I have already posted this, but it has dissapered.

Anyway,

The new scooby has been out now for a few months, yet I have not yest seen 1 driving about on the roads. Why ?? Are they not selling.

The new Modeo has been out for only 1 month, but I have already seen lots.

Why ??

I've been keeping my eyes peeled this year and not seen one either. It can't even be the insurance cost in Central London, 'cos what self respected thief would nick a MY01?

Seen a few in the Midlands, but they all look pretty bland at the moment, and apart from the boonet scoop seem blend in with many other cars out there. Maybe that will change when more after market parts are available for them.

Seen 3 since Sunday in West Yorks.

Saw a WR Blue 5dr the other day and, while the new model is not quite my cup of tea, I have to admit it looked very nice.

Although I have to admit that I've always thought the front worked better with the 5dr than the 4dr.

Sorry Ady

Simon,

You know when the penny drops?

I drive past your car (I assume it's yours) most days when it's parked at work and I've always thought "Wonder if he's on the bbs"

Now i know, cos ya e-mail address

My company deals with yours (In a round about way) so i'll have to pop in some time.

CYA around

Mikey

Steve Perriam

Andy W

saw one on Saturday.
Guy was putting it through its paces on the back roads around belfast/lisburn doesn't look too bad.

Gridlock Mikey

Seen a couple around Nott'm, Both Silver, still don't float my boat though

I am trying to like 'em, honest i am, it is a scoob after all, but i think it'll be a long time before the looks "Grow" on me

boomer

'twas one at MM2 on Sunday, see the second picture at

Markus

Yup, I've seen loads, but that was when I visited the local scooby delaer, so I guess it does not count

On the road I've seen

* DBM 4 door
* Silver 5 door

both turbos.

Must say they look better 'in the metal' than in pics.

mhawes

Theres one blue one around my way, looks very nice I must admit, they are growing on me, driven by a female.

mutant_matt

I've seen only 1 on the roads and that was driven by an old codger (who didn't wave back)

Matt.

Saw a 4 door Turbo DBM in Maidenhead on Saturday - looked quite striking in the flesh actually, better than I expected, less like a Hyundai if you know what I mean.

Old bloke driving - no wave, looked at me as if I was a nutter!

Jza

I got the first MY01 WRX sold by my dealers. So far in nearly 2 months ive seen the red one used by EVO sitting at the MIRA test track, and one blue Wagon. Only other car ive seen is the silver dealers demonstrator. Its quite nice being an "exclusive"!!!

BarryK

I saw a silver sport on Sunday, grey haired geezer driving it looked at me like I was nuts cos I waved at him.

DavidRB

Saw a red Mica one on the M25 at the weekend. From the side, it's nice & chunky and the back of the car is ok (needs a high-level spoiler though) but the front just looks plain gormless.

Waiting to see the two headlight conversions in the flesh...

PaulL

There's a blue 5-door knocking around Poole (seen it a few times at Makro and PC World)

First time I've seen the 5-door... makes the 4 door look positively fantastic...

Paul

MARK MORRIS

i have seen a couple, one back in november whilst watching the rac, on irish plates in silver, and a wr blue 4 dr in swansea without boot spoiler, must be an import

Scott W

I've just seen a Silver 5 dr heading South on the M40 in the middle lane with nobody else around!.

It took me a while to register what it was but it does look better than the pictures I've seen.

I've seen one in Holland, and that one was a RHD on it's way to the Rotterdam Ferry. Subaru NL sold 292 cars in jan 2001, against 471 cars in jan 2000....

Hi Folks...my first message ..

Just bought a new wagon WRX today...and traded in my MY2000 4-door....fantastic handling (already tested that!). Shame about the running in period....

The main reasons for changing were.. releasing the cash I had tied up in the old one (and going onto a PCP)...and ...the MY2000 4 door was always too visible with coppers and kids. Didn't like that at all. If I'd have known before that would be the case, would have gone for a 5-door last year.

Whatever...I'm pleased as punch with the new one...the looks do grow on you, and are definitely much better in the flesh....its chunkier all round...just like me these days, according to the wife.

Cheers.

Dippy

Why's that then? Do the Dutch not appreciate beautiful cars?

I saw my first MY01 on the road yesterday, and I really DID think it was a Corolla!

I see loads of pre-MY01 about and you can't miss them. Definately a BIG mistake by Subaru to mess with the styling...

DavidRB

Funnily enough, I think that we should have seen it coming. Take a look at the current "new shape" Legacy that was released before the Impreza. That car also moved away from the "evil slanted headlight" look to the gormless puppy-dog headlights and gaping-mouth grill.

I live in a place called Minnis Bay which is a real old farts area - full of Grandads deperately hanging on to their Lada Samaras, and packed full of Blue Rinsers.

My Sti earns me filthy looks every time i drive home from all the old crumblies. Kind of stands out!

And so far, the ONLY new Scooby I've seen is in Minnis Bay. And nobody minds it coz it's an old boy drives it so its just another Corolla!

Nuff said!
