No push button start? The JDM models have it.

interior pictures are misleading.

they have a mix of jdm, edm, and maybe a usdm in there.

i dont get why theres an up close picture of the jdm guages...
false advertising

I heard no Push Start and Recaros for safety reasons. I'm not a fan of push start anyways, but I woudl have liked ot see the REcaros for people who want to buy the newer model.

Fully loaded we're going to see a $40k Sti... Wow. I have a feeling we're going to see a whole new more "mature" market interested in the v9 STi. It'll be more refined, "softer" and livable, catering towards the BMW crowd, and us younger guys are going to have a hard time affording it.

Who's going to do the first DIY Hill assist removal? Why would they put that on the STi???? Unnecessary weight!!

3400 LB Hatchback ouch!

Silverbane · 11-15-2007, 04:08 PM

OH MY GOD, 35k?!
I love the way it looks but no thanks, that would just let them think its ok to price them that high if they sell like crazy.
PFFFT, i'll pass.

You've probably never driven an STI on a wet or sleet covered Seattle hill. I welcome hill start assistance.
I believe it's part of the VDC system so it utilizes the brakes rather than extra parts. Please correct me if I'm wrong.
