One thing confuses me though. They say it's based on a Japan-only limited edition STI. Which STI is it? Obviously it's a 2.5L, not a 2.0L like the typical JDM (or are newer JDM STI's 2.5L?)

They said it is "based on" the Spec C, not built from one.

They are talking about the light weight body of the JDM STi spec C (light roof, etc)

I like how the new 09 model comes with the Alcons that don't say Porsche.
Those six pots are nice. Love the hatch, that is all.
