Don't be a tit the colour is terrific. Its a Subaru special edition and thats all that matters. Stop acting like little girls who love the colour of a car and appreciate it for what it is: the best and fastest UK official Impreza to date. The RB5 was grey, I don't remember anyone complaining about that. Anyone who buys a car for its colour must be a ******.

Speaking to Iain Litchfield, you can get an JDM WR1 equivalent (not sure if that is the Solberg) (DOH !! just saw edcases post ) in a wider range of colours.. ..just the UK market gets the whole choice of 1 imposed on it.

No beef about it, just what i have been informed

Cheers

Jim

heh, ****, people are allowed their opinions, and generally it seems that although not many people actually dislike it, it does seem a very strange choice. It needed to stand out/be different sure, but it seems a bit diluted, a bit wishy washy. As you say it won't stop the guys with the wad buying one but I'm sure no one would actually pick that colour if there was a choice.

The rest of the EU market is getting the same base car. Without PPP, Prodrive wheels, grilles, springs.

That is available in, WRBlue, Solid Red and this Ice Blue.

It's a shame IM didn't ask consumers which they'd prefer.

The red looks awesome in the flesh.

Thumbs down

Great car , Daft colour, although probably easier to keep looking clean than some.
Should have been WR Blue IMHO

But hey one could get used to it I suppose.........
