I've been doing quite a lot of research on the new STi, and what they have done to the chassis is amazingly impressive. For any of you who are in the market for a new 30-40K car, there is a very lengthy video of the STi press release presentation where they go over all the new changes.
I thought about listing all the changes they made to the chassis but that would take awhile, lets just say its very extensive. Engine mods are only limited to a new tune which improves throttle response (a lot) and turbo lag (a bit). Really reworked interior with even the smallest details are worked out and optimized (seating position, luggage compartments, door openings, ect... Base model comes with IMO much nicer wheels - in black, and can be bought without negotiating for $1000 below invoice ($31,000 without delivery). However, I'm gonna hold out for a few years until they update the engine with direct injection, which will more than likely be coupled with twinscrool turbo and equal length headers. Cross shopping with a M235i (which is farrrrrr more expensive, about 50K with very limited options) but I want something with more differences than my 911. I don't think there's many other alternatives for what the STi is trying to do at its price point. Golf R is too lame, Evo is too old (and extremely unreliable from my experience, oh and you thought the subie interior is bad??)
