Subaru introduced two new unique trim packages for its popular Impreza WRX at the Los Angeles Auto Show: The luxury-lined Limited and the sport-oriented STI Special Edition.

The Limited adds a leather interior, power moonroof and Sirius Satellite Radio to the basic WRX Premium model. The company has not released pricing information.

The STI Special Edition features a suspension direct from the Japanese market WRX STI spec C, meaning it gets a thicker (by 1mm) rear stabilizer bar, stiffer rear subframe bushings and stiffer springs. The first 125 WRX Special Editions will be Aspen White with 18-inch 14-spoke wheels also from the Japanese STI spec C. After those cars are produced, the Special Edition will be offered as a regular model in the Subaru lineup and will be available in a variety of colors.

The Special Edition also decontents the regular WRX STI in a few ways: HID headlamps give way to halogen bulbs, manual air conditioning takes over for automatic climate control, a basic four-speaker CD stereo comes standard rather than the 10-speaker CD changer unit and body color side mirrors replace light weight units.
