Dealers have had notification this week, apparently something to do with new homologation laws coming in to play next year. A certain ammount would have to be made and registered within a certain time limit, I believe that in the current climate the number was too high, sales of the car would be too much of an uncertainty, I believe it would have done well but I can understand with such mixed feeling its best to play it safe.

 

The reason I left Porsche, ignored Audi and came back to Subaru... £'s per bhp Subaru (and Mitzi) are still king, but anything over £35k they're never going to compete.

Part of owning a Subaru/Jap car is the many ways you can improve the power/handling from the standard car... It's false ecconomy really, we spend thousands upgrading wheels, tyres, exhausts, ecu's, turbo etc...but when someone asks "wow, quick subaru...how much was it?" you tell them your original purchase figure...lol

 

Thanks

 

When I picked up my 08 STI, the dealer said they had received a deposit for the 380bhp special that had been announced.

Didn't ask the price. However, I got the impression that the number of deposits would dictate whether they would be built.

 

i was told a 400 hp colin mcrae edition was in the pipe line for 40 k with anti lag launch control off the p2 that never went into production if its this car your talking about then YES put my name down

 

It sounds interesting with the prodrive built edition but how will it compare to the likes of the S205 and spec c edition? in terms of price and performance?

The spec C will be cheaper but will also have less power.

£40k is still to much though for the 380S

 

80% certain my next car will be a JDM Spec C.

Why only 80% there are rumours that the next UK special Edition could be produced from a Spec C.
