Interesting you mention that, Subaru have only released 3 official 'teaser' pics of the new Sti and the rear shot does seem to show dark rather than chrome tail lights on this version
Hopefully that is the case with the new Sti as it's the only part of it that most people seem to dislike, if so we're in for one really hot hatch, both looks and performance, with a very nice and highly featured interior too
