Default Are there alot less hawkeyes than blobs and bugs???

ive had mine since March 2006, when the hawkeye came out.. but 2 years later ive only seen ONE other blue hawkeye STI on the road!! .. besides that ive only seen 2 black STIs, 2 blue WRX's and 2 GB270s.. and one of them is my dads!! lol

so thats not alot really is it! seeing 7 hawkeyes in 2 years! lol.. especially when ones your old mans... its good, im glad the cars not everywhere, but its just strange considering i usually see a blob or bug everytime im out and about.

Agreed, seen between 5-10 in the past year of ownership around my neck of the woods, which is few considering there seem to be literally hundreds of classics and a fair few bugs and blobs.

Perhaps it's because they only ran for about 2 years...

Logically you will see less Hawks cause they are newer Bug and blob had like 5 - 6 year start while hawks been around for 2 years or less quite simple really. Blobs and bugs were massed produced if it were a special edition like a 22b, p1, wr1, etc then of course you will see less.

I have only ever seen 1 Blob STi (with the exception of mine which i see every day! ) around my area. Cant even remember seeing a Hawk.

I guess thats because the closest dealers are 50 miles either side of me

Lots of classics, and a few WRX's around though.

Yeah there are far fewer Hawks in comparison, as mentioned probably due to their shortish lifespan and the fact that they are still brand new, its only a good thing though having a rare-ish car.

Also a lot of potential customers may have held off as it was common knowledge that the ALL new Impreza was being released in 2008 - oopps

And now all of those that did hold off for the release of the ALL new Impreza in 2008 are regretting their decision as the new WRX gets spanked by the likes of a Golf GTi and the new STi looks like some kind of a Mazda 3, Proton, BMW 1 Series, Focus hybrid!!

Just come back fro a week on "The Mainland" and was surprised how few Scoobies I saw. Apart from when I visited the dragon b*tch queen from hell A.K.A. The Mother in Law, who lives in norf Lundun, 'ackney,Walfemstoe way where there are loads of chaved up, sorry, I mean tastefully customised, Classics, I think I saw half a dozen scoobs in a week, only 1 of which was a Hawkeye, and that was well stickered up and had a small galvanised dustbin for an exhaust, complete with popping and banging on over-run, and flames, in an Aldi carpark

I was trying not to be noticed in my Kia C'eed turbo diesel hire car, my Hawkeye WRX was sat at home. I couldn't get it vaccinated in time
