Default New STi - when's it due?

Putting aside the debate of how it looks, is there a firm release date yet (UK)?

Apologies if this has been covered before, couldn't find the answer.

Cheers

Cheers guys - don't think it's out yet per the Subaru site.

Not sure on the looks, but can't really judge until I see it in the flesh & give it a drive (+ didn't like the looks of the previous version much and I still bought one)

Got a call from Subaru marketing today. They said they had rung to apologise that the STI brochure would not be available for another three weeks

I asked a couple of questions about the new car and i received another apology because until the brochure and furher info was released they did not have the answers

What they did say was that there was an expected allocation of 1000 for 2008 and there was a great deal of interest (but no brochures)

My car has been on order since November and the delivery date was down for late March.

The car was launched at the Autosport show and i have to say it's a pretty big **** up to launch a car and not have a brochure until four weeks later

Sort it out Subaru UK

I got the brochure electronically from Subaru, and as said above test drive Feb, sales March, so I am led to believe by the salesman.
