This is for the prototype of the production car, which Toyota has already stated the JDM weight for it. It will NOT become lighter coming to the US and since the Subaru car is supposed to be mechanically and body wise (save for bumpers, interior treatments and badging) to the Toyota, then no, it's not going to lose 200lbs in comparison.
This review is not an STI, and I'm not sure an STI has ever weighed less than the WRX? The current models are ~170lbs HEAVIER.
