I suspect the rendering is a bit over the top of the standard ST, but clearly this is the best looking example I have seen yet.

Here of course is the real ST in 5-door. I would love it if the 3-door get's the revised front facia that includes the vertical vents below the outer edges of the headlights, dat's a cool look

The tires/wheels are way bigger than I think it will get just by comparing it to the 5-door, but, the key to me, the roofline and the rear window shape and size and overall proportions. For that I suspect the rendering is close, so I think this thing is going to fill the bill.

If you told me just 5-years ago that I would be lusting a Ford and looking upon Honda with disdain, I would have said impossible!

The rendering looks awesome! Though the wheels are cartoonishly big.

Given my use for the vehicle I am probably more likely to buy the 5-door, but man that car looks sweet!

Generally, I like it. Not a fan of the clown car wheels and the bass mouth grille.

I think any econobox will have a bit of quirky (think previous gen WRX & Evo). The bass mouth grille looks to me, although it may not appeal to all.

I like the wheels too. Sorry for posting in a "Doug & Chris only" thread.

Jeff and I are going to start a P-car thread
