Twin scroll on a 2.0 engine plus the subaru's "vtec" version and cam phasing will mean that the new engine will be virtually free of lag and instant torque through out the entire band. No more waiting for 3000 rpms to kick in for the turbo to fully spool... imagine having full turbo spool at 1500rpms. WOW. Instant kick in the pants at any range.
Of course, this is speculation but it would be nice.

As cool as that sounds, imagine how hard it must be to save gas. (puts on "this car is meant to be driven" flame suit)

They still have silver, just called it silver this time instead of gray . What I'd like to see is a real gray... something along the lines of Dark Shadow Gray from Ford. That would be sweeeeeeet. Esp with gold wheels .

WRB was always my favorite and more or less still is, but I'm liking Aspen White a lot more every day. Also, the OBP is awesome when clean, and the CGM is fine too. There really isn't a color I don't like. I'm glad they don't offer the STI in RED though since you probably would need to offer five Get-Out-of-Jail cards when purchasing that car.

Off-topic: I'm with you in that I love my world-rally blue and the thing looks so bling compared to other cars on the road (the color sticks out like a sore thumb) but white looks so clean (especially with gold). I personally would love to have a red STI (especially with gold wheels).
