If the damage is to the front of a Subaru, it's most likely it's totalled because the Flat 4 calls for drive belts in the front, if anything such as the radiator/AC condenser pushes into the spinning belts... Gone! | most north south engine configs have belts on the front, and having stuff pushed into them, while isn't favorable, is no less favorable than any other part being damaged. If there is one reason to right it off, it would be severe drivetrain movement on impact. If the transmission isn't aligned correctly in relation to all the other components, an increase in wear can be expected, with the possibility of excessive noise.

i remember i was driving past there the other night and saw a bunch of chinese guys pulled over hanging around that area with their hazards on like something happened. but that was at night time. so i assume it can't be the same crash....but maybe...who knows right

Anyway back on topic.
Break in period, right off the lot, fresh tires, good day, dry road.
Nothing really gives away how he could've driven it off the road. Unless he was doing it purposely?
Since it happened infront of the Mitsubishi dealers, my guess is some Mitsubishi fan decided to destroy a Subie infront of their fellow comrads, and cheer about it.
I can see him saying "HAHAAH, STI...DEAD...NOW! EVO TAKE OVAAA!" and running away from the car afterwards.

The owner of the Subaru is an associate of mine and he diliberately crashed it because he's a big Evo fan and loathes everything Subaru.  | |

Poor STI | Well, generally believed/accepted reasons of what happened are:
1. speeding
2. stupid driver
3. new tires / new car
