Fans of Subaru's with a bit of attitude should be pretty happy to see this day come. Subaru will be expanding its line of STI-branded vehicles to the Forester in short order. We know this because the Japanese auto builder known for its rally cars has sent us a first glimpse of the all-new 'boob.
As of now details remain slim; however, if the WRX STI is any indication, the car will feature a power bump, large diameter wheels and tires, a big brake kit, significant suspension upgrades, and an upgraded interior.
All told, we expect Subaru to present a pretty formidable package that will have buyers looking for this über niche vehicle jumping for joy.
Though it may seem silly, I have seen quite a few Foresters with extensive modifications to make them handle better and accelerate with some gusto. Will it sell in massive volumes? I don't think so, but that's never been Subaru's modus operandi anyhow.
Look for the Forester STI to debut on November 25.
