One particular area of interest is the front end. It features a controversial three part grill, a design we first saw from Subaru on their 2003 Subaru B11S Concept. Whether or not the new face and hood-top character lines gel with the rest of the car remains for the viewer to decide. In either case, Subaru have really upped the ante against the very evolutionary Mitsubishi Lancer IX.<\/p>\n<p>The 300-horsepower Impreza WRX STI gains a further edge in all-wheel drive performance for 2006. The power distribution ratio in its advanced Driver Controlled Center Differential (DCCD) version of Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive has been changed from 35:65 to 41:59 and uses a new mechanical limited slip center differential in place of the previous hydraulically controlled unit. The addition of a steering sensor to the differential\u2019s control inputs further enhances torque transfer and overall performance of the AWD system.<\/p>\n<p>The WRX STI accents the Impreza re-style with new design features of its own. A new roof vane spoiler, as used on the Impreza WRC rally car, contributes to stability at track speeds. The new rear underbody diffuser and new side sill spoiler design ensure the WRX STI will turn heads while cheating the wind. The lower-profile hood scoop from the standard WRX aids forward visibility but maintains airflow to the intercooler due to the improved aerodynamics of the redesigned front-end. The WRX STI also gains daytime running lights (DRL).<\/p>\n<figure class='gallery-item'>\r\n            <div class='gallery-icon landscape'>\r\n                <a
