Because the numbering was ONLY on JDM cars, a JDM 2003 car is somewhat different from a UK 2003 car, a JDM 2002 car is different to the UK 2002 car, so if you think that a MY02 UK car is an STI v7 then your wrong because its not the same as its japanese counter part, hence they stopped using the numbering

LOLBut do tottally agree with you
They cant seam to get it consistantly right either, as it's STi number is fabricated by them and not a design number used by SUBARU.Unfortunately it has become Common place for UK dealers etc to describe them as "STi8" "STi7" etc. which has passed onto the Market place. "if" buyers from dealerships are told by "Expert" salesmen that it is a STi8 model you can hardly blame them re-iterating the model number as STi8
IIRC IMHO
