They sent a letter to Autocar this week correcting the price of the UK300 from 2 weeks ago - which is fair. But they included in the letter 'The UK300, for which demand exceeds supply, is...'

That would make a change, considering they still havent sold all their P1s for christ sake !

Nothing new here - they've been cocky for a long time!!

They are probably right - they can probably supply like one a month or something and they are probably selling 2 a month....

Just do a quick search on Autotrader to see just how many P1's are out there.

There are a lot of unregistered P1's and UK300's as people are waiting for 1st of September. Each dealer got a fairly small allocation of UK300's. My local dealer got 7, and has sold 6. Even after the RB5 was launched and with waiting lists at 9 months for std cars, I ordered mine 2 months after it was announced.

However the UK300 is still an overpriced WRX.

I agree with JJamess, what company can afford to turn customers away in the car market! Misubishi have sucessfully turned import owners into customers, while I have never set foot in a Subaru Uk dealership. Its about time IM changed leadership and its policy towards import owners, before Subaru changes it importer.
