Unlike Subaru and the ancient STI, which just keeps getting passed up year after year and when Subaru finally does something, chances are everyone will still be ahead.
I am curious to see what the specs for the new STi are going to be. Hopefully they will really be able to wring some good power out of the FA24 while keeping the weight reasonable.
