This may be of interest to some. I agree its ugly but talking to people about it that arnt die hard Subaru fans they seem to like it on the whole - not all Grandads like me either.

Nothing much new on there though.

The Price is just under 60K plus on roads

Official Subaru Australia pricing for the new STi released - http://www.subaru.com.au/about-subar...ing-announced/

Base STi = $59,990 + ORC
R-Spec = $64,990 + ORC

Possibly the most under-driven Evo X in the world??

Base STI is up $2,000 from the previous model.

$5,000 extra for Rims & Seats may not be worth it

bigger better rims and recaros would def be the go even if you are paying an extra $5K imo as ugly betty needs all the help it can get.

Rims are the same size, just lighter (about 3kg) and uglier than the std STi ones. Recaros are definitely very sexy tho...

I am pretty sure that the 08 WRX STI I test drove had 18's on it and as said the Recaros are very nice indeed.

Both the BBS and standard rims are 18's Dave.

"Standard" spec STi and Spec-R STi both have 18 x 8.5 rims. Spec R are BBS with many spokes and are lighter. Standard STi are Subaru (possibly Enkei) five spokes and are heavier (but IMO, better looking).
MY08 WRX rims are probably 18 x 7.5.
