LA Show: 2008 Subaru Impreza WRX STi Starts At $34,995

If you take out a handful of global premiers like the Audi Cross Cabriolet and the Hyundai Genesis Coupe, this year’s LA Show was more like the North American Premiere & Price Announcements Show… Anyway, continuing our price briefing today, Subaru announced pricing on the 2008 Impreza WRX STI that’s powered in the U.S. by a turbocharged 2.5-liter boxer engine delivering 305 Hp. The STI will start at $34,995 (€23,900) and begin arriving in Subaru showrooms in early January. -Details after the jump
