hey i found this on the japanese website. you can pretty much get STi to tune any model there, this is what they are starting in australia too. hope they decide to open a facility here, the australian one was first one outside of japan and they are the ones developing the H6 turbo for the STi legacy.

Indeed. . . a B4 STi (hopefully wagon version availabe) would be my daily driver. . . which would free up the WRX STi to be a fun tuner/weekend/track car. 8)

H6 turbo has been believed to see JDM and AUDM end of 05 start of 06, so i would think sometime 06 for the usa. STi japan is doing the H6 now reported in a mag i recieved the other day as STi aust is working on putting the 300hp 2.5ltr engine in impreza, legacy and forester STi models for the aust market... they also spoke of other things in subaru pipelines... a smaller then impreza model should be out b4 the new impreza in 06(which the wagon is no more, they replacing it with a sport hatch, could this be the next impreza WRC car?could they use the smaller car for WRC?) engines in development besides the H6 turbo is a 2.3ltr diesel model... and subaru said a H8 and H10 are being "looked at!!!" of course being looked at is nothing certain about those two engines, but they would be nice! damn subaru is really starting to get serious. oh and they also spoke about subarus upcoming ppl mover.

Wasn't that the reason subaru hasn't been kicking ass in the WRC, because the impreza is too big and the only 4 door runing now.
A sport hatch would be fun
