Toronto, Ontario - Subaru Canada Inc. has announced that the all-new 2008 Impreza WRX STI will have a starting price of $44,995, which is $4,000 less than the previous STI model.

The new STI uses a turbocharged and intercooled 2.5-litre four-cylinder engine that produces 305 horsepower and 290 lb-ft of torque. Its Driver Control Centre Differential (DCCD), exclusive to the STI, now offers three selectable automatic performance modes, in addition to six manual differential-locking settings.

"With the STI's pricing as aggressive as its performance, we anticipate a lot of interest from driving enthusiasts," said Katsuhiro Yokoyama, president, chairman and CEO of Subaru Canada Inc. "This is an exceptional price for a high-performance vehicle with a rally-winning heritage and an engine, drivetrain, suspension and interior created exclusively for the 2008 Impreza WRX STI."

The WRX STI was named a Top Safety Pick by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety, and achieves stringent Bin 5 Tier 2 and LEV-2 California Tier 2 Bin 5 emissions certifications.

Send over the Focus RS. If people will pay for the Subaru, which won way back in the 90's, why not for the Focus RS?

Because, unlike Subaru, Ford treats the N.A. customers as sheeple and really doesn't seem to respect the wishes of their customers.

No, because it wont sell here. Not enough demand to justify it.
