Hmm, haven't seen to many wingless STi's.

"All Impreza WRX STI models are powered by a turbocharged and intercooled 2.5-liter DOHC Boxer engine producing 293 horsepower at 6,000 rpm and 290 lb.-ft. of peak torque at 4,400 rpm."

Did they detune it, or were they jacked by the new SAE hp ratings like Honda was?

I think it's a good move by sub. Makes the interior look much better, instead of those hidious blue seats.

Well, it should be IX GSR SSL vs. Limited, but there is no '06.5 SSL I guess. To bad they didn't number plaque the MR's like they are doing those cars.

I like it alot!

got rid of those hidious blue seats,,,,lol

got rid of that stupid park bench rear wing.

Now all they needed to do was not have changes the front end,,, last years model front was mucho better than this Tribeca redheaded stepchilded *** looking front end.

And also when did they re rate the hp? 293/290,,is this because of the new testing they are using?

So THAT'S what a real interior looks like! I'd almost be jealous if it weren't for the package it came in. Seriously though, way more "refined" than the Evo's interior.
