you can always paint or wrap the black cladding in the body color to make it look cleaner.
I still would take that black cladding over chrome strips/highlights any day.
Alleged new STI leaked by a magazine in Japan:
If this is how it's gonna look then big improvement over the WRX. The most important part is the rear bumper IMO, coz the fender cladding can probably be removed or painted body color. Also if that 400hp is real then that's going to be a huge gap in power between the WRX and STI. Will be interesting to see the engine teardown to know what's different. Baka naman super restricted lang by using a very small turbo but otherwise identical engine like with the 2.5li WRXs and STIs.
Hot dang! 400 hp? Awd? 4 door sedan?
Should be mega and mental!

IF it is really 400 hp....thats just insane. Thats AMG A45s territory!

while some owners are satisfied with the bragging rights,
some will be happy only when they effectively show its capabilities on public roades.
sigh.
Im more excited about what the aftermarket will do with the car. As is pa lang the car got great potential na. Even the wheel arches, Im sure Varis or some other Japanese tuner will make a wet/dry or even forged carbon fiber sub.
With the power naman kasi 300hp its good na. Di naman na maximize yun power, go straight lang naman and the feeling of being push back on acceleration, ok na.
A45 is a beast. Pero for potential Audi RS3 pa din, tuners have been getting those to 500+whp on stock internals.
As for the WRXs and STIs... I think madami naman EJ25s and EJ20s pushing 300whp. IMO those are probably about 350 to 380hp already at the crank, which isn't a lousy figure at all. A stock Audi RS3 (400hp) dynoes at around 350-360whp IIRC.
An STI is not a small car
This would be like an M340i xDrive for half the price. BMWs have better transmissions though for those who want an automatic.
