Tuned by STI (tS) and a car actually branded STI are two different things. You don't see anyone calling the Forester tS a high performance STI model, do you? tS = lightly tuned sport package. STI = high performance edition.

tS stands for "tuned by STi" and STi is the one that brands the tS badge on the car because it's a car that was developed, tuned, tested and released by STi. Hence I consider any tS car to be an STi version. STi has been using the tS moniker for the past few years to designate their versions of Subaru's cars.

Also, STi doesn't HAVE to name their cars "STi". Think of it this way: the STi high performance variant of the WRX STi isn't actually the WRX "STi". It's the WRX STi "tS", "type RA", "S206" and so on and so forth. These are the cars that are actual STi products that were brought to fruition in the company. Just look at the complete car section in sti.jp.

The only response I can give to that is that STi hasn't been doing that with any of their cars for years as far as those kinds of drastic changes. They do upgrade the steering rack on the tS cars though with stiffer bushings and reinforced bolts

Just found this: http://www.autoguide.com/auto-news/2...ews_4editorial
It's a concept car, so at least someone is thinking about it. Let's hope they go ahead with the project. |

Barring the fact that it was posted on April 1, does anyone have any info on if/when/where/how those tail lights might exist for purchase? |

There is a very long thread about this concept called new brz at nyias just below this one. Short answer is STi is looking at bringing STi branded parts to the U.S. over the next couple of years. No definite answer on whether those taillights will be included or definate time of availability.
