Looks exactly like a BRZ with a bunch of STI badges. Needs to look more aggressive IMO.

as everyone has already said, this is not the STI model.

This is trs, which is more like a 135is.

More info:

Those seats

Limited model apparently. Carbon fiber wing, STI brakes, STI suspension, recaro seats, STI wheels

Pricing about 41k for the USD. Thats a whole lot of money for the same 200 hp.

I would rather get a Mini Cooper GP2 personally : ).

Lots of people saying this, but if you look at the sales figures Subaru is absolutely KILLING it...there are only like 3 WRX's for sale within 100 miles of me (48103) and maybe 1 STI according to cars.com I live in the snow belt where people should be demanding this car. I know it's more of a manufacturing throughput problem, but still, that's pretty incredible...

I really don't think the cars will cannibalize sales from each other. I've heard the WRX STI might become hatch only (long time ago could be totally wrong), but an AWD DCCD rally car in a hatch body just seems too different from a small rwd coupe. In my mind it's like saying the M5 and X5M will cannibalize sales from each other. My .02

Yeah I agree, the hatch and rwd coupe will attract different drivers with different taste. Don't see them stepping on each others toes.

Never. It'll compete against WRX and STI models. They will not allow it

Those seats won't make it to US models. RS4 and M3 performance seats are similar models and they don't pass DOT specs
