I just don't see the benefit of the $10k+ the STI costs over the WRX. Brembos are nice, sure. The selectable diff is cool. 6 speed? It's a little stronger than the 5 speed if you're going to mod it. Suspension slightly different. Wheels different. That's about it now. Motor/turbo are the same. Put them on the dyno or the track and it's the same. Body work is the same on the 11+ WRX as the STI. A lot of people like the next body style, but to me it looks like a weird Lexus IS...not in a good way.
