I was just flicking through the pages of the Subaru Technica website (not easy as most of it is in Japanese, surprisingly ), when I came across the 'Subaru Impreza WRX STi type RA spec C'. That has got to be a contender for the longest name

Interesting looking car BTW - no spoiler, but it has got a nice roof vent, non-airbaged (i.e. decent looking) steering wheel and some nice lowered suspension. Not sure of the spec, but it looks quite good

Website can be found here for anyone that is interested.

Euro spec wagon!

Cool machine.

Emotional objet. (sic)

It's Cool Emotion.

But anyway, looks the business. I don't speak Japanese, but are they saying that Ferdinand Porsche helped to design it????? Conflict of interest maybe?

So when do we get it over here then huh?

Didn't they make a 'Subaru Impreza Sti Version 4 Type-R V-Limited' ?
Or am I talking b*llocks?

If you want the site in english try putting the URL (www.subaru-sti.co.jp) in here http://world.altavista.com/sites/gbe...babelfish/trns

It doesn't always make the most sense of Japanese though

Not sure what this means but it is a feature of the Type RA C
Trunk trim * mattress conversion


Also if you look hard you'll see impreza's are really in pressers

Unhappy

The information ON STI official Web site is designed and presented IN Japanese only.



STI are not allowed to handle orders outside Japan due to exsiting contracts between Subaru and Overseas Subaru Distributors. Kindly please contact local Subaru dealers IN your country for any inquiry.
I guess that we aren't meant to read the STI page

Robman - didn't Porsche have a hand in the B4 Blitzen? If so, maybe it is not that far from the truth
