\nFor the better part of two decades, those of us in the U.S. have looked longingly across the oceans as Subaru<\/a> released a slew of special edition Imprezas<\/a> in Japan and the UK. When the WRX<\/a> finally made the trek to the States in 2002, followed by the STI<\/a> two years later, our thirst for rally-bred performance was satisfied – to a point.<\/p>\n

While the WRX and STI (and by extension, the Mitsubishi Evolution<\/a>) kept our turbocharged, all-wheel-drive lust at bay, a never-ending string of factory-fettled variants continued to come out of Fuji Heavy Industries. Names like Spec C, Type RA, Type RAR, S202, S203, S204, WR1, Spec D and RB320 all begged the question: Why not here?<\/p>\n

Well, ask and ye shall receive. After countless caffeine-fueled late nights at Subaru of America HQ, we’ve finally got a hyped-up STI of our own. And it’s not only better than the standard model, it’s less expensive to boot.<\/p>\n
