I'm pretty sure that it's an aluminum semi-open deck version of the 4G63.

The USDM STi (EJ257) utilizes an semi closed design... You can't make more than 500 whp before the head warps and you blow your engine. Semi closed sucks too.

I was really wanting to get an Evo X, I think now I'll get an Evo IX instead.

Well I don't want to make any prediction yet. Gotta wait until our US tunners get a hand on one of the X. I'm not really feeling the X so much, but it might look better in person.
