It will get slated by Tiff I reckon, as he is a big fan of the classic scoobs.

Agreed 5th gear seems to suck as much as the new STi.

jus watched it, and what can i say............. Subaru, ur best days are behind u (it seems)






































































Disclaimer: Fifth Gear also werent overly fair on the GTR accusing it of 'understeer' which im sure is far from the truth (and un-mentioned everywhere else).. so lets wait for Top Gear to do a head to head with the Evo X so we can see where we really are.

So his mouth said one thing and the 'smile on his face said another'? Well done dave!

Yes of course what's needed is a topgear head to head to tell us what we all already know. The new Subaru Impreza is a total failure.
