Subaru's STI Sport# is just the WRX tS with extra marketing
"Subaru's regional segmentation theater doesn't hide the fact that the STI nameplate has become a trim package, not a philosophy."
— Revvly Take
Subaru's refusing to bring the new WRX STI Sport# to the U.S. market, but enthusiasts shouldn't lose sleep—we're already getting functionally the same car as the WRX tS. It's the same story every generation: Subaru teases something, then settles for a half-measure that leaves everyone wondering what could've been.
