Default STI COSWRTH??????

Whos got one ? theres none in the members gallery and am sure one member on here had bought one. There are 75 and not one has poped up on here which is a little odd I would of thought the majority of buyers who be SN members

Are there any S'net members out there ?

95% of owners probably don't know, or care about S'net.

IMHO

P.S. People that wealthy will have their butlers look on the web for help... LOL

You think? I would of thought that most impreza owners are true enthusiast's who appreciate the historic rally pedgree.

I can only see a subaru nut paying 50k for the STI cossi.

I had one ordered and Paid for.

Then saw sense and decided against it. Transferred balance/deposit to a Sti Hatch and also then a Hawk as a project instead

Blimey your the only person I thought had bought one. Evo Magazine were supposed to review my R205 against one ,but Subaru won't even supply the press car anymore due to some changes to the car

Mine would have been delivered on about a week ago.....

Guy at Scoob Garage said a whole load of people had pulled out. When I did there was only about 27 on the list of sold. (obv 26 after I stopped).

A great advert for Subaru. £50K for a car with a lower interior spec than a 330s that was £30K, God knows how many months late and not even the current shape! It's old before it was new!

sounds a much better plan, i looked into the idea but went for the project idea and a more normal car should end up with two better cars.

Doubt that they'll be bought by SNetters ... we're all chavs after all so can't afford it + we know that it's not great VFM!

Good point!
I'm guessing (pretty sure) that there'll be a MY11 STi Cosworth saloon.....soon.....With unsold STi Hatch Cosworth's out there!
Unless they are all sold?!?

They were all sold and the first one in the uk was going to be shown at the Nbo end of June
I had a call on the friday to saynit would not be ready in time
Subaru uk have rang me a couple of times lately asking if I want one NO

The magic has gone
I would imagine everyone would cancel after expecting delivery end of june and now it's nearly Xmas
Total ***** up for subaru and
75 lost sales ..not good and with the sti in plasma blue at 34k I know what I would spend my money on as long as the rear spoilee is fitted

Subaru cosworth the magic and moment has gone now

exactly and everyone knows remapped diesel scooby is faster,my murtaya cost me less than cosworth and that is saying something lol
it has a very limited warranty and is now an out of date model just like 22b but much more unlikely to hold same interest-real shame

I've had a few e-mails plugging the Cosworth special edition, saying that there was only a couple left...

MSN Cars have put up a 5 star review, so maybe they've got a tweaked version ?
They did say there's nothing before 3k, and the big shove is over by 5.5k; which seems a bit of a cheek, really.

I'd personally wait to see what the mk3 Type-25 is like, if I wanted a new hatch, and had that kind of money to spend.

Mine spools around 4K and wallop to the red-line...

But that is generally what a special edition IS, not always, but a lot of the time

The CS400 has been a marketing disaster. Another lesson from Subaru i am afraid as to how to lose customers

I did seriously consider one, but decided against it when I realised I was £36k short.

Would he be kind enough to donate his car to EVO mag for the day to pitch it up against a spec c R205. It really is a great day out with the lads t evo ever so welcoming and entertaining.
