I shouldnt think there would be any STI Foresters to be brought in unless prodrive bring in a few of em.They brought in a couple of B4s and as far as I know they gave Robbie head one of them.Just seen the link,what the hell is a Pleo and who makes it?

Pleo is Subaru's K-car, the Pleo RS in black is one very cool car.
64ps from 660cc supercharged engine and 6-speed sportshift CVT, it's quite a fast little car as it's very light.
The Forester STi is basically a Forester S/tb with STi parts fitted.

I thought the Forester Sti, a "S/Turbo with STi parts fitted", was therefore, an Impreza in station wagon clothing!
Its performance etc coming very close to a std UK Impreza turbo.
But looking like a school run car!

Forester S/tb has 240ps engine, Forester S-turbo has 170ps engine. Former is Jap spec and latter is export spec.
All Subarus in Japan does not have the Subaru badge on their grills/bonnets, instead a badge of the respective model is fitted (i.e. the Pleo will have a 'P' badge and Impreza a 'i' badge).

I seem to remember one of the mags (EVO?) were recently running a Forester with Prodrive bits which probably pretty much the same. I believe Prodrive do do a catalogue of Forester bits (cue Mike "too busy to sit at his PC all day" Wood).
