Allegedly there was an STi shell in Banbury in July.

But that's about as close as it gets.

Cheers Mark, so out of curiosity how did Gangsta see an STi then or was this another wet dream?
That aside, did anyone see Tiffs sparkling review last night on 5th Gear?
The non-turbo versions are hardly going to win many medals here. I would have thought that any decent programme producer would want to wait for the performance vehicle rather than take out a bog standard non turbo version just to claim bragging rights on the adverts "We have the new Subaru Impreza" but I suppose it made a few peeps like me tune in.

The shell IIRC was not actually an STi it was standard which was being worked on as the concept WRC Car

I am sure demonstrators/Press Cars will start towards the very end of the year early 2008 but won't be available to buy until March 2008

JDM's will start hitting the shores as soon as Model Reports are completed

Expect Mr Litchfield to be seeing them soon

Not so sure about the idea of a hot hatch, goes against everything a scooby should be. But I do like the silver monster earlier on in this thead!!!
