BRZ vs 2015 WRX STI
http://www.subaru.com/2015-wrx-sti.html
Has anyone jumped ship yet? New sti looks quite appealing... I want to see how it looks in SWP. However, I want a smaller spoiler perhaps. |

Would jump ship for this. Too bad Subaru would never make an STI coupe again. |

The fact that people would change cars without any experience with the other vehicle leave me makes me sad

I would wait for the comparisons. The new WRX might give you 90%+ the handling and performance of the STI for a lot less money.
And you don't get that hideous wing. |

I'd wait a couple years for the direct injected engine and all of the kinks to get worked out. I really like that there isn't a slapped-on body kit. It's all part of the regular bodywork. |

I had not seen the STI mention on their website so far. In fact, I thought they were continuing the STI over for a year or two alongside the new wrx. I personally like the hatchback models for some reason... although this new boxy shape would not really look well in a hatchback. The curves of the previous one did quite well however. |

Exactly. I owned the first year offered USDM STi in 2004. EJ257. I cannot believe they are still using it for the STI. It was a great engine 10 years ago with the extra .5L displacement over the WRX EJ205. Now with direct injection and newer technology I was hoping they would have an engine making 340-350 chp.
I like the looks and some of the suspension new bits, but no thanks with the same old 305 chp EJ257. |
