I would say that he took into consideration both Taniguchi's and Orido's arguments. He agreed the tire choice from the factory for the A45 was not as effective as the STi, but he also considered the performance they both gave, as well as the quality and characteristics of the cars. If you watch Orido's scoring he says the STi out-scored the A45 mostly because it's excellent bang for buck. You get 6 pots up front and supremely designed suspension and chassis along with a good tire choice from the factory, while the A45 was an overall more accommodating vehicle, with performance to match, but costs 3 million yen more, which isn't chump change. Tsuchiya basically said performance wise they're basically identical, but it just depends how much you want to spend and what you expect out of the car. You can either say the STi is better because it's nearly as performant as the A45 for 3 million yen less (nearly 30k USD) or you can say the A45 is the more complete package because you get the performance of a STi (which is an excellent bar to set for yourself) but you still maintain the luxury fittings and ride quality. The A45 they just released here in the U.S.A. could arguably have another leg up due to the A series Mercs having the newer MBUX system, which is one of the most advanced vehicle management/interactive systems in production, which pushes the technology gap between the two even further. But, you're going to pay some $$$$ for that tech. Overall, I'd say this is the most balanced race I've seen in this series aside from the Amuse S2k and the other one (I forgot the tuner's name, but it was several years back. An absolute epic battle that I think remains unresolved to this day).
Japanese people are honest and professional, even though their own country's car has lost to the german they proceeded to showcase that, to the finest detail. Love this show and the people!
Thanks for the english subtitles. I really enjoy hearing these guy's opinions about the STI. Apparently they also agree that the STI needs more power to stay competitive.
300 HP for a daily street car is MORE than enough. I have this car and I do not understand why anyone would need to mod this to make more unless you're racing it on the weekends.
@@hybridShinx With everyone wanting "performance" SUVs it doesn't make sense to compete in the Sedan market anymore. It's a shame that the racing spirit is lost in cars nowadays. In favor of huge mommy cars with 300+ hp but no cornering ability.

I expected new technology to give lighter, more fun sports cars. But instead we have heavier, more powerful and bloated cars thanks to pedestrian protection laws.
Would be interesting to see a modified WRX STI with similar power up against the A45 or any other AWD German competitors. In the UK motoring journalists have mostly written off the WRX STI as being underpowered and old fashioned compared to rivals. Subaru have given up selling it in the UK, probably due to massive popularity of German rivals here. It is well established the limits of the EJ207 so would be good to see if the chassis, drivetrain and electronics etc can compare when given a comparable amount of power. I wonder if perhaps the questionable reliability of the EJ held them back from putting more power in to it? Unfortauntely it feels that without a WRC car feeding the development the raw rally motorsports soul of it just isn't there and it can't compete in the days of sophisticated dual clutch gearboxes and electronics alongside strict emissions regulations etc. Hopefully the WRX STI doesn't go the way of the Evo but certainly seems that way, at least outside of Japan. Perhaps they are still selling well there? I hope so.
What cars are you referring to in that segment against the WRX? Here in the states the only other options are a Golf R (more expensive) and the Focus ST (not as good)
the sti is still a powerful car keeping it close to amg power. another 3 grand spent on bumping subaru power to 360ps would have made a world of difference.
Interesting. In the US, we would never compare these 2 because the STI is the fun manual sports car while the A45 AMG, well that's not really popular and being auto most car guys don't even care about it but it's great seeing it get attention in this video!
If you know how to drive manual and are proficient it's VERY difficult to want an automatic sports car. Takes away a lot of the skill and thrill of driving a sports car. Faster doesn't mean better nowadays when you're comparing 0.2 second differences in 0-60 times.
I have lots of expectations from the FA24 engine - but Subaru needs to do is to develop a 3 to 3.5 L flat 6 engine for the STI. Something like a FA35 flat 6 would just turn the tables for the STI.
Subaru needs to push their risk curve and do some bold and out of the boundary stuff to revive the brand. (or is it the STI that need to man-up and fight against their finance department?)
Don't hate car manufacturers for that. They are pushed around by millions of regulations, especially regarding safety. Not that its a bad thing to care about safety but its not their fault the shapes of the cars are so similar.
subaru must be an ej207 = red line 8,000 rpm = i just brought a ej207 RA spec C short block ! brand new - oh boy just wait. a nice road test and if subaru could get a 7 speed semi automatic transmission = now that would be fantastic with paddle shift on sti models !

ランエボが消滅してライバルが無いWRXじゃ張り合いが無いのかもね

元々、WRカーのレギュレーションが日本車潰しのルールとも言われています。そこに排ガス規制が駄目押しな上に車嫌いの益子前社長の舵取りによるランエボ終了も有ります。対する外車勢はイメージリーダーが必要と言う考え方が有るためスポーツモデルは必需品と言う考え方が有ります。但し、日本車と違い生活四駆が無いのでその分コストが上がり更にスペックが過剰になる傾向が有るので車両価格は高く手軽さは有りません。

ドイツ車の前提は高速安定性、乗員保護を基本としている車作りなのでエンジン等関係なく元々コストがかかり、重量もかさむのだと感じます。
ドイツ車を安くするとしたらオペルのように内装を変装にするしかないのです。
日本車も安全性第一なのは同じです。でなければ欧州では戦えません。同じ安全性を出しながらも、軽量化も出来ている車があればそれもまた凄いことです。特にスバルやホンダ(両社共に定評のあったセダンの販売は辞めてしまいましたが)などの安全性は数十年前からヨーロッパではお墨付きでもあります。
価格は、アウディ車が高額なのに殆ど一緒のフォルクスワーゲンがリーズナブルというのと似ていて、大半は高級とされるメーカー及びブランドのステータスフィーかと。
メルセデスベンツに至ってはフェラーリとまでは行きませんが、F1に参戦し続けている事もあるのか高額でも収益を維持できるのも一例として考えられる気がします。
