I understand what you mean. They are two different vehicles (the tS and STi)

But I would like to argue that they are both still sti cars despite their features and performance. Subaru Technica International is subaru's in-house tuning company. They exist to improve on subaru's vehicles. That doesn't always mean HP,turbocharging, etc. There are alot of people who like or are satisfied with 200hp. There are people who are not and I'm sure there will be an sti with an HP increase in the near future (The Tokyo Auto Show is right around the corner). However don't expect a turbocharger. STI has been on record, multiple times as saying they have no plans on adding one but there is more HP to have out of the FA engine.


All that said. I was simply saying that even though there are differences between sti, spec-C, tS, etc. They are all still sti cars.
