White it is fun to see La Ferraris and McLaren P-Ones on display, real world performance cars with real world prices can be even more exciting.
For many of us, cars like Mitsubishi Lancer EVO or Subaru WRX STi represent a very tangible dream of performance car ownership.
2014/2015 WRX STi is all-new and back to it's sedan roots. However, the structural formula is nothing new at all. It is four wheel drive with a 2 liter boxer four cylinder turbo engine.
Despite being a new engine with an array of new technologies, it still produces around 300 horsepower. It will take months for established Subaru tuners to gauge the tunability and performance headroom in this new boxer four. It is, of course, natural to expect nothing but improvements.
While the body is all-new and seandan-only for the STi, it would be quite a stretch to call it "exciting design".
To me it looks rather bland. If cars were living organisms with DNA pairs, you could achieve a similar design by simply mating a Honda Civic sedan with an EVO X.
