The new seats provide additional bolstering and holds you more in place than before. The only reason why they seemed to be race style seats was due to the fixed head rest. Subaru claims the new adjustable head rest increases safety. I do feel just from pics that these seats are better bolstered. I also do agree that its geared towards the inner thrill seeker. Sucks that you drove an STi that was hellaflushed. That ruins the entire point of the STi.
Oh and they raised the wing to increase rearward visibility. That's probably the most polarizing feature, but no one can argue that its functional. The WRX has positive lift at 100mph while the STi passes the threshold and has negative lift at 100mph.
I wonder how the hatch will look. My guess is that they will introduce it along with a new engine in 3 years.
