    Yeah I didn't catch that at first looks like an interesting car, I thought the JDM STI's didn't have TGV's?

    This appears to have the USDM 2.5l motor.

    Or EDM they use it over there too I thought, either way this is a very different option.

    our sti limited (07) was the same as the jdm's a-line (option wise)
    seeing how the a-line is not aimed for sport, but more of having an sti daily driving.
    the 2.5 would suit it better IMO.

    f that. No auto option made finding a used sti so much easier.

    Oh look, here's a nice gto, oh it's automatic...next (x1,000)

    The brakes look like those from the Legacy GT, which are actually better than the WRX 4 pots but obviously not as good as brembos. I'm guessing dropping the brembos goes with the "more daily driver" direction and keep price down, if your not going to track the STi the brembos are overkill.

    My guess is 5eat is also from the LGT.

    Now if they would just give us a damn LGT STi with 6spd and brembos (wagon please) I would be a happy camper, though a very poor camper.
