2006 New York Auto Show:
Subaru reveals 'low key' 2007 Impreza WRX STI Limited

New York, New York - Subaru unveiled the 2007 Impreza WRX STI Limited model at the New York International Auto Show. The 2007 STI Limited has a more low-key appearance: a new trunk-mounted lip spoiler replaces the standard model's large dual-plane rear spoiler, and the black aluminum roof vane spoiler is deleted. A new, deep front lip spoiler further distinguishes the WRX STI Limited from the standard model.

New Enkei wheels with high-luster paint replace the BBS wheels, keeping the same 17 x 8-in. size and 225/45 ZR17 Bridgestone Potenza RE070 directional performance tires. Behind the new wheels, black Brembo brake calipers with white lettering have a more reserved appearance than the gold and red-painted calipers on the standard WRX STI.

All WRX STI Limited models feature distinctive black gloss B-pillar paint and high luster paint for the exterior mirrors, and this special edition model includes standard fog lights.

Inside, the WRX STI Limited replaces the perforated blue high-grip Alcantara fabric seating surfaces with leather and new dark gray metallic bezels and interior trim. For the first time in a WRX STI, the performance-design front seats are heated, and the STI features its first-ever power glass moonroof.
