"Under the hood, expect the output of the turbocharged, intercooled and otherwise epic 2.0 liter, DOHC, 16-valve 4G63 four to increase from the MR's 276 hp (on at least one of the various models) past the 300-hp barrier to something around 310-315 ponies."

If it is basically an MR+, whats to say it isn't going to start out at $35k??

Kinda interesting that he doesn't heal-toe when downshifting rather he feathers the clutch to smoothly engage it without looking the diffs. Peter Solberg also didn't heal-toe when he did his Touge attack in BMI using an Impreza Spec C. Great videos and a great find!
he use left foot break thus heal and toe is not needed

If you see some of the higher-res pics I think the IC is the same. The opening is smaller, however, blocking the end tanks and therefore making the IC look blockier. I admit I like the new front, but aftermarket IC upgrades would appear to have some problems with this new bumper design...
