Right. I said it would look like a hot lava. But just look like, not EXACTLY like. Lol.

If you're gonna fantasize about a custom color think of something not like any OEM color like BMWs Laguna Seca Blue or Subaru's old Sonic Yellow.

Haha. No, it never got a name. But some engineer was quoted as saying it was the traditional color of a japanese Monkeys backside, so that kinda stuck.

Oh shit, don't get me started, I love that color!

So evidently the 2015 STI carrie an msrp of only 29k in UK. Wonder what that will translate into the states?

They stopped selling it there for MY14 because they were already selling the new impreza like us but didn't want to sell the "old" WRX/STi along side it. It was a marketing thing

I'd be surprised if the new STi is priced under $35k in the states still. Only 1,000 copies coming to the USA with the famed WRB and gold wheels combo.

I can't believe they're doing a limited run for that combo. I don't see the point other than them charging more for this limited run and trying to cash in on die-hard fans, which, as fan, I'd take as a slap on the face

. On the other hand, if they are in fact charging the same price for the limited run, then I guess you just get some kind of exclusivity for being an early adopter. I'm just bitter that its not standard, and when the time comes that I need 4 doors, I'll just have to go aftermarket for the gold wheels, short-throw shifter, etc.

That is a slap in the face considering it became famous from a racing series they don't even participate in anymore so only real fans would care that much. I didn't know about the limited run until now and that is hella crappy.

Granted maybe nobody cares. The other day I had someone tell me their STI was the iconic black with gold wheels
