If the image of Subaru is that bad, why then are there more imho motor specialists for Subarus then most other makes?
Just my humble opinion. Oh and the ISDC as well :) |
It is precisely because these cars are icons, and have been for the last 10 years, that the chavs want them now, they can now afford to buy, if not run legally, earlier examples, in the same way that Sierra Cosworths were in their day.
The fact is that Scoobies are still desirable and turn heads, people look and kids wave and ask to have a look inside. How many other 20k cars can say that? By comparison the new crop of 'pocket rockets' are pretty transitory, and how many will still be produced in a couple of years time while the Scoobie continues on, just look at what happened to the Focus RS. like it or not this years new Scoobie will be be top of the chav list in 8-10 years, if you can't hack that thought then you have the wrong car!

JB I think the quote refers as much to the implications of a car becoming cheap in terms of the kind of punter that can afford it and the subsequent effect on the cars image, as it does the value of the car per se. Regards, |
