Making a Sti, with carbon roof, 5speed AUTOMATIC!!!!!:lame::lame:

so lighter, but sst auto tranny.......looses the name of the STi without the infamous 6 speed IMO.

i see that they want fast shifts with a lighter car to possibly get faster track times but, i disagree with this whole setup of the carbon sti debuting in Japan soon.

I saw this too - it looked okay right up until I read it was only available in an auto :(

I'm still adjusting to the STi only being a hatchback...
