Default S206

I saw this at the Ring during the weekend, dealer plates and two japanese guys test driving.
A friend pointed out that it is the S206 to be revealed at the Tokyo motor show later on this month.

It looked the part

Don, I did a quick search on S206 and that topic showed up but seeing that it was started for a "normal" JDM saloon I did not read it until the end.
The pics were not taken by me though, I came across them when looking for my pictures
I feel lucky to have seen them on the car park from a distance of a few meters but I did not have the chance to see them from close (I was too busy trying to fix the cv boot of my 205) and when I went back later to inspect them they were not there anymore

It was good that you saw them in the first place. Seem to be spending more time at the Ring, which seems logical seeing you're now living "permanently" in Germany.

205 is the track/fun toy and everyday transport during warmer months. Cheaper to run and equal (if not more) fun.
Still got the Forester, not in any rush/need to sell unless a right offer comes along.
Having done the GP circuit (first time), the Ring seems too risky as a comparison and I doubt I will be going back again.
The GP circuit has plenty of run off areas where one can find the limits safely and it costs less.

They are both beautiful!
Is the ts only destined for the japanese market as well and why aren't the seats Recaros?
They look like Recaros in the second pic on the above link though

Recaros are a fee optional extra in Japan and yes the TS is only JDM.

If you read the text they are leather Recaros.............

At the interior, the Subaru Impreza STI tS features new leather RECARO sport seats, and new gear **** and brake lever coverings.

Is it just me or does the rear quarter look like a focus saloon?

Loved the S204 and always wanted one, this, not at all, front wing vents looks like they popped into Halfords on the way to the ring and the spoiler just does not suit the new saloon at all.

Love it! Won't love the price though especially with the crazy Yen exchange rate.
