The last time a U.S.-bound Subaru wore the STI badge was in 2021. Yet, that hasn’t stopped Subaru from releasing all manner of WRX trims and “engineering exercises” that get close but never go full STI. And the latest tease is the WRX tS Spec B.
News from Australia (h/t to Carscoops) is that the newest WRX to hit the market is not unlike our version but with one big extra. Namely, the Aussie tS Spec B receives a massive rear wing. The Spec B also adds a six-speed manual for the region, whereas the regular tS comes with a CVT. Stateside, the WRX tS is solely a stick shift. Whew. But, we also only get the WRX sedan while Australia and other markets can opt for a WRX Sportswagon. Sigh.
