I thought the 280ps was a hard and fast rule, and nothing was officially over that?

even the special evos were exempt as they were not considered production.

if that is the case then what is all this then?

Beautiful BT van yellow aswell!

I read about this over 6 months ago and it seems they have finally released it

I think Subaru have been *allowed* to produce it, I don't know the proper detail, Ia m sure someone on here will.

 

wonder what the price tag is though

 

I guess for a UK version add another £5000 on

 

What can I Say............

I WANT ONE NOW............

I've seen better looking Toyota Corolla's

 

"... stainless steel break hoses ..." sounds a bit worrying.

 

well at least you'll get dealership support

 

I was wondering if they were going to be imported, hmmmm, tempting, but no cash so it'll have to be a dream

 

From my experience of main dealers and franchises, that scares me rather than reassures me. I would rather see a specialist garage!!!!

 

Simple answer. It is not a 'Subaru'. It is an STi Subaru. Just like a Nissan GTR is a Nismo Nissan GTR and a Toyota is a TRD. They 'sell the car to an inhouse aftermarket tuner. If you really want to be picky if you own a like car you are really the second owner even if you bought it new. Like any rule there is always a way around it.

Edited to say thanks again to all those who took the pi55 a while ago when I mentioned a 320bhp model being available.

Don't care what agreement may or may not of been broken...

I WANT ONE!

 

Thats the greek import, it has 320- 330 BHP but no uk dealer will touch it !

 

I want one, but yellow just isn't me

 

The car is a Japanese home market car. It is listed on the subaru sti japan website.

 

I Want one and I want one now!!!

 

No problem Davyboy just give me a call and I'll get you one

how did Toyota get away with the 'agreement' with the Supra? 324bhp, but I assume officially it was 280PS

Justin

 

the jap supra was 280.

in the uk it wasnt.

dosenoffner.

if that is the case, then why didnt sti release a car with greater than 280ps before?

why is the nissan skyline officially 280ps?

 

"Pireri" Zero Rosso's - must be a ****-take

 

I think one of the big questions is whether or not it can corner well

 

Well 320 bhp or not, i wont be ordering! With the rumour of a face lift it would be a pointless exercise, maybe if the car looked as good as the 22b it would be worth it, but looking like the generally unloved and unwanted bug eye, no chance!

 

rumour of a face lift

It is rumours, nothing else. No hard facts at all. Its like a game of Chinese whispers.

 

Yes I am waiting for the facelift too.

 

Yeah, 'cos the WRX's and the STi's just arn't selling are they???

Iain,

Why oh why didn't you try and convince me to upgrade to this one m8?

Matt

 

Matt,

Why oh why don't you try and upgrade to this one I only found out about it the other day

yellow would be the only colour to get !!

mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm, i want one.

 

Now THAT'S more like it!

 

Yet again the wagon owners are left in the cold.

UK Spec equivalent to JAP Spec & Wagon equivalant to Saloon (Subaru & IM take note - give us what we want or we'll import & modify then your ever decreasing dealership will lose out on servicing too because you'd rather "cut your nose off to spite ya face")

All we want is an equal spec - surely its not much to ask [img]images/smilies/mad.gif[/img]

The independents laugh if your face ;-)
