Forgot to mention that Prodrive has been hired by Subaru to restyle the current WRX.

Why would I choose a STi over an Evolution? Personal choice and preference I would say. The trim finish of a STi is so much better than an Evolution GSR/RS whatever which is more similar like an Integra Type R ... all stripped down to the bare necessities which contributes to alot of fast times. I don't enjoy cars that are so race prepared because that's not what I want the car for. Hell besides, the interior of an Evolution is so identical to a Lancer or Cedia for the VII and that is one of the worse cabin looks, design and feel I can visualize while an STi is finished off with alot more detailed and better product quality and finish.

Most Type-RA's never make it to the road. They (ought?) to end up being further stripped out, roll caged and entered into production class rallys.

The Type-RA is equivalent in intent to the EVO RS (RS=Rally Spec). EVO RS in the UK come with the standard Lancer seats and no air/con, ABS etc. This is due to most of the customers ripping out the interior anyway.

The Spec C RA is so new, I don't even see any reviews in magazines and neither online on it as yet so it can't be possible that BM grabs the first chance to do so. Nevertheless, the car is very distinctive which only comes in white, no spoiler, smaller BBS rims and no fog lights as well.
You're right... it's the simple RA(?)... it still has spoilers and 17" wheels... it's white making

I wouldn't buy a Type RA or an RS spec simply because there is nothing much left in comfort terms though performance is great but I'm not that hardcore as yet. I was comparing a GSR vs an STi ... Both are considered upclass trim and have most options? But the GSR still spots a heavy lancer feel but the STi is somewhat way upclass compared to a standard rex.
