Just seen it in AutoExpress.
Lowering the entry price of the UK spec to under £20k could be a real good move.

Sorry if its been posted already lol

So it that conformation that IMI / Subaru Uk have done a reversal and decided that the WRX will be coming to the UK - or more made up news / wild speculation by AutoExpress ?

It's been in most of the motoring press that IM have done a u turn and will be bringing the WRX to the UK

The Subaru Range - NEW Impreza - Impreza 2.5 WRX | Subaru (UK) Ltd.

Follow the link - it's official!

Urghh, is that silver thing on the link the WRX? That is one embarrassingly ugly car!

Paul3446

<LI type=disc>Priced from just £19,995 OTR <LI type=disc>Available in very limited numbers from November 2007
I'm not surprised, I reckon 4 should be enough!

Cant even see any engine improvements 230 bhp with only a combined mpg of 27.2 and 0-62 of 6.5. Doesn't seem to hsve the eco mode either on the UK model.

Midlife......

I'm sure I read somewhere that they will only bring in 300 WRX'ss in total over the next 2 years.

100 cars during 2007 and 200 cars in 2008

Not a lot to go round LOL

I wonder how long it will take Subaru to realise that there making a big mistake with bringing that hatchback thingy out, Give it another year and there will be another shape!!!!


I dont know anyone who likes it!!!!!

MJW

Probably when they still have 295 WRXs in stock after 2 years !!

mgcvk

Pop-up headlamp washers....ooooh thats me sold then! My wife who doesn't particularly like my car and thinks its garish says that this one looks just like every other car on the road and is it a Rover?!

Snazy

I reckon in 2 1/2 years time once mine is due to go I might actually like it

Its growing on me and fast. Superb value for under £20k as they say.

So Stevie Wonder has given up on his singing career and got a job designing cars for Subaru ??

Lets be honest -

It's an impreza in name only.

It doesn't look that bad in the metal - those photos don't do it any justice.

As I thought IM are being greedy - it's £2k too much IMHO. These are £14k in the states. Still if they don't want to sell many (!) I can't a problem shifting them. Good solid niche motor, reliable, fairly quick.

Look at the car tax :0 - band G £400 quid next year and going up exponentilly after that IMHO.

richs2891

Have to agree with you there in regards to the band G hike in a few years time - another thing that is putting me off replacing my MY05 with a new one !!

Spot the difference between the WRX and the RX - only the scoop makes it look a little sporty.

Not going to pull the skin of a rice pudding is it

Jimpreza

It wouldn't pull back the skin from my bell end mate. Look at the competion VXR, Cupra, ST, MPS. All these are cheaper more powerful (except for the ST ) and are all better looking. The Astra VXR and MPS do 0-60 on 6.2 which is quicker than the WRX and thew VXR and MPS are fwd.

The other hot hatches also have a better combined mpg and don't fall inti the top tax bracket. Well done Subaru u pack of *****.

Are you feeling alright Snazy? You can get a WRX 07 for £14k at Motorpoint, what is it that makes that new ugly piece of poo, superb value at £20k?

Snazy

Feeling fine thanks, seeing as I BOUGHT an 07 WRX from Motorpoint 2 months ago

The value is based on it being a UK spec car, which compared to the UK spec car of current is cheaper
Imports may be cheaper, but I dont care right now as I have my new car.

btw.. £14k is the surface price not OTR... it changes slightly once you add it all up
