Subaru has confirmed that the STI-enhanced version of its new 2015 WRX will debut next week at the 2014 Detroit Auto Show. The new WRX STI will join the regular WRX in showrooms this spring, also as a 2015 model, and like the previous generation will build upon the regular car with stiffer suspension, increased output and more aggressive styling.
