Default Impreza Cosworth on Top Gear!

Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond and James May visit Albania to test three luxurious vehicles - the Rolls-Royce Ghost, Bentley Mulsanne and Mercedes-Benz S65 AMG. Jeremy also drives three high-performance hatchbacks in the form of the limited-edition Ford Focus RS500, Prodrive-developed Cosworth Impreza STi CS400 and one-off Volvo C30 PPC. Jonathan Ross is the Star in the Reasonably Priced Car

Looking forward to it.

Typical FORD loving TopGear, even the Volvo is a Ford in Volvo clothes.

Seriously though ..... I took a STi out on an extended test drive (on my own) last April/May .... I wanted to want it, I didn't - not at £27000!!!

The plastics and interior were, lets be honest, not good enough to be on a KIA!! It was quick - but that's not what it's all about nowadays ... it needs to be more.

Now I see it is £33,405 ... and that is an OUTRAGE!!

Shame they have not put the volvo into production, even I would be tempted as long as they didnt have their "fuel saving" mode on it
