That being said, I can't wait to see what Subaru does with the next STi.

my evo has a s-awc (toruque vectoring) and i love it, suspension upgrades.. dont really matter to me cuz usually everything gets changed out anyway... i hate the CVT trans, and ive been hearing that the new 6spd isnt all that great either. i do like that they went with equal length headers, maybe the sti would change my mind when they show it but i really dont see that happening just because right now... the car is ugly to me lol

I hear ya, looks are/were never really the WRX/STi's forte. Coincidentally, look what I saw this morning: http://jalopnik.com/2015-subaru-impr...-it-1496968833. I'd need a hatch though so in sedan form it's a no-go for me.

Really hope it's not a tweaked/upgraded EJ series motor. Also haven't heard the new 6 speed sucks, just that the the 0-60 times may suffer a bit due to the extra shift now required? Though this is nothing new for current GR STi owners.
