For **** sake! If only those with perfect grammar and syntax are allowed to post on here then this will soon be a very empty forum, with only the occasional clever dick dropping in to see if there's anyone to correct.
FFS. Give it a rest!

I used to be on this forum quite a bit a few years ago and returned recently as I am thinking of getting another subaru. I now remember why I stopped using it. It would appear the wife may be correct in some instances "skeets drive subarus" (not a complimentary comment).

Question
It seems a shame that the STI will be lost to us all. Will these still be made in Japan with the 2 litre engine? If so maybe someone like Ian Litchfield could help those that want the latest model.
Just a thought..

I'm gutted by this news, although I did predict it over 2 years ago.
I was lucky enough to own an Impreza Turbo from new - and kept the very same car for over 10 years ..... I never, ever, regretted that purchase - all £22,600 of it in the year 2000!!
It gave me 10 years of performance, 100% reliability, 100% fun and 100% it was a car in demand - the ultimate Cult car of the 90's and into the early 00's.
When it came to the point of change I desperately wanted Subaru to offer me the same mix of power and value ..... I took out a WRX-S and wanted to buy it, but it just looked like the cooking model - at silly high money.
I then took out the STi 330 for probably the most enjoyable 45minutes driving of my life - the Subaru dealer handed me the keys and let me get on with it ........ only when I saw the £33,000 price tag was the smile wiped from my face!
I went and bought a Honda Civic TypeS GT Diesel ...... for less than £18,000. It too delivers smiles - but, on an absolute bargain budget.
And that's it in a nutshell ....... price - value - desireability .... these were all wrong.
I can say that if that WRX-S had the STi Bodywork then I WOULD have bought it in a heartbeat, no question about it. As I said earlier, it just looked like the 1.5 - a marketing disaster for Subaru!
The WRX STi 330 needed to be £25,000 to fight off the competition .... it wasn't - so failed.
I am genuinely, honestly, disappointed that Subaru will no longer be offering a performance vehicle ........ sad, sad, sad day
That said, anyone fancy a 12 month old, 10,000 mile WRX STi 330 for £10,000? That's what they will have fallen to with this news ....... I may even buy one for weekend fun!!

Now be a good boy (girl?) and stop posting your irrelevant immature insulting drivel and return to the threads original subject matter please.
Now it's not just me who's asking, is it!
