Forester and Legacy have had STI parts for several model generations but never was there a special Forester STI or Legacy STI from the factory. I foresee similar treatment with the BRZ. For BRZ STI to happen, the BRZ would have to become Subaru's next cash cow ala Impreza.

Are you on drugs? So what about the Legacy STI's since 1990 in every year or two, forester STI's are a dime a dozen.
STI is not for impreza, and the same as the WRX STI has existed since 95 and versions 1 through 9 have been made, so has the legacy except for skipping gen 2. They are all subaru factory STI, not dealership crap.
STI legacies come with 6 pot brembos, all the other good shit and are genuine stupid cars. The best was a twin turbo STI EZ30 gen 4 legacy which never made production...
probably because it made 500hp and shat on the sti impreza of the day.

Just because you seppo's dont see them doesnt mean they dont exist, you're simply brainwashed and mislead by localised marketing.
Also, have a look through here for just a rough idea of the cool shit noone but japan sees.
Awesome STI vehicles that never made it out of japan for the most part
When talking about STI history.

It was founded in 1988 by Fuji Heavy Industries, the parent company of Subaru, to promote the company's performance-oriented identity.

First impreza (1994) was made from the spare parts bin of the gen 1 legacy (1988+) and was literally a bucket of bolts until 2002
