:D They do look a bit fugly though, and are common. Shame.

it wont be a classic for that reason, they are common and are still being made, improved even.

pmsl was expecting at least 2 dozen threads ;)
Si (+classic car :D lol)

They will be classic for the following reasons:

1). they are now getting cheap which means 17yr old boy racers will get hold of them and up the boost and make no other changes, KABOOM, scrap heap, numbers WILL drop on the "classic" model, i'm sure!

2). its an interesting car, people ALWAYS ask about it!

3). It has a rally pedigree

How long we wait is another matter, but for most car enthusiasts and the general public it is a car not to be underestimated!

the 22b type uk is common then????

I'm with CHRIS_D on this, come on guys lets petition and email Topgear to put this car in the place where it deserves... A classic!!


MM

hey if this petition goes through i will support, i was behind jeremy all the way, and that guy with the glasses sheesh, uses jeremys own joke against him, lol

ScoobyDoo69

Shame, that guy never had his own opinion, just something he heard said before. Then try and look like he had an opinion, but was shot down:D.

simb

UHF

Rally car - exactly, thanks to Mr McRae it has pedigree, just like the Audi Quatro, escort etc etc.

The impreza was the performance car of the 90's

How can a bluebird be a classic and an impreza crock.

Why not put the idiot in the passenger seat and let solberg give him a demo.

Me think he would change trousers.

How can they sat the're common? Ford & Vauxhall make and sell more cars in a week than Subaru do in a year!!

ok enough complaining, and time for some action, Already sent my views.

Itll be a classic because its always fresh in peoples minds, be it because they are common or not.

I've left feedback, I say if they dont get it put back that we should organise a MASS meet outside the studios and cause utter chaos :) Or somehow get onto the track and cover it with hundreds of scoobs from SN :)

the funny thing is do you really think having a couple of million emails will convince the beeb there aint loads of em ie common. Dont see how you can say they aint common but it still a lurvly sight & car.
By the topgear spec for being a classic there is no doubt they fail on the rare factor, unless yer being pedantic sayin 22b m8 ;) lol, but yes defo succeed on the interest factor no doubt about that & as for beauty IMO they are lush but dont think i'd describe them as beautiful they are more butch init.
So i'd say tiz all good but will make for an amusing thread no doubt ;)
out of interest anyone managed to get classic car insurance policy on older scoobs yet?
Si

I know what a prick

To be honest, I watch TG these days for a laugh.

I don't take their opinions on cars too seriously anymore.

:D

Especially after what they said about the Impreza being CROCK instead of a CLASSIC!

Interesting battle between the old and new cars though. See the Turbos kick in on the 300ZX, and it was bye bye 350Z! :D

And the Escort Cossie against the FRS was a foregone conclusion anyway.

Scoobs may be commonplace now but I will challenge anyone to find an unmolested, low mileage classic shape impreza in 10 years time!

Apart from the one that'll be in my garage of course:)

May be common but the performance and handlings spot on!

Maybe crock but that shows it has teeeeeeeeth ;)

:p you can take the muppet out of muppets....

I actually liked that episode, and there are no "T&C" that say they have to be fair, balanced, boring.

In 10 years time we might actually agree :D

Apart from that, it's cool to own a crock ;)

keep sending the emails.at worst it will give them loadsa work to do and we will get a mention next week ;)

Who cares!!

Classic Impreza is no more a classic car than early Evos. As long as the newer ones are quicker and nimbler then there's no defence for last years model.

Most early STi perhaps. 22B definately. Regular Joe Public Turbo, nope.

quote from the back of EVO magazine "destined for classic status" looks like we arent the only ones who think it

Jeremy Clarkson ......... Good Guy

Richard Hammond ......... Good Guy

James May ............... W*nk

Cheers Grunt

e mail sent to top gear.

Think about 500 scoobs should turn up to the studio and put them right.

Or should that be 500 nissan bluebirds!


Keep sending the e mails

500 should turn up and convince them its a rare car?

No Ian, thousands LOL [:D]
