Inside looks good, as for the rest well i'm not a fan yet.

SirFozzalot 23 October 2008 09:02 PM

:cool: Quite like the white.

juggers 23 October 2008 09:25 PM

They could of atleast tried ot make it better then the S204.

Boyakasha 23 October 2008 09:30 PM

I can't believe they used the same wheels as the old MY05-07 Spec C RAs, totally unoriginal.

As Juggers has said, S204 makes this look so dull. You would have thought they could have put a little more effort into the styling.

20 years and this is how they celebrate one of the greatest rally cars ever made. :(

Why, when they can sell these, then make an S205 and sell that. More sales is what they are after at the end of the day.

Making better version after better version is what STI does best.

They've yet to better the RA-R though.;)

Another special edition without a factory run number:(

Tart :p

And at least yours was the best looking as well.

juggers 23 October 2008 10:37 PM

My love for impreza's died with the hatchback i just hope they can produce something to reignite my fire.

Like you said they are yet to better the ra-r ,but i just don't think it's going to happen because the ra-r has the historical 4 door saloon status and that's what impreza's were all about imo.

In my heart of hearts i'm hoping that they will come out with a special saloon type Mcrae! How many of us would buy that then !!!!!

Janspeed 24 October 2008 12:37 AM

It looks ok, but makes me wonder, is it so hard to do something proper with the 08 model?

stilover 24 October 2008 11:36 AM

Still looks sh*te.

Special editions still won't be available in the UK.

I'd have bought an S204 if officially sold in the UK.

scooby L 24 October 2008 12:10 PM

I see a Red push button start and a slighly different head unit... otherwise a premium spec car with RA's and antiroll bars?

SC008Y_MAD 24 October 2008 12:42 PM

I agree with the sentiments above. White is the only thing that makes me like this hatch.

Just bring us the saloon sti, Subaru!

Tidgy 24 October 2008 01:05 PM

I'd noticed, I thought all JDM's were 2.0l :wonder:

Tidgy 24 October 2008 01:13 PM

thought nerw ones were 2.5? (i might be wrong)

Yes. Why is that funny? If it breaks, I want it repaired under warranty.

Also residual values. Imports always take more of a hit. Insurance too. Uk cars will be cheaper than imports.

JDM 2.0L

UK 2.5L

JDM cars use the 2.0 engine for homologation purposes for WRC, not to mention it's the stronger and better engine.

I think you'll find a JDM import will be the same price or even cheaper as some members have found to insure. And when it comes to Ltd Ed JDM cars like the S204, RA-R etc they will always fetch more than a UK car.

Importers like Litchfield and PCM offer a warranty on their cars so it's really a no brainer in my opinion when it comes to choosing a JDM over a UK car.

LitchfieldImports 24 October 2008 04:24 PM

I like it :) It's no different to STI bring out V-Limiteds to celebrate Rally wins as these only had slight changes.

The rear suspension arms look interesting :) STI had mentioned that there would be some subtle chassis changes. I expect these will filter across the different models over time just as before.

Its like trying to dress up a minger to look like a classy woman, it will always be mutton dressed as lamb in all formats.

Its the equivelant of trying to make a pig look like a racehorse.
