Default 2020 STI Platform

Does anyone knows what is the name of the 2020 STI platform. I owned an evo8 before and that platform was called CT9A. I sold that car and bought my STI. I’d like to dress up my car with its platform name but I have no idea what it is. Please advise.

In my opinion both cars are fun to drive. My evo was a 2003 model and my STI is a 2020 so there’s obviously no comparison here. STI wins lol. I missed my evo so much that I had to get a fast fun car to drive lol. Since owing my evo for 17 years with absolutely no complains against Mitsubishi lol but the fact they don’t make them anymore that pushed me to the Subaru platform and I don’t regret it.

I looked it up and you were not wrong at all. It looks like they have three different platforms depending on the engine:
VAB - WRX & STI w/EJ20
VAG - WRX S4 w/FA20
VAF - WRX & STI w/EJ25

I got involved with one of those website they actually use the VAF and VAB codes and it looks like we have a winner. VAB it is. Thanks
