2 quotes from the article I liked:
STi's President
Another general quote from R&T writers
BTW, I'd take the S202 STi over the Evo any day, bug eyes and all!
STi's President
In whatever shape or form the Mitsubishi Evolution VIII comes in, we'll be prepared to counter it. So yes, you can assume that we're saving the STi brand for that chore. And I'm sure Mitsubishi is already prepared to counter our STi effort. It's a chess match between them and us in Japan currently, and the case will be no different in the States.
When the car first goes on sale in January, the 4G63 will produce about 275 bhp, but according to inside sources, it's now easily capable of pumping out 300-plus bhp. This, no doubt, in preparation to counter a potential high-horsepower Subaru WRX STi...

I kind of like the new front grill...I just hope we get the vents on the side of the front bumper as well cuz that gives the car a little more character...
