Default Scoobs in Switzerland

Was in Zurich and surrounding area yesterday, saw about 6 or 7 Subarus in an hour - every one was a non-turbo Impreza Wagon.

Guess the 4wd is popular there, but I wonder why I saw no WRX/STi's. Do they have worse tax issues than we do here?

Mate, their emmissions laws are very strict and all the cars are de-tuned to hell. It is also illegal to modify stuff over there. Nice country...........crappy legislation

Shame, some beautiful roads (and tunnels!), would be fun to drive a nice car over there.
