As the title says - heard this from my local dealer today. Anyone else heard similar? And the bug eyes are definitely on the way out.....

It's probably true, the 6 speed would be a natural progression, now the STi boys have road tested it for us
as for your wagon, just think of it as a limited addition

Keeping me on the old tootsies here Yoza..... I think it's just a cosmetic revamp (apart from the 'box). Hence, no significant sheet metal changes. As per the Classic, in the early days.....

Ill bet on just the front end......
cosmetics for an easy fix and a boost in sales.
There you go,from some one who works in the industrie
Quick simple third party mods,plastics lights etc.
Deffo no new panel tooling its not the done thing on a new(12mnth)
model release.
The 6 speed box theyve already got,no big deal....just get the stacker to pick up a different box

Typical mass produced built in obsolescence tactics. No surprise there then.....

If they could play around with the bonnet and grill that would give them quite a bit of flexibility with regards to the shape of the light units.

So Yoza - what's the definition of 'mass produced'? And do you still not like the X-Type, Mate?

How long would it take POC to come up with a rumour? And would it have Evo written on it?

Umm a year old rumour, sorry no that doesn't interest me.
Harry, with regards to the bonnet change, hold on I'll just get my scooby scrap book out from under my anorak
