Its true though, you can see the ammount of cars sold if you look at the new registrations, shows you by manufacturer how many cars they sold, a little scary but IM seem to have killed Subaru off in the UK

1187 in 2010
329 in 2011
??? in 2012 ( less than 200 ?? )
with the prices off the latest new scoobies, there road tax banding and the ever rising cost off insurance / petrol would well imagine I would not be far off with this figure ??

This could be because in 2011 the WRX STi was introduced to superceded the Impreza. So any Impreza sold in 2011 was the last years model?

You dont see many scoobs on the road nowerdays, not like the mid 2000's where you saw 3-4 on a run, seeing one now is rare, not many people can afford to run them really.

Yes very rare site the new STi apart from our club members incumbria
Petrol and £440 tax is the killer and of course £34k
Before they discontinued the wrxd it rose to a whopping 25.5 k on the road
I don't regret buying mine as I keep my cars for years but not value for money compared to other rivals on the market
The BRZ will make or break it for Subaru but as its similar apart from badges to the Toyota gt86 it will be intersting how they price it but intersting if you can get one from Australia cheaper

The hatch - the car that killed Subaru in the UK.
Ugly with an ugly price tag to match and a propensity for the top of the range model to detonate its engine is not exactly the recipe for sales success in a recession.

The numbers are not that surprising TBH. Subaru U.K lost the plot some time ago and it will be intersting to see how they price the BRZ.
As Lordy says it's make or break time very soon. They cannot expect to be viable and keep dealers satisfied on 300 sales a year.
