the 09 wrx gets the first boost in power since 2002. 265 hp with larger turbo revalved shocks and stiffer springs It’s funny what the littlest of exterior changes make or break a car. ![http://a332.g.akamai.net/f/332/936/12h/www.edmunds.com//media/il/news/2008/0730/3.2009.impreza.wrx.4dr.500.jpg](http://a332.g.akamai.net/f/332/936/12h/www.edmunds.com//media/il/news/2008/0730/3.2009.impreza.wrx.4dr.500.jpg) heres a nice vid of travis and kenny having some fun in the 09’s ---

I can barely tell the WRX from the STI. But, if they make an STI Sedan… I may just trade in the speed6… 🙂 What is the black one in the pic above? ---

The sti has much wider fenders… same scoop and rear end though. the above pic is a 2009 wrx sedan. Teh only diff between that and the 08 is dark wheels and full aero kit and a diff grill. ---

Teh only diff between that and the 08 is dark wheels and full aero kit and a diff grill. the rear is not the same - at least the rear diffuser is certainly different, the rear bumper is not the same either. Over all they are very similar however there is subtle differences all over the place looks wise. ---

Over all they are very similar however there is subtle differences all over the place looks wise. yeah, that was kind of a dumb thing to say… wrx wagon is single outlet, sti is quad outlet. but the 09’ wagons Do come with the sti wing, which looks awesome. ---

Looks good in the picture not so much in the video. So it’s $2000 cheaper than the lancer raliart and 30hp more. ---
