I would doubt very much if you could get a Subaru warranty to cover the car as the US STi uses some parts that aren't sold on cars over here (e.g. the 2.5 engine - though that will be arriving here next year apparently).
You can buy aftermarket warranties (e.g. http://www.warrantydirect.co.uk/) which provide most of the cover.
Given the costs of importing the car over here (transportation, import duties VAT etc), and then potential problems with increased insurance costs with the car not being a standard European model then it may be worthwhile selling your car in the US, and buying a local spec car over here.

With this warranty direct, do you know if it is only covered in the uk or elsewhere in europe. I live in switzerland and am trying to find coverage here. Its tough to find since i am limited to english! If you know of anything please let me know, and thanks for your help.

Josh,
theres always http://babelfish.altavista.com to trnaslate sites in other languages. Works very well with French, German and Italian. May not give you 100% correct translation, but enough to give you the basic understanding.
