STI S209 Vs AMG A45S
This month's Evo mag (issue no.272) is running a comparison test between the STI 209 and AMG A45S. I just don't want to read it as I have a feeling that the A45S is going to kick its ass!!!!
Sad when a company throws away it's great heritage.... Last edited by JD001; 03-18-2020 at 01:38 PM. |

I agree. They have waited too long to update the car. I don't think their is another sti update coming this year as there have been zero spy shots from anywhere.

New WRX / STI is slated MY22.
Beer Virus May have changed that, who knows. |

I'm of the thinking that Subaru has no appetite to rekindle its motor racing heritage. They've lost the kudos/momentum that they had accumulated back in the 1990s.
New customers don't know the brand for what it achieved in the rallying world.. Hybrid shopping trollies here we come... |

As for Toyota, I can kinda forgive due to the GR4 and it looks like they're trying hard with the Supra.. |

Isn't the new STI rumored to have 400+ hp? If so, thats a pretty healthy number.
Subaru has been pretty lazy with the current gen, but I don't think they've completely given up on the STI badge. FWIW, I enjoyed my STI hatch a lot. Not so much as a track machine, but more of an all-weather capable street car.

Eh I don’t know I like the high revvy engine of the S209, the unique body work and the limited edition. Although I do like what they had to say about the A45 in the eCOTY. And we don’t even have issue 271 yet, let alone the 272!
