OK, I have it confirmed for my market which has been euro models. The thing is that colors are changing, but the dealers have no idea if the shape is going to be changing. They say that they have not been told anything about the shape changing at all. I figure one way to help find out is if the European market gets the same color changes as we have. Here's the new lineup for me.

Pure White 1E.........1.6 1.6TS 2.0GX 2.5RS WRX STi
Premium Silver M 1G...1.6 1.6TS 2.0GX 2.5RS WRX STi
Bright Red M 2G....... 2.5RS WRX
Reddish Blue M 3W.....1.6 1.6TS 2.0GX 2.5RS
Graphite Black M 8L... 1.6TS 2.0GX 2.5RS WRX STi
Dark Green M* 9W.......1.6 1.6TS 2.0GX 2.5RS WRX
WR Blue M 2C.......... WRX STi

*Dark Green starts production from December 11th.

Can somebody check with their nearby dealer to see if they can find out something on this? Maybe somebody whose ordered an 03? I'd appreciate it. BTW, I ordered graphite black, but I'm thinking maybe I should have done bright red. I dunno.

Wot no dark blue mica ???????

Nope, that's what I had on order until they confirmed that it would no longer be offered on the 20th. It took a few more days to get confirmation of these new colors. There is a french site that was linked on i-club showing the bright red mica. Not bad.

I wish there was an edit feature here, but oh well. Don't take this as absolute. Run to your dealer and ask about the color choices. See if they have a clue on wots offered or not. I'm VERY interested to know.

There is an edit function tic the pencil ICON

Phil ;)

oops, my bad. It was 3:48a.m. when I did that.

bump, please.

Nobody has made an order for a new one around here?

Dark Blue Mica was not available in the USA for MY02 Impreza.

These colours are not necessaraly the European colours.

In Central America, we typically get "euro" specs, colors, etc. I assume that you that San Jose, Costa Rica is in the U.S., but I'm farther south where North America gets really skinny (borders Panama on the south). So again, anybody order an 03 yet or even ask about them at your dealer?

just to let people know, I do have it confirmed now that we'll be getting "euro" spec as usual. That will mean that the above colors are extremely likely to be what you are getting as well.
