Many thanks to the gang at IWSTI for pointing us to a pair of reviews of the 2008 STi that is coming to the US - one from Edmunds and another from Motor Trend.
Motor Trend got a 0-60 time of 4.8s, and did the quarter in 13.4 at 100.5 mph. That's quicker than any recorded 0-60 magazine time for the 04 and 05 STi, and quicker than nearly any claimed 0-60 time on the 06, save that of Motor Trend itself, who as a result claims that the 08 is not as quick as the previous generation.
It sounds like the new STi is a bit softer (they get less raw and more refined each year, it seems) but is still a track-day improvement over previous editions.
