I keep asking them that myself too (think they are getting fed up of me hassling them hehehe), last time was Wednesday, and the answer I keep getting is either no, or wait for the Geneva show. But from the sounds of it, it is only America that are getting the gold wheels on the 1st 1000 cars, not the UK.

Me personally would ask for Saturn black wheels as part of the deal. Don't get me wrong gold look nice with rally blue but I like to be different and not follow the crowd.

Finns swear by invoking devils, and when Tommi Makinen went off, he often said "Perkele".
So far as I know, he never explained the meaning of the word when asked on TV, so English speakers assumed that it'd be ruder to our ears than it is, though to Finnish ears the word does sound rude.

Still can't believe we are this close to the uk launch, and still the uk subaru website has nothing more than was on there 2 months ago.

Have Subaru not taken any lessons from the past few years. Marketing disaster and the good old EJ257. Plus I would be surprised if there isn't more disappointment to come.
On the plus side, I quite like the front end and the steering wheel.

Have to admit I prefer the dark grey/black wheels to the gold, just need confirmation of any power upgrade or any other options and may tempted to return to the fold later in the year.
congratulations to all who have secured first deliveries and look forward to reviews of the uk model

That'll be me then! Wahoo!
One thing that bothers me though. I wasn't given an options list when I ordered mine in January. Will mine be getting built now or what? Is it only the 2nd wave of orders that will get the options list?

Is it confirmed that the first batch has sold out?
If so when is the next expected batch due?
had a blue bug wrx then black hawk sti so back to the blue again if I take the plunge.

The marketting dept just can't get it right can they
Subaru need a Hugh overhaul from grass routes to sort the mess they have created and still they don't seem to listern
They should have a member if staff reading forums to see where they go wrong
Bad job of customers don't even though of they are not getting gold alloys ( which do make th car go faster) and tax bracket although I'm sure it will be the top one
If a member of Subaru uk had came in here and prehaps reassured people of a new engine or modifications do it wouldn't go pop
They could of also offered a 5year warrenty
Maybe subaru uk should get their act together and find out why their cars aren't really selling
Look back to 1999/2000 and the good old days

I doubt any will pay any interest until they sack off the ej25, for a new model.....
I don't want tweaks I want a new block, why or why they don't give us the Japanese one I,ll never know...
