Drove a wagon for the second time today and loved it even more than before. What a car! My dad has 2001 330i Sport and it's not half as fun to drive.

The salesman told me that the 280hp STi was coming to the US next spring. Is this a rumor/possibility or something that is definitely going to happen? I might just have to wait. Not the WRX isn't plenty quick, but that might be worth it. Anyone know Subaru's plans.

I definitely want to go with the UK model's 225/45 17's. Does anyone have the Subaru suspension upgrade? I'm not going to autocross or anything, is it worth the $1500 for a street only purposes?

Thanks.

suspension is over priced and the STI is still a rumor.
If u have some time, do a search for STI and u will see all the rumors that have been passed around.

I believe the UK tires are 215/45 17; while the STi tires are 225/45 17.

OK. 225s are closer diameter wise to the OEM tires. I saw that another member had put 225s on those UK wheels, so I assume they fit fine.
