Whats the deal with the 07?

Has everyone seen this..... http://www.subaru.com/sub/misc/2007/sti/index.html

Is subaru watering down the STi or something?
Or is it that they can get better gas mileage and low insurance rates for people with 293hp?

To me the 07 STi is looking like a hybrid WRX limited/STi, all the comfort with "most" of the power/performance.

Yea..i agree with you, its headed toward more subtle STi instead of being aggresive and stuff. Well im digging the black brembo brakes though, and black leather seats hmmm...oh ya and dont forget about the sunroof

It's stylin is intended to get some of the more conservative crowd that doesn't go for the Big wing. It also offers more "refined" interior and sunroof to try and get some of the, oh, let's say BMW type crowd....

Its the new SAE ratings, most japanese cars are going down a bit. Its the same as last years. Thats also just the Limited, not the new 07.

I think it's pretty awesome. They even put an aux in into the sound system.

Exclamation Legacy or not?

Eh the 07' is the Legacy version right? Or am i not with it? Haha either way, I wish they wouldn't make a Legacy version like ive seen, it'd just ruin the whole idea of "tuner"..

That's their new "Limited" STI. It's only offered in two colors, and is limited production. They will still offer the "regular" STI.
