While the Japanese-market 2008 Subaru WRX STI has already made its world debut in Tokyo, we’re still waiting to see the U.S.-spec version – the one we’ll get stateside. But at least now we know when we’ll get our first glimpse.While we were in Las Vegas last week for SEMA, we spoke with a Subaru representative who confirmed that the 2008 WRX STI will in fact greet the world at this year’s LA Auto Show. As we reported earlier, the biggest change between the Japanese version and ours is in the engine bay. We’ll be getting a 2.5-liter horizontally-opposed four, while Japan’s STI makes do with a 2.0-liter unit of the same configuration. Expect a few trim changes too — we already know that the Japan-issue Recaro seats won’t be coming here – and of course, the steering wheel will be on the other side of the car.
