I love this car, LOVE it, but already hate the seats!

 

6600rpm redline?!?!?!?!?!

 

Hey, at least is comes with the JDM looking hazard button finally. LOL

 

Following Subaru's tradition of producing "meh-looking" little cars with loads of performance...... but I still don't know if I would pay for one...... can't wait to see how it drives

Much better than the WRX though, as far as styling goes, but I really need to see it in person before I pass any judgement...... not quite as striking as the Evo X, I must say.....

 

I'm not a big fan of this new STi (yet) but I think it looks a lot better than the new evo X

 

yup still don't like it.....

 

+1

I bet it looks even more striking in person. And I must say that it wears that dark grey color extremely well. I think it's going to be an incredible car.

 

It may be that with the US-Spec block and the demands of the Dual AVCS that the oiling system just might not be up to par for trips past 6600 rpm.

I want to know what turbo is on it for it to make peak TQ at 4000...altho it could be that the D-AVCS could make it peak there instead of 4400 on the same turbo.

OR...it could just be that the red zone starts at 6600 and it actually limits at 7100 like that last one.

 

Yeah I will have to see it in person and sit in it at least

 

OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Its got 245's on it.

 

Do want.. :swoon:

 

I'd drive it...but still fugly. That's "fucky ugly" for those not in the know.



If anyone honestly thinks that looks good, you're lying to yourself and everyone else.

 

red tailights is a must

 

Someone pshop some red over those tails please!!

 

I'd rock that car anyday, but only after 10th Street had done some magic with the rear tail-lights.

 

245 tires stock is awesome.

Did anyone else notice the manufacturer tag from Illinois? Are they making the STi's in th States now?

 

Yes. No.

 

hmm

when i am ready to upgrade the wife into a newer car i might pick one of these up.. well not the sti of course.. hehe.. not a bad looking car though..

 

Has anyone heard the damn thing?! All the clips I can find online own my face with incredibly loud, raucous, burbly boxer thunder.

Just add catless downpipe and for extra crispy 911s!

 

so... could EJ25run have been telling the truth?

 

i forgot what company make the overlays but the red tails are done and do improve the back imo

 

that only has one exhaust pipe bob^^^^

yea, i was just showing the taillight overlay, its the same on the sti

 

o man seeing it on video is even more arousing! Im loving it

 

I agree. It looks bad ass in the video.

By the way, anyone know if that center console gauge screen (displaying what looked like TPS, AVC-S and fuel) is stock?!?!?!?!?

 

probably is an option.
When do these hit the streets and how much will they costs?

 

Should be January I've heard and between 34 and 39 grand fully loaded...

 

its finally starting to grow on me i think... at least the 245's are pretty sweet. bumed about no more potenzas though.

 

Ouch.
OK, so if they are that much, I'll be getting one from the used market about 2 years after that. Unless I make a boatload of money somehow... Hmmm.

Anyone want to buy one of my kids?

 

Like an orange line?

 

No, its the STi TMIC...even looks a tad bigger.

Just no STi painted on.

 

No STi painted on?!? You lose like 10 Horsepowas!
Thank god you have the fugly spoiler to make up for that...

 

Improves, without a doubt.
Fixes, not unless Chip Foose and a crew of body workers comes with them
