You plucky pommy basta(ds, how did you manage to get the extra 40hp for free from subaru??? we had a local ltd edition (Australian) with an extra 10hp + some other goodies and had to pay a AUD $10000 premium. Bad luck about the cricket too...

Simple, we all stopped buying them or bought them from independent importers for £4k less SUK/IM got upset, then desperate, and then realised the error of their ways Word is that that they want to up the prices again in the near future to move the marque nearer the BMW/Audi league, but we'll just stop buying them again if they do There's already a big turn-around going on over here with many people switching back to smaller cars, in particular the new high performance diesels with massive torque figures so their competition is coming from more areas than just Mitsubishi. Sure, they'll never beat a Scooby off the line, but 300 lb/ft in a car 350kg lighter with less drivetrain losses makes for quick B-road motoring.

That would do it i guess, the only problem here is that all the hi po diesel turbo's dont work so good here because we have **** diesel, but good unleaded..looks like its the scooby for a while.

Yeah, but Oz will be getting the new car too so maybe there just isn't as many unsold sat waiting over there. Or the UK has been chosen to flog off the outdated crud as usual

Yeah, LOL - We're specially selected to pay the highest prices for the cars with the least power and fewest good bits stuck on
And then charged even more over the odds to upgrade our car back to the standards of the Jap ones.
They saw us coming to be honest
