Strange as I didn't think it should have blue dials or blue carpet.

What aren't you convinced about? It looks OK to me - the Euro STI has always had a blue interior and the '05 JDM car does too. It's just the WR1 and Spec C that are grey.

Looks like a USDM 05STi interior to me - check the seat side bolsters, much less vertical than the European and Japanese STi seats. That's to take the larger backsides of our American friends, I presume.

I saw one of these at Powerstation in Cheltenham yesterday - they were converting it to a Type 25 for a customer in the Ukraine.

Seats look the same to me - I thought the whole world got the same wider seats when the US car was released. The first UK STIs definitely had narrower and (IMHO, speaking as a skinny bloke), more comfortable ones.

Also the pics I've seen of the US car have a little blue sticker by the DCCD controls showing the gearshift pattern (for those with a very short memory or weak deductive powers, I guess) - and the CH4 site shows the same interior shot along with lots of exterior shots of a car with European plates.

I had the chance to compare an 05 USDM Sti, an 03 STi Type UK, and an 04 JDM Sti all side-by-side. My 03 UK had the same seats as the 04 JDM - while the 05 USDM had the LA (Large A**e) seats. So either the US ones all have wider seats (which I was also told by the Powerstation guys is the case), or they've all changed for 05 (in which case I'm glad I have the older model - I hate wide seats!).

Anyone out there with a UK-spec 05STi want comment on if you've got LA seats?

In that case there must be three sizes, then. The first UK STI definitely had narrower seats than MY03 on, and I always assumed the wider seats were the same as the US car. I don't see why MY05 should be any different - the MY05 JDM car certainly isn't.

That's got to be Scoobynet quote of the week!

If you don't want it after all I'm sure there are plenty of people who do!

How can you not know which car you've ordered?
