all down to driving and I have test-driven the Evo. All I can say is – amazing. But, to be fair I’ll have to try the Sti as well. Not that I can afford either, sadly

Both are excellent cars in terms of driving performance and fun.
BUT, the problem is that this STi is VERY VERY UGLY, I wonder how the Subaru designers “managed” to create this terrible shape, a real insult to any Subaru fun and owner (including me as an owner of a 2003 WRX).
On the other hand EVO X is the most attractive EVO of all times and probably the most efficient too (read the reviews in comparison to IX and watch the first Japanese videos)

I believe EVO X will be my next car…
Goodbye Subaru, my greetings to the design team.
