I'd say the MY08 WRX appeals to a different market to the previous shape WRX's!(lets say people less interested in going fast, and more interested in boot space)... Which means less people modifying beyond the very basics..
Can tell you now that it is certainly not the bootspace as there is fuk all, I can't even fit the golf clubs in (pretty cut over that)

There are plenty of mods in the states just not here yet

what i dont understand is, if there increasing the power of the wrx MY09, there wont be much of a gap between it and the STI, so why would u pay an extra $15000-$20000 for an STI ????

Power is not the be all end all of motor vehicles!!

STI's have (deep breath) 6 speed manual with DCCD, bigger driveshafts, larger intercooler, different ECU tuning (and higher redline???), Brembo brakes, stiffer suspension, different seats, better front and rear differentials to name but a few. Well worth the extra coin as these are all features that some people would like to add to their 'normal' rexies.

In saying that damn near 200kw is quite stout for the new breed of WRX. Well done Subaru, now please bring a 300kw STI Spec C RA-R out, thankyou very much
