from the looks of it there will be a 6mt or at with 305 or 350 hp due out in japan nov this year so we might see it next year? Thats just my guess from looking at pic 3 at the bottom.
That thing is soooo ugly. And yet strangely good looking. Front is obviously 2012 Impreza inspired, while the rear is BRZ (especially the diffuser).... Front and rear overhangs have been minimized.... Building on Issues posts 2,900 pounds (woooooo!) 6spd manual carries over but a new 6SPD Auto replaces the STi' 5-speed auto. Fuel economy still sucks.... Lol
**** that's ugly. No thanks! It better be boosted at least, sure N/A is fun but... come on, turbo is way more fun in my book.
I'm hoping they give it a 1.6L V-tech engine with DOHC and 16 valves. And I think they should call it the STI Type-R.
this is probably some japanese dealership offering a hopped-up version of the current impreza. Just because it's Japan, doesn't mean it doesn't have it's share of people who try to make slow cars look like fast cars. Now if only I could read moonspeak..
Looks like the openings beside the badge = new scoop. Channel the air back to the intercooler. Very nice.
