If Subaru didn't exist...?
With the Impreza no longer on sale here in the UK after this model it got me thinking that my next purchase in many years time will probably be an Import
However it then got me thinking what I'd own if they didn't exist full stop! I reckon it would be something like a Focus RS or one of the RS Audis maybe?

Impreza's will be around for a long time yet and importing is an option for the new models.
the focus for enthusiasts now will gradually shift toward preserving the best of
the cars we have now some versions are already desirable 22b's for example.
if they had never been around i am not sure what i would have had in their place?
perhaps Celica GT4, Toyota MR2, Evo or perhaps one of Nissan's Z cars or skyline series.

Probably would have stayed with a blue oval in the form of an RS or a Cosworth, or possibly a Toyota Supra, maybe an Integrale.

When I was about 16 I had three posters on my wall.
One was Colin McRae's Impreza, one was Hakkinen's McLaren MP4-13 and the other was one of these, in Toyota Castrol colours

If we are sticking to roughly the same price range, Renault Sport Megane R26R. Or the new model.

I would have an EVO if I didn't have the Impreza. I had a Focus RS Mk1 before the scoob, and although it was a nice car, it wasn't as exciting and torque steer got boring after a while (was running just under 300bhp).
