Doesn't look too bad with the RA wheels and STi "Pink" suspension.

I can't believe they used the same wheels as the old MY05-07 Spec C RAs, totally unoriginal.

As Juggers has said, S204 makes this look so dull. You would have thought they could have put a little more effort into the styling.

20 years and this is how they celebrate one of the greatest rally cars ever made.

Why, when they can sell these, then make an S205 and sell that. More sales is what they are after at the end of the day.

Making better version after better version is what STI does best.

They've yet to better the RA-R though.

My love for impreza's died with the hatchback i just hope they can produce something to reignite my fire.

Like you said they are yet to better the ra-r ,but i just don't think it's going to happen because the ra-r has the historical 4 door saloon status and that's what impreza's were all about imo.

It looks ok, but makes me wonder, is it so hard to do something proper with the 08 model?

Still looks sh*te.

Special editions still won't be available in the UK.

I'd have bought an S204 if officially sold in the UK.

I agree with the sentiments above. White is the only thing that makes me like this hatch.

Just bring us the saloon sti, Subaru!

Yes. Why is that funny? If it breaks, I want it repaired under warranty.

Also residual values. Imports always take more of a hit. Insurance too. Uk cars will be cheaper than imports.

JDM cars use the 2.0 engine for homologation purposes for WRC, not to mention it's the stronger and better engine.

I think you'll find a JDM import will be the same price or even cheaper as some members have found to insure. And when it comes to Ltd Ed JDM cars like the S204, RA-R etc they will always fetch more than a UK car.

Importers like Litchfield and PCM offer a warranty on their cars so it's really a no brainer in my opinion when it comes to choosing a JDM over a UK car.

I like it It's no different to STI bring out V-Limiteds to celebrate Rally wins as these only had slight changes.

The rear suspension arms look interesting STI had mentioned that there would be some subtle chassis changes. I expect these will filter across the different models over time just as before.

Its like trying to dress up a minger to look like a classy woman, it will always be mutton dressed as lamb in all formats.

Its the equivelant of trying to make a pig look like a racehorse.
