First Official Pic of 2008 Subaru Impreza WRX STi

reprinted from today's Carscoop:
Stop the press! The first official teaser picture of the highly anticipated 2008 Subaru Impreza WRX STi just fell into our hands this morning catching us totally by surprise. We’re still waiting for the official release to get all the juicy details but for now we can tell you that the 2008 Impreza STi which will debut next month at the Tokyo Show, will be equipped with a 300 Hp turbocharged boxer engine. Despite the fact that this is just a teaser image shot from above, the bulgy fenders and the hood scoop leave no doubt that the STi will be quite more aggressive than its highly critiqued WRX spouse.

Below are images of the Subaru Impreza WRX from the year 2000 up to 2006 (with some years having more than one model) so you can see the design evolution.

These images are from Japan's Subaru site and they include S202, S203, S204 and the STi versions. Also, the models may have slight variations from Northern America Models:

Animated Wallpapers By Sara Burns

With this crazy trend of wallpapers, wall decals, wall stickers, and wall murals, how do you one up the present products in the market?

Make actual moving wallpaper.
Okay, so it's more like moving light, but the effect is a wall covering that is animated.
Personally, I think it's very cool for a commercial space, but in a residence... I'm afraid I might get motion sickness.

But you decide for yourself.
