Also, the Sti is geared more towards people with the inner thrill seeker in mind, yet they swapped out the race style seats for something that looks more comfortable rather than something that is going to hold you in the seats while taking a corner hard.

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.

That's a good thing. The one on my 04 was a precisely the right height to cover up a light bar on a car following you, so you had no idea if the car behind you was a cop.
shadoquad and RoshDawg like this.

Subaru keeps claiming the hatch sold poorly, so they won't bring it back. I call BS, but I won't be surprised if we don't see a hatch version of this STi ever. Especially because the "hatch" version of the base Impreza looks more like a Forester than an Impreza...
