Just got the e-mail today that my car was received by the dealership. It will be ready for pick-up early next week. As far as the dealers posting the factory orders on their site. My dealership never listed my car online and I checked regularly.

Congratulations, that is exciting news! I would probably run to the dealer just to see the car in existence out of sheer joy. I wish there was a closer monitoring status for these factory orders.

The current STI does have a TORSEN-type limited-slip differential (for sure) and it is, I believe, the same R180 that we are used to. Interestingly, Lapis blue is not a normal option on the Canadian site, although maybe you can still order it... In my case, I wrestled between WRB and white. Our '02 Bugeye (which we are keeping) is WRB, so I finally went with white. Last edited by 500_19B; 07-23-2021 at 11:06 AM. |

I ordered my 21 in mid March and received it the end of May. I also went with White! It's my first non black or grey car, and I'm very happy with it.

Lapis blue would have been my first choice next to Magnetite grey metallic. I should have asked prior to ordering. It would have matched my 4 other Sti's somewhat.

Welp
Well I called and emailed the dealer I was going to factory order from and no response, So I called the next closet dealer to do a factory order, and low and behold, they had the color I wanted coming in next month. It doesn't have one option I would have gotten (STS), and some that I wouldn't have (led dome lights are a waste IMHO), but instead of waiting until November, I only have to wait until the end of August and I am happy as a clam.

Don’t know if this will make you feel better but I originally had the sts in my build but changed it when I found out it only 10% difference from the stock unit. I’ve had kartboy shifters on all my subarus and have been very happy with them. |

I believe the 2015+STS has a 30% reduction in throw pitch compared to the 02-07 and 08-14 which was 10%. I may be wrong.
Short throw shifter, dome lights, spoilers on base models (in Canada) etc. are all added options the dealer installs. The cars are never built on the assembly line with out of model spec options (base, sport, sport tech). |

I’m good. The only reason I was going to get it was it was on my last one so I was used to it after years. I do find it interesting how each year they change what pop package 02 actually comes with. In 19 it was led dome, all weather, vortex gen, trunk film, and STS. Now it’s most of the same but removes STS and vortex gen and adds homelink mirror. Like oh what parts do we have left over from last year, okay that’s the package lol.

Get it without the STS and then buy the far superior Kartboy overpriced garbage. You'll be far happier with it.

Finally got mine today. Ordered March, got it in July.
I’d like to say it was worth the wait but man, I never want to wait like that ever again. Compared to my old 17 wrx, it’s just more lively feeling especially in the steering, braking, handling. Less torquey in the around town driving though. It’s great seeing that stupid wing in my mirror. More civil then my 12 340/380 wrx. Although that makes sense. Definitely more comfortable. I don’t think it’s worth comparing the two. |

I guess some tweaks here and there since 17 makes a slight difference. Never owned an STI myself so I only have my '19 WRX to compare. Only heard about how people talk about how WRX and STI cannot even compare and I am dying to see what it's like. |

Does anyone know if subaru will keep the current STI one more year as a MY 2022 before the redesign comes out?
My local dealers said after they sell their current inventory there will be no more sti until 2023. I am on the fence of trading up my current STi for one of the last EJs. But I can't imagine spending two to four thousand dollars above MSRP right now even with the high trade in offer. I find it hard to believe they wouldn't offer the current STI another year especially with subaru not coming out with a "final edition " send off EJ sti yet! |

But I just can't seem to get comfortable in them. Feel like they just lack support or something. I feel like they can't stand up to what this car can do. I'm actually going to pursue an avenue of replacement or upgrading them. I would think there's gotta be a company out there that could just take these seats and ...improve them. Anybody know if companies like this exist? Ugh |

And...
And btw...I guess everything has gotten a little crazy, in the car business, since this thread started or since I entered this thread and bought my new 2020 STi at the end of March. For me it was kind of a spur of the moment deal. Got my '20 at the end of 03/21 for $3700 below msrp (after $500 loyalty coupon).
Was browsing around recently. Seems like specialty cars like an STi are going for over, even well over msrp. Crazy |
