kind of dissapointing he did not make a proper comparison between the EVO and STi though. Tiff only drove them for a mile and that was it. He said the cars would be tested when officially imported.
He did choose the Impreza as best for now...

IMHO I thought the Scooby looked much better and a lot more agressive than that dreadful Evo 
Top Gear was crap again though - who wants to hear about **** old war jeeps

Forgot to mention,
Those Jeep chaps on the Croisiere Blanche are the most pleasant incompetent group of off roaders you will ever have the misfortune to meet. They now only do the Croisiere and leave the challenging European events alone. Last year, one of the big wigs at PIAA tried to cut us up in his Jeep, drove into a snow drift that happened to be a 3 foot deep ditch. We were laughing too much to stop and gloat.
We did the event again this year but left the off roaders at home and took a 110, albeit 4 litre injected and supercharged! 2500 miles at 9mpg, makes the Subaru seem economical. Dont let anyone convince you it is challenging.

Sorry, but that Scooby is still fugly. The EVO wins hands down on looks. Saying that, both don't look anywhere near as good as the version 6's.
Designers should be shot ? I think so.
Cheers

I thought it was a load of guff!! The constant reminders for what's going to be on must add up to more air time than the features.
MY01 looked quite nice though ( I don't believe I just wrote that).

I'm glad that i sat through the whole program (half asleep) because they NEVER mentioned the Scooby in their umpteen "coming up next" advert breaks. Even the Jeep go more promo!
The imports are 280bhp i believe, it is just that the UK official versions will be pants!
