The WRX gets a boost in power: 265 horsepower (up from 224) and 244 lb-ft of torque (up from 226). A new STI-inspired body kit, 17" grey-painted wheels shod with wider summer-only tires, and new seat upholstery further differentiate the WRX from last year's model; the suspension has also been re-tuned for better handling. The WRX now comes exclusively with a manual transmission.
A new 2.5GT model joins the Impreza lineup; it gets the 224 horsepower turbocharged engine from last year's WRX coupled to a 4-speed automatic transmission as well as many of the comfort and convenience features offered as options on the Impreza 2.5i and WRX.

Subaru will use the ongoing British Motor Show in London to showoff its Subaru Impreza WRX STI concept vehicle. If the customers' feedback proves to be positive, the Japanese company will probably produce a limited lot of the cars during the next half a year.The 380S index means that the car is powered by an engine rated at 380 metric horsepower, which is an equivalent of 279.5Kw or almost 375hp.
The Subaru Impreza has been rated the safest small car of 2008 by The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety and there are several good reasons for that high rating.
According to the institute the 2008 Subaru Impreza had good results during the side, frontal and rear crash tests and also offered good protection to the driver and the rear passenger thanks to the airbags that protect the torso area

Come the year 2020, new cars and light trucks sold in the U.S. must average 35 mpg. It’s the law. But why wait? We’ve rounded up eight new models that deliver a 35-mpg average right now, more or less, according to federal Corporate Average Fuel Economy (CAFE) calculations.
Reality check: Although the Congress has mandated 35 mpg, our tests show that 35-mpg cars get 25 to 27 mpg in the real world. Close enough for government work? Well, yes, but there is a solid logic at work here. CAFE is a regulatory process first and foremost, and CAFE mpg comes from laboratory tests designed to reliably measure mileage for regulatory purposes. Any resemblance of your mileage to CAFE is purely coincidental.
But there is a payoff. The government tests are extremely reliable in producing the CAFE milea

Although the Subaru and Toyota versions of this coupé will look different from one another around the front and rear, both will be powered by Subaru’s 2.0-litre flat four engine, making this the first time that a Subaru boxer engine has powered a Toyota.A naturally aspirated version of the petrol boxer engine with 175bhp is being considered for the base model, and there is potential for a hot 2.5-litre turbocharged model later.This will be a car inspired by the classic rear-drive AE86 Toyota Corolla GT coupé from the 1980s, a car known fo
it depends on how much you are intending to mod either one. if youre going to get the car and not mod it at all, then the subaru sti would kick ass every single time, but you'd be better off getting an evo. however if youre going to mod the shit out of the car and want to run 9's with it, you would want the civic, but youre going to get beat by any evo with more than 3,000 in the engine.

A new generation of the Subaru Impreza WRX STI will be making its world debut on October 24 at the 40th Tokyo Motor Show in Japan. The new Impreza is a product of Subaru Tecnica International (STI).
In a press release, the new all-wheel drive Impreza WRX STI is said to get new performance parts to give more power and great handling. It will be launched at the eve of Subaru Tecnica International’s 20th anniversary in April 2008. Its design was made to win FIA World Rally Championship in future seasons
STI model versions started back in 1994 when the first STI version of the Impreza was released with 250 PS @6500 rpm engine and weighed in at 2,650lb. STI made this vehicle to win the WRC. Since then the Subaru World Rally Car has been based on the turbo WRX model.
Based in Mitaka, Tokyo, Subaru Tecnica International inc. and is a wholly owned subsidiary of Fuji Heavy Industries Ltd.
Founded in 1988, STI was tasked to enhance Subaru’s motorsport activities including the WRC. Th
The totally redesigned Subaru Impreza WRX STi was officially released by Subaru yesterday. After a trio of teasers released throughout the month and the month before, Subaru decided to turn on the lights in their photo studio for the complete release of the highly-anticipated car. The new WRX STi is all-wheel drive just like its 4-door predecessor.
The nee WRX STi is powered by an exclusive 2.0L
The wait is finally over. Subaru has released official photos and initial info on the new JDM-spec Impreza WRX STI. Details remain scant, however, as Subaru only tells us that the new STI is powered by a 16v 2.0L boxer with a twin-scroll turbo mated to a 6-speed manual. SI-DRIVE, multi-mode Drivers Control Center Differential (DCCD) and Vehicle Dynamics Control (VDC) are also standard. All of these things have been widely speculated on and/or reported already. Specific power numbers are conspicuously absent, so we'll have to wait for the rest of it when the car bows in Tokyo in a couple of weeks. Based on what's already been leaked, look for 304 horses and 311 lb-ft of torque in the Japanese-market model. What's no longer a mystery is the car's appearance, which is muscular and aggressive -- a huge improvement over the base WRX.[Source: Subaru]

Subaru has released the second teaser image of the new Impreza WRX STi, showing the rear-end of the anticipated car. The Impreza WRX STi is set to be unveiled at the Tokyo Motor Show this month. The car is said to be powered by a 2.5L 4-cylinder turbo, producing an excess of 300 horsepower. It is speculated the car will do a 0-to-60 time of only 4.5 seconds.

Em estratégia muito utilizada atualmente na internet, a Subaru divulga foto bem "escurecida" do novo Impreza WRX STi, de tal maneira que não exiba todos os detalhes da nova versão. Deste modo, pretende causar uma maior e melhor expectativa quanto ao lançamento.

Só espero que tenham feito um trabalho mais agressivo, também, na dianteira...

Previous spy shots of the car revealed an integrated rear-diffuser and a quad-exhaust tailpipe arrangement at the rear.Most sources agree the new Subaru STI will develop up to 300hp (224kW) and 450Nm of torque from its turbocharged boxer engine.There’s no word if STI engineers will be able to match Mitsubishi’s new Evo with their own dual-clutch gearbox. The U.S. market is expected to receive a 2.5L engine while Japan and Europe will make do with a 2.0L mill.Recent Posts of Global Auto/Motor Show:+ Volkswagen Dieselution Tour Educating U.S Consumers Greener Technology+ Toyota’s Lexus May Add More Powerful Hybrids+ Mitsubishi L

Set to debut in Tokyo next month, the next-generation Subaru Impreza WRX STi has undergone years of hefty testing at the renowned Nurburgring track. Based on the new Impreza Hatchback, the new WRX STi will once again do its best to triumph the also recently launched Mitsubishi Evo X. While the Evo stays in its sedan form, the new STi will most likely stay as a hatchback. However, that's not
Though Subaru engineers took careful measures to ensure their Impreza WRX STi tester wasn't spotted en route to the Nurburgring or at the track's staging area, eventually the car cover had to come off. It appears Subaru engineers were forced to unveil the production body of the new STi in order to test how the final form affects cooling. Though we just showed you this official teaser shot of the STi, these spy shots show the car outside in perfect light where every detail of the new design is cleary visible. Aside from some black tape, the blue STi underneath is practically naked. Note what appear to be air extractor vents or intake scoops on the sides of the front bumper, a design element we weren't entirely aware of before. We can also clearly see the rear wing now, which is less ostentatious than we were hoping. The STi has always been known for sporting an obnoxious rear wing, but it looks like that tradition will end with the 2008 model.
I like Subaru in general because they have a reputation for marketing directly to women and gay people, and I think that’s important. (I also like them because of their standard AWD, and excellent mileage, and the fact that the Forester is one of the few compact SUV’s that really does fit in a compact parking space.)
For this week’s Media Monday, we give you a look at the 2008 Subaru Impreza ad.

The all-new WRX is bigger and roomier—and lighter. (There’s a new base Impreza, too.)
Six years ago, when we first looked deep into its big, round bug eyes, we fell hard for the WRX, the ’roided-up version of the basic-transportation Subaru Impreza. Yes, we were smitten, and we emoted to the tune of two consecutive 10Best awards. But something’s gone sour. The WRX hasn’t aged well, particularly on the inside, and these days there’s a bunch of younger, hotter models we’d rather make a mixtape for, like the VW GTI and the Mazdaspeed 3. But the WRX has been calling us again—it’ll be different this time, I swear, it says—in hopes of rekindling the flame with an all-new 2008 version.
Holy bejeebus—what happened to its face?
The ’08 WRX will again be offered in two body styles, a sedan and a five-door. The five-door looks more like a traditional hatchback this time around, so fans of the old wagon might be disappointed
Subaru is guaranteeing customers exceptional value from the final-edition versions of its iconic Impreza 2.5 WRX saloon and Sports Wagon. Called GB270, the last-of-the-line current Impreza offers around £7,600 in extra equipment for the saloon and just under £7,000 for the Sports Wagon. Both models cost £22,995 on-the-road – only £2,898 and £1,898 more than the standard Impreza WRX saloon and Sports Wagon respectively. Named after Rally GB – Subaru’s most successful WRC stage – and the 270 PS the Prodrive-uprated engine produces, the GB270 models can be ordered from July 10 with first deliveries planned for September 1. Numbers will be strictly limited to 300 for the Impreza GB270 saloon and 100 for the Sports Wagon.Both models benefit from the 270 PS Prodrive Performance Pack which boosts power by 40 PS and torque by a staggering 74 lb ft to 310 lb ft. The result is a 0-60 mph time reduced from 5.9 to 5.3 seconds and a 0-100 mph time of 13.9 instead of 14.4 seconds. Mid-r

DescriptionSpecific: Front Lip SpoilerFRP General: -Front Spoilers are the first point to receive airflow resistance; the design of the front spoiler determines the final handling of the vehicle. The GRACER front spoilers are designed to reduce airflow going beneath the vehicle and also direct air to critical areas such as the radiator and intercooler.While driving air turbulence occurs around the front tire, this turbulence can disturb airflow all the way to the back of the vehicle, where it can reduce the function of the rear spoiler. The GRACER Side Skirt is designed to smooth out the air turbulence towards the back of the vehicle, to achieve safe handling of the vehicle.The GRACER Rear Spoiler is not just another cosmetic rear spoiler, in addition to enhancing the appearance of the vehicle it was also designed to be extremely functional. GRACER Aero Kits are designed to give maximum down force and airflow effect to maximum performance form the original body style.
