Just heard from a reliable source that the reskinned WRX will get slightly redesigned lights from the new Vectra.

Apparantly they can be picked up for next to nothing from the GM parts bin.

Unless you are prepared to post reliable and sensible threads I suggest you go to your nearest Toys R Us for a few Tonka toys to play with......Blutes

Yep seen one of these being tested on the M3, it uses a back-to-front Reliant Robin chassis so that the single wheel is at the rear.

Unlike previous Imprezas understeer is totally eliminated by steering the rear wheel.

All finished off with the new sublime flat 3 motor.

Muppet response for a muppet thread...

Whilst I personally don't beleive there will be a face lift as sales are very strong in the States where they buy far more, the idea that parts may derive from GM should not be dismissed as GM have a stake in Fuji Heavy Industries.
