Here are the first spy photos of the 2009 Subaru WRX STI. Caught lapping at the Nurburgring test track in Germany, this STI prototype reveals some of the subtle changes in store for this top-of-the-line Subaru WRX. Up front, a mesh grille replaces the egg crate design on the standard WRX while the deeper front air dam has ditched its fog lights and been given a larger center air intake.

In back, there's a bigger spoiler of course, but the STI also gets a
tough looking set of quad tailpipes. Also note the bulging wheel flares
that cover up what look like lightweight double spoke wheels. Subaru
has been tight lipped about exact horsepower numbers for the STI, but
we've been told to expect around 325 horses from its turbocharged flat
four when it goes on sale next year.

I likes that paint job. It matches mah bike.

It's exactly what I was hoping the STI would be.  God, I kinda want it.

Oh yeah.? Mazda3.?

Yep, certainly a resemblance, but that's where the similarities end.

It's a pretty strong resemblance, but I'm not saying it's a copy.
