Default cosworth impreza

anyone noticed the ad on the back of total impreza that has now been on 3 issues (6 months worth)
saying stop press due to a cancelled order we have 1 cosworth impreza available.
not a great seller then

For around £50k you can have a supercar with 5 seats, for example

They had 30 that they were trying to export to Subaru HK Malta Cyprus Malaysia Sibgapore but cosworth wouldn't back the warranties on the engine so none were bought.

As far as i know there is no issue covering warranty on the cosworth . . . and they are covered the same as any other impreza , service interval changed to every 6 k

sorry i was wrong from subaru ...

Full ownership benefits
The new Cosworth Impreza STI CS400 comes with the reassurance of a three-year or 60,000-mile warranty (three-year or 36,000 mile on Cosworth components), plus 12-year anti-corrosion cover and three-year paintwork warranty.
