Lots of minor changes that give a refreshed look.

Got it, yeah I see it. I like the subtle changes, a little more complex.

Hey all.

Got an email last night from SOA directly, with an improved and more definite delivery date (changed from "last week of June" to "on or before June 19"), as well as a VIN.

Sweet!

It's a WRX Limited in WRB.

Good luck to all.

Excellent choice. I regret exactly 0% of the decision to get ISM on my '14 hatch. Wax and seal it and it absolutely glows. It is also the right amount of anonymous to not draw a bunch of attention.

DGM was in my top 3 of color choices!!!!! I honestly like DGM a lot, but I feel like the accents and lines on the car "pop" a lot more with a lighter color. It was a tough choice

I would go someplace else.
Yup, I already did! I just ordered my 2018 WRB WRX STi with the wing from Gold Rush Subaru in California. Btw, Jerry is the man to go to, he gave me a really good deal and very good customer service.

Hey everyone, since I ordered my 2018 WRX STi, I just got an email from SOA, however in my email from SOA, it states that the model I ordered is a WRX, even though it's a WRX STi. Has anyone whose ordered a WRX STi got an email from SOA with "WRX STi" in the email or does it just say "WRX"?

Nice, I also bought from Jerry, would do again. Tried to buy my Colroado from them at their Chevy dealer, no luck. Too small a dealer to get the high demand diesel I was after. Bought from Platinum in Santa Rosa. Not as good as Jerry, but got a screaming deal delivered to Truckee.

Yeah I love DGM but that's why I like silver and white on the facelift. There are more accents and they really help show them off. With DGM it all blends in and looks meh.

DGM - Wingless

Default

I went with DGM because:

1) Third white and sick of it.

2) all the new dark plastic **** on the front and wanted it to blend better.

3) didn't want black due to maintenance

4) I dig the brakes with a dark color

And the wife thought white was immature for some reason(tell me how you really feel), but whatever... I opted for the wing delete.

Exactly why I ended up ordering w lighter color (white) 2018 WRX. After looking at DGM, silver and white 2018s at a dealer, I saw how the darker accents kind of just get lost in the DGM for the most part and pop so much more on the lighter colors. Before that, I was so sure I wanted DGM.

True, the brakes do look really good with a darker color

It will say WRX in your email from SOA, but your dealer can confirm the model code.

JUS - Base STI
JUV - Limited STI w/Wing
JUW - Limited STI w/Lip

I did a quick photoshop of the builder pictures to get an idea of what the STI looks like without the wing.

It looks so plain without the wing in pictures, but I feel like it's completely different in person.
