I've seen 1 WRX, parked up as an advert at Prestwick airport near Ayr.

Plus a nice billboard ad: Subaglue.

Being better driven than a 20 something I'll wager!!

I doubt they are selling in such numbers that the effect will be seen until 18 months after launch?

I've seen a few. Although recent car tax and petrol increases doesn't help.

I've just got an 08 sti as well, and the posh scousers here in Wirral don't know what to make of it! Only the scooby heads seem to know what it is

I saw a white STi last weekend.
And I think that's the best colour choice, a lot nicer than the WR Blue i've seen.

But I still think they look crap.

Despite a lot of time behind the wheel I've still not seen one. But perhaps I'm just not noticing them as they're so bland looking.

The obvious reason they are not selling must be due to the looks

It all went down hill after the classic although I thought the hawkeye was ok.

Saw a white STI in Whitby last week.
Only 1 out of 43 kids noticed it....
O.K. so 23 of them were girls...

LOL

I saw two WRXs when I drove from St Helens to Norwich and back last weekend... Spotted them both coming towards and thought they looked ok, then we looked round and saw the back and burst out laughing

Not seen any on the road, not really surprising though, hardly a particularly desirable model.

Actually saw a black Sti yesterday. Still not my cup of tea and the front grill and lights are very soft looking. Looks better in the flesh than in pictures though thats not saying much.
