I would expect MUCH MORE for an aniversary edition. This is pretty plain, and only 300? That's really rare. Subie has done OUTRAGEOUS spec-C cars in ORANGE! If you're going to do only 300 cars you can get away with something CRAZY-WILD. This car doesn't look like any type of celebration to me.

uhh.... the impreza has NOT been out for 20 years, definately not for the wrx nor wrx sti either... the very first impreza showed up in showrooms in the middle of 1992, that is NOT 20 years ago... you're making me look old!

now, STI as a brand itself came out in 1988 and that itself IS 20 years ago

so be specific as this is already confusing to most americans who automatically relate "STI" to the super version of the impreza instead of being a performance tuner brand that actually has real upgrade parts and also other models such as the legacy sti or pleo sti (neither available outside of japan)
