A one-off project, but there will be a run of vehicles?

Sounds VERY interesting.

Hmmmm.

So when you open the bonnet, how will you see "Cosworth" on the cam covers?

Seriously though, it'll STILL look like a Rover 25

Really interested in seeing what visual changes there will be... I reckon restyled front bumper, bonnet and wheels?

Hope the figures are good too... At least the 325/340 that the 330S gives.... Could tempt me to have a hatch. Shame it will be >£30k

I recon they'd pitch it at 400/400 Dunx

Drivability and IM warranty considering

edited to add: Actually, the 480s dissapeared up it's own exhaust... maybe a 500+ beast to show they can actually do it?

Thing that interests me most about his (and it is genuine - the link is on International Motors' website) is the complete lack of an eight letter word beginning with P. End of an era...?

The future is looking fantastic for Subaru and for those still living in the ninetys who think
the new age looks like a rover 25 / Mazda etc is going to be left behind in the new age revolution
long live the new age hatch !!!

Do we think this is a attempt by IM to shift a bunch of hatches before a new style model is announced?

Lets face it they haven't exactly been a major success.

They wouldn't do that would they LOL Id aslo say around £38-40k

Cossy at least Chocy pistons and head gaskets shouldn't be an issue

I'd be more tempted if they actually connected the body to the chassis and sort the lightweight Steering out
