If they bring it over there itll be the new shape one, not the old one obviously...The old Sti was so much nicer looking and since it was lighter with the same motor it was also faster

Buying A CAR
Im buying a car in late 2002. Im willing to spend up to 30K. So i need info on when the Mitsubishi Evo Vii, Subaru Impreza WRXSTi, and Infiniti G35 are going to be released. So i can decide on what to buy. If anyone can help it would be appreciated. Also tell me what car u would get if u had to buy a car in late 2002 for right under 30k at most. Thanks!!

One quick question: Anyone know anything about a 2 door WRX or WRX STI coming to the US. Four doors is fine for me, but I've got a friend who apparently hates a 4 door car. Thanks.

They actually do make 2 door WRX's. They are called the 22b (not the spolier). STi makes them, and you can check them out. Just go to www.google.com and search for the 22b WRX.

True, and the 22B was the king of the Imprezas, but I think they were saying there is no coupe version of the new body style yet.

Well, I'm not talking about a special version, like the P1 or RB22 or anything like that, but don't they have 2 door STI's in the JDM? I could swear they do.

Buy a standard WRX and spend the difference modifying it to your specs instead of STi. You'll probably be much happier with the results. my .02

I think the SWRT car is a 4 door sedan...
Anyway, if you are talking about getting it before they are imported, you can join the military, get stationed in Yokohama, and then bring back any car you want as long as it is used. The military will clear you of customs and DMV is a breeze, plus they will ship it in a C-135 free of charge 
Or you can do it but pay a huge amount in import taxes, fees, DOT compliance and certification, DMV inspections. It would cost you a lot more by the time you are done with it.
The STi is comming, but not in full trim. The European trim was released and it put out around 260hp with all the goodies. The Japanese market also released a new NB-R model which has some STi goodies but without the STi badge.
I think we are most likely to get the NB-R rebadged as a STi to keep the cost low. It has around 250hp, AVCS, 4 piston brakes, 17 inch wheels and a more upgraded interior.
