maybe when it comes to foresters, but when it comes to hairdos, that's a whole different story...

Hairdoos? That implies there is something wrong with my hair. Hold on I'll ask it... It said "nothings wrong, tell him to STFU"

Subaru listens to it's buyes pretty well, the bug-eye died because people said it was ulgy, then they went with the 06-07 face to match the tribecca, din't work so they made the hatch, if enough Impreza fans gripe about it, they will change that too.

I for one never understood why they didn't go back to a two door model.

JDM Subaru Impreza goes on sale with 250HP 2.0L turbo

Subaru began selling the 2008 Impreza in Japan today, and the news from Fuji Heavy on its little rally car continues to surprise. Yesterday, Car Magazine in the UK reported that Subaru would discontinue selling the WRX model in Europe in favor of a stripper version of the STi. Today we learn from Subaru's official JDM specs that the Impreza S-GT model, which we know as the WRX, will not come with the same 224-horsepower, 2.5L flat-four turbo engine that we'll be getting in the U.S. Instead, the S-GT in Japan will come with a 2.0L flat-four turbo that produces 250 horsepower.

Subaru doesn't offer any explanation as to why each market gets its own engine, though we'd certainly like an explanation as to why we we're still being offered the current WRX's older, less powerful 2.5L motor. Odds are it has something to do with emissions and the added cost of making the 2.0L engine meet U.S. standards, so perhaps it's still possible the WRX will be sold with the new engine in the U.S. and our patience will pay off one day. We still expect a Ralliart version of Mitsubishi's new Lancer to arrive soon making somewhere in the neighborhood of 225 to 250 horsepower, so Subaru would be rise to have the WRX ready for it.

Check out the official press release from Subaru after the jump, which also includes info about the Impreza 15S and 20S base models, as well as 37 high-res images in our gallery by clicking below.

it's a STi parts list, not an STi

"Information of STI sport part conformity - The STI sport part which conforms to the new model in presser which is sold on June 5th becomes as follows." then it's a parts list and their cost

When it's highly modified, yeah, it looks pretty good... especially when the body panals are covered! lol

My dream is to paint my GC flat black.
