The 2015 WRX STI

Monday brought the unveiling of the new 2015 WRX STI and many racer-boys’ hearts beat more quickly. But be aware that only 1,000 of the blue paint, gold BBS forged alloy rims, and giant-winged STI limited Launch Edition beauties are available.

Looks aren’t all that matters, however, when…
