Default New Spec C

...I'm going to buy one of these when/if they bring out a nutter version...

(also a 30kg weight saving doesn't seem that much, I'm sure mine is 90kg lighter than the standard JDM)

Subaru Impreza Spec C review - Car Reviews - iMOTOR

Bit of a crap article and I don't think the journalist knows his scoobies very well ("But the biggest and best change is reserved for the engine. A new ball-bearing turbo and intercooler water spray work together to transform the car’s power delivery." - don't all STi's have the IC spray ). Some resonable pics of the car though.

I know the hatchback divides opinion but I like it and will be very tempted if they release a 350bhp+ version at some point

Looks nice but doesn't look any different from the STi really, apart from the gold brake calipers!!

The trouble is these day's is the exchange rate it's killed the import market with the price of the Yen.

Well I would have one or the 330STi or even the Litchfield T20 variant , I have to admit that I did not like the hatchback when I first saw it but when it comes time to change my Hawkeye it will be top of my list (just not the WRX or WRXS).

I'm pretty confident the uk models don't. not sure about JDM's though.
