Thumbs up New STI-A LINE COMING OUT IN JAPAN

Theres a new STI-A line coming out in Japan,and its going to be automatic.And it has a paddle-shift too.They said that all whats with the STI will be in the STI-A line with the exception of the Brembo brakes.The news is that for now they are not going to bring it here in the states.Oh i almost forgot,the power is still 296 hp.This is going to be a nice addition to Subaru STI line-up.

yes, autostick-5 speed with 296 hp.And it doesnot have brembo brakes.Not like the 09 hatchback which is 300 hp and brembo brakes.But it is still cool,this is what i wanted for my daily driver.When u get into traffic it wont be pist-off w/it.

You don't really need to "work for subaru" to figure that one out
A) thats how you make more money as a business, by attracting more customers
B) they said they we're trying to broaden their market, which was why they watered down the WRX.

I'm just saying it's not any kind of special insider info. No need for an attitude.
