Subaru Celebrates 20th Year of the WRX STI with JDM Only Edition
The good news is that the car with which Subaru is celebrating the WRX STI’s 20th birthday, seen in the gallery above, is appropriately boy-racer hot. The bad news—and we know most of you saw this one coming—is that the limited edition car will sell its mere 300 examples entirely in Japan. Sucks to the western world yet again.
The tantalizingly unavailable STI gets a firmer suspension package to go with a revised lip spoiler and rear wing, as well as having special badging and 18-inch alloys to finish the look. New look Recaro seats, red stitching, and an updated gear lever knob won’t let the driver forget what a special edition he’s in—same with the price tag, which will crest 4.2 million Yen ($42,000 or so).Â

Subaru doesn't understand their markets. The STI currently on sale in the US is a watered down version of its' former self. North American Subaru fans have bashed their teeth into their faces trying to talk sense to Subaru over the years, to no avail. The performance seekers have gone elsewhere (Mazdaspeed on the lowend and Nissan GTR on the high end). If FHI/Subaru want to get back into the game they need to build a hardcore/supercar with the STI badge.
