Subaru killed the WRX STI in 2022, reportedly due to fast-shifting emissions regulations. Despite the company saying it wouldn't produce an STI-badged car based on the current-generation WRX, the car returned this year, albeit with a CVT, and only in Japan. There's still hope for the STI's return for the rest of the world, though you might not like the powertrain Subaru chooses.
