Cosworth STI behind the scenes :)
I am liking the performance as a standard offering and the look.
I mean 3.7 is quick.
I agree with some comments about the price though.
If I spent 15K on the Hawk I wonder what sort of performance could be achieved ?

Tis a nice car, no doubt will be blistering quick, but sorry if i had 50k to spend on a car, i would be looking elsewhere such as

best thing about it is a warranty. yes of course you could achieve similar performance from modifying a standard car but at the end of the day when it goes bang (which it will - knowing from experience) and when you get endless problems with it (again - knowing from experience) you'll end up paying the same anyway. 50k for this car is a steal, just like it was for the FQ400. That car would EAT a Spec C for breakfast, and did week on week at the posers cruises, and the STI cossie will do the same.
Yes for 6k more you could get a nismo but I have driven one of the new gtrs on road and a track (because I was a hare's whisker away from buying) and I found myself very intimidated. Now I have not yet been able to drive the cossie (but I am
) but I know that I would not be intimidated by it. SO there is the deal. Massive, fully achievable potential. Now if I have a car that has all that power I want to be able to fully use it and make sure it can do what it says on the tin. I just see this car as a fantastic deal. I missed getting an FQ400 and I promised myself back then that if subaru ever did the same I would not pass it up.

From: It's not a Scoob, or even a Skoda, but 200bhp is on the horizon..
