Jap Blob launched Oct / Nov 2002.......... IIRC

Easy to work out what it is from the applied model code on the VIN plate

Subaru hjave always released the "next" model in the late months of the previous year so its not unusual to see a '52 plated 2003 model for example.........

makes no difference as to import or UK spec
