    ooooo new motor landed today with STi review on page 33, however its the jap 2.0 not our 2.5

    4/5 stars and an estimated 60K plus price

    "two specs, top end with BBS and Recaros":drool:

    BUT

    "Less grip, more expensive and muted steering"

    overall it seems that it's very similar to the old one...

    I think you'll find the ADM spec Sti will have a more compliant ride and will be faster than the old one...... Click here to enlarge

    The price hike is always a bummer Click here to enlarge

    Sure does depend on who's doing the review - read this one and they reckon it's the best Sti ever.....better in every way to the previous one and again it's the JDM 2.0ltr on test - hopefully our ADM and USDM Sti's will be as good !

    Not bad looking, great drive and handling, that excellent 3.0ltr TT engine that's good for 300kw and 500nm with a Xede - hell yes Click here to enlarge

    I doubt it though Bill, I think it'll be priced at around 90k at least here in Aust....

    Here's a good review vid on the new Sti - looks HOT in red Click here to enlarge

    Dam it looks great! The one there is the r spec. HAs leather and sweade with the bbs wheels. Hot!!!! $72000 is a bit much tho..
