i had a big shhpeel in a thread a long time ago over the name STi

To many people are associate the name STi with the Tuning Shop STi and the Vehicle Trim STi.

STi vehicle trim denotes that its a performance vehicle Direct from subaru.

While the Tuning shop STi has very little dealings with production models from Subaru.

and Tuning Shop STi is only responsible for vehicles like Legacy S406 and the Impreza WRX S206..the only true STi models.

ts denotes that the tuning shop STi has offered a production trim level in which they are responsible.

In Japan there are WRX STi ts models...meaning Tuning Shop STi took a Production model WRX in STi trim, and offered their shops flare..
