When the Jap car bubble bursts and things go back to normal, those who have paid well over the odds will wonder wtf has just happened to their prized asset!

What's the desirability of the Ferrari have to do with it. The fact is its brand-new and far superior to a Japanese tin can....

But the sort of person who buys a 100+ grand 22B also has a new Ferrari in his garage Jay...
The bubble for cars like the 22B won't burst, it'll only ever get better. Especially when they can be sent over to America and such like.

Surely there can only be a minority of people who would be willing to drop £100k+ on an Impreza which lets face it, isn't even the best of its breed! Reality has to kick in sooner of later, a reality that puts things into pricing perspective.....If not where does it end?

Did subaru actually win anything with the 22b? I see all the young un's lording over Colin McRae but I dont actually see why, he won 1 drivers title in all the time he drove for them, the same as Burns and Solberg.
What does the equivalent Evo of this generation go for? Are people paying 100k for a TME?
As a few have said, reality will set in eventually with the 22b

It's pretty obvious some people just don't understand how the market works.
You can't compare a TME with a 22B for a start - one is just a special edition of a mainstream model and the other has a completely be-spoke larger capacity engine and body shell.
There will never be a correction in the market for 22Bs - especially when they're 25 years old and the US can get their hands on them. They're absolutely iconic for a whole world-wide generation of petrolheads. Why some of you don't get that I have no idea.
It's not like the Ford RS scene - which is pretty much UK only and therefore limits the market. There are about 120 million people in Japan alone.
How many 22Bs left? 300 or just over probably. Not that many to go around across the whole globe.

The 22B was based on the 1997 Constructors Championship winning WRC car, so yes.
