Subaru is garbage now. LOL.

This thing might as well have an Integra Type-R badge. The EVO IX RS still pwns this thing and is alot cleaner looking/less ricey/

Back in the day on Subarus:

Type-R = 2drs
Typre-RA= 4drs

So I'm glad they are sticking to RA for this sedan. I don't know what the extra "r" means, probably rally.

meh even the sti seats were made to catter to the US FAT market... the jdm ones are a bit more snug around the legs and hips...

To be fair the US has a higher average height than does Japan. Increased height means a larger frame.

oh your right larger frame in every way tho! haha dont tell me a 6+foot avarage build dork cant drive a jdm impreza! because there is a crap load of head room in those cars, jdm or not!

all im saying is that well the 04+ models sold in the US have seats that dont really offer much support for the driver and thats because editors and drivers in the US found the 02-03 seats to be "cramped" and "small" for everyday comfort and well bring the sti with a price tag at around 35+ wider seats with leather was a must for that price market

I loved the seats in my '02. The '04+ seats always felt limp.

That's too much for my taste. I don't like that wing and "R". And the white rim... It would be nice if they just bring regular S204. I would get it in a heart beat.
