I have noticed STI, at least here in the US, has become more of a badge thing. Though I loved the S209. I feel a lot of it is down to American consumers are cheap fucks and won't buy anything unless it adds an enormous amount of horsepower. Not steering response, or more aggressive gearing, or better handling. Those little additions made the S209 desirable to me. But I know I read too many comments talking about how some other STI owner could 'build' their own S209 and make it 'better' and I just think that sums up how a US consumer is.
