I don't think anyone really knows at this point? :notsure:

 

Engine will remain the same for 2012. The 2012 STi's should be available by August.

 

Where do you get this information? I thought the newly redesigned boxer will be available on 2012 models with additional HP. But, that is my wishful thinking.

 

Also, Subaru is keeping the 2012 STI pretty much the same as the 2011 STI. If there are ANY changes at all, it would be very minor.

As much as I love to see changes and improvements per MY, I have a feeling that the recent Japanese disaster means no changes at all for the 2012 model.

But even a minor facelift might be nice.

 

I wish (and I think we all do) that the new STI would have more power. There are a lot of car companies that are catching up in the power department...

 

If they won't, I will be looking at other brands.

 

One thing that is probably safe to say since the STi is it's own line now that there won't be many changes if any at all for a year or two. The only changes I can see are some JDM options possibly coming available on our US bound cars. IMO

 

That is correct. The Impreza is its own line now and for 2012 will have a different body style. The WRX and WRX STI are their own product line in Subaru and will most likely keep the same body style. The STI will no longer be called a Subaru Impreza WRX STI, just Subaru WRX STI

 

Waiting for 2013....nah I doubt I'll do that, they'll have to promise to up the HP to atleast 325 and then and then...wait I just started dreaming

 

Subaru likes to keep the same power levels for years:tdown:

 

We'll have to wait until August or so until we hear some details on the WRX STi trims. In the meantime, I have my eyes on the 2013 VW R coming to Canada...

 

Available next Spring (~April). 5 door only, 6 speed manual only. Few color choices, no other options. MSRP is 40k. I put money down on one and have the order sheet with all the details and specs if you are interested.

 

also interested

 

So the STi will probably not gain power or lose weight over the course of 9 years since 2004 right.. yikes. I understand not wanting to change a winner much but really it isn't hard to throw on a slightly bigger turbo and tune it accordingly and send it out the factory with at least 350hp I would think. Then Again, I am a n00b

 

Subaru can't keep some stock 305HP 2.5L engines from blowing ringlands. What makes anybody think they would raise power levels? I'd rather they sell it at 285HP and make it bullet proof for all day WOTS for the everyday joe. For the rest of us tweakers we all know what we need to do for 350HP at the crank:tup:

 

I really hope that the new redesign will attract us enthusiasts. Power should be around 350hp to be competitive with today's market. If not, we should have plenty other options.

 

Gentlemans agreement between the 3 men that are in power at FHI,Mitsubishi motors,Nissan motors had a 3 way Promise to not raise the HP of there respective high performance models w/ out consent unanimously I.E..STi,GT-R,Evo.
And since Evo is getting killed off we may finally see increase in STi HP in 2013

 

looks like a corolla but, certainly an improvement over 2008's

 

hey buddy. do NOT wait for 2012 STI. if you wait and buy it, it will say 2011 on the driver door sticker (a black label). if you buy a 2011 model, most likely it will say 2011 on the black sticker. it's because those STIs with 2010 stickers have already been sold out and they kept manufacturing in 2011 as well. i hope it makes sense.

the only difference will be the title which will say 2012 STI.

good luck!

 

hi guys, havnt any details but got a pick of wat it is spose to look like!

Looks like a Space ****--fug

 

^^ That looks a bit weird to me as well.

 

Awesome a Prius STI

 

Or Mazda 3 sedan.

 

The mirrors arent attached to the doors like the base impreza, its fakesauce

 

I think by June we'll see some pics and by August we'll see the actual STis.

 

Crap! If the 2013 looks like that, I don't think I'm waiting. Looks like the Acura designers got fired and now are working for Subaru.

If the 2012 doesn't get the new engine, with better turbo design, I might have to step up and buy a now somewhat more affordable and better performing Audi S4 instead.

 

Everyone always complains about every new design but then they buy them

And if you are considering the new S4 then by all means I would get that although most people don't cross shop cars that are in such different price ranges. The new S4 is a better performer for sure but the issue I have is it looks damn boring and are like $60K. Might as well Just get used GTR and call it a day. I saw one for $57K on line

 

I heard that there will be no more sti after 2012.

 

That is just a rumour.

 

That's not even a rumor. Don't feed the trolls.

 

My dealership says they will have info sometime in June.

 

I hope they keep STi brand.. Maybe even in 2 door rwd lightweight coupe.. and bring DI already!

 

Close, but not exactly, would be the 0846 or Toyota's FT-86, if they ever go into production lol but IMO it wudnt be a STI w/o AWD

 

My wife and I want to trade up our imprezas for a 2012 wrx & a legacy. One thing we prefer tho is an automatic option on wrx. Anyone know if they are releasing that to the US? They have it in australia as shown by this link..

"I heard that there will be no more sti after 2012."
every 2-3 years rumors start that the next year they will stop the sti.

I heard that there will be no more sti after 5017.
