New Impreza Launched at Motor Show!!
The same shape and look - BUT - an 'S' Version!!
New Imprezas | evo News | News | evo
"First up is the Impreza WRX-S, which sees power rise from 230 to 255PS (251 bhp) and a significant 51 lb ft increase in torque care of a remapped ECU. This shaves 0.6 seconds off the standard car’s 0-60mph time and the extra urge is due to be backed up with substantially increased in-gear flexibility.
The WRX-S features a rear limited slip differential, while a centre viscous coupling maintains the nominal 50:50 front-to-rear torque split. There is also a raft of cosmetic enhancements, with front and rear spoilers plus a new diffuser. Inside the cabin gains a Momo Air-Race gear **** in a choice of four colours. The car is on sale now, priced at £22,495, with the first deliveries expected in September.
The WRX STI also receives the S-treatment with the WRX STI 330S. Further ECU tweaks and a new exhaust system provide increases of 29 bhp and 46.6 lb ft over the standard STI, while Subaru are promising that the twin 90mm tail pipes will bring back the burble of previous Scoobys. Trim upgrades include Recaro front leather seats, satellite navigation and a new push-button start system.
Power is transmitted to the wheels via the standard STI’s 6-speed gearbox and much more sophisticated four wheel drive system. It also features Subaru’s SI-drive system which allows you to choose between three different driving modes: ‘Intelligent’, which is intended to reduce fuel consumption by softening throttle response and reducing power output; ‘Sport’, which is intended for everyday running with full power and a more linear throttle response; and ‘Sport Sharp’, which makes the throttle response yet crisper. Expect to pay around £30,000 on the road and, as with the WRX-S, the first cars are expected in September"

I was there today and it says "Concept" on the description - looked just like a normal STi to me.
The British Motor Show was crap , no effort from any of the manufacturers. Just looked like they'd brought a showroom each with them and plonked it on the floor. Alfa stole the show with the red 8C - pretty car and very pretty girls on their stand too.
Just grateful I didn't have to pay for tickets after someone on here posted up a link to AOLs free tickets a couple of months ago

Here's the WRX S:
I reckon the white 8C was nicer than the red one but you're right about the models
Maybe the third or fourth time I've posted this link but what can I say, I'm an attention *****!!

Cheers! Will have more on tomorrow...
There are two almost identical renault models, I didn't get a pic of the 2nd one but also in a sprayed on outfit.
The lotus blond was certainly having fun and I think I might have a pic of her bending over
This was my favourite though:
