wrx s hatch
i own a blobeye wrx sti on a visit to the local dealers this afternoon i noticed a new wrx s hatch in the showroom.
i have never seen a hatch in the flesh and like most scooby owners though it was awful and not worthy of the impreza name, but i have had my mind changed by how nice it looked with its pumped up arches big wheels and low stance! could this be my next impreza???

If it was a WRX-S then it wouldn't have had flared arches ..... a simple indication would be the price ..... around £19k-£21k would mean it was a WRX-S. £25k+ would mean a STi.
However, there are no more WRX's coming into the UK .... some Dealers are saying it is because of the yen/pound exchange rate - that's bollox - it's because the new WRX will have flared arches and look evey bit the STi without the STi costs and back breaking ride. Of course, if the dealers said a new WRx was due soon, no-one would buy the current stocks, would they?

its actually because of the pound/yen rate, the dealers cannot sell the cars for 21k at the moment, they are like 23k to make profit, that puts the sti's up to 28+, the £/yen is a killer just now

Nah, I have been offered a WRX-S OTR for £19k juat arrived at the docks apparently ...... that's a loss of £2k then? Don't think that's happening, do you?
They need to clear the decks of the 'normal' shaped WRX and WRX-S .... to make way for the STi shaped Versions.
