Default GGB-The "New Age" WRX STi Sport Wagon

Anyone got any pics/link to one of these?

Are these the 'latest' (2010) UK model?

The only new age STI wagons they made were the MY01/02 cars and it was a JDM car only.
You get one or two floating around, very rare though.

I'm really missing the JDM ('car' not wagon) I sold last year, especially as my longer serving STi classic wagon has had a murmour or two the last few weeks...

Looks like finding a JDM wagon may be too tricky....

Default Update

I'm still looking but haven't come across one in the last couple of months

Does anyone own one, or know of one...?

I just don't think the WRX would compare too well against this, even the '270' as the New Age are heavy motors

Sounds interesting - auto box etc...

I have a MY96 V3 Sti Wagon I'm looking to upgrade. Thing is the drop in BHP with the added weight is difficult to swallow

If only the seats went down in the back of a 'car'

Is hard to find JDM WRX Wagon Bugeye and 4eat,you may find JDM STi faster than JDM WRX Wagon.
We are now little bit upgrading,but standard car is still good and very fast to drive on B-Roads or Motorways and if get car remapped you will find 280bhp is still enough,i would recommend have look elsewhere,but JDM WRX is good compromise(yes brakes are not good,but with good pads EBC Blue stuff NDX)
Autobox is good to drive at traffic and if you want drive and control gear change just switch to tiptronic mode + and -..

Well after half a dozen Scooby's of all ilks - classic lightweights to new age JDM's I settled on a Sti V3 Wagon as the most enjoyable of them all...

As these get longer in the tooth what can you replace them with??
