It is now as if a $1200 turbo and maybe $600 injectors give you almost the same power plant. If you want the extra 6th gear, you can get that too... This the same problem Audi has been battling in the A vs. S model lines. They have mostly succeeded by having significantly different engine configurations and finishing levels. Subaru has lost the engine differentiator and never had the trim levels as one.

What?
STi has a much better/different transmission
Si-Drive ECU
Dual AVCS heads
MASSIVE fender flares
Much better suspension
Upgraded interior
HIDs
Massive brakes
Better exhaust
The difference between the WRX and the STi has never been bigger than in the current line up. They don't even share the same body anymore!
