    I haven't been in the loop for a while but I'm thinking about getting a new STI. What's the scoop on the new 2012?

    The scoop is integrated into the hood. Looks much better than the abomination that was the 04-05 scoop

    other than that, nothing's changed between the 08-12, other than the bumper/grill...and headlights.

    Wheels changed, they are using a different head unit, the trunk trim is color matched, but other than that same as the 2011.

    I thought the suspension was vastly changed on the 2011?

    It was. Better bushings and the addition of spherical bearings in the front lower control arm. As well as a revised spring rate front/rear and 1mm thicker sway bars front and rear as well.

    basically they took some R205 suspension goodies and made them stock parts.
