Thumbs up Re: MY06 Sti....

Quote from Auto-Express this week.

Solberg helping out on Scooby.

The next Subaru impreza (below) remember that pic from Dec 2004…. Has a celebrity development driver. Works Subaru rally ace Petter Solberg has been helping out, and confirmed his roles while on a promotional day for tyre maker Pirelli.

He was behind the wheel of a current Impreza at the time, but said “ I can’t believe the difference between the two – this one’s pretty slow in comparison. The new car hits the UK next year….

Comments welcome....

2.5ltr 350 bhp here we come??

Very interesting. How many will be cancelling orders for the 05 now then? Slightly sad to see Solberg being used as a pawn in this sort of thing, but I suppose it makes sense.

Me for one....
I was Very tempted to change my ultra low mile example for the new MY05 model especially as there is upto 10% off the £26,250.

Now I am going to sit back & wait for the new scoob to come out. For comments like this it must be fast??

You don't really think he'd say, "to be honest, I was disappointed - the new one isn't much better than the old one" do you?

FWIW, I think that the MY06 will be the last of the current shape imprezas. A couple of years back there was a rumour that they'd be going end of line in 2006, so it would make sense to go out with a bang...

Which begs the question, is the MY07 a better bet?

Start your rumours here.....

I'm holding on for the MY08 car. That will be 500bhp with the PPP fitted.

MY08 is having optional power downgrade to simplify the insuring of PPP

It'll never be simple to insure a car with a PPP...
