Cool

Great isn't it

slowly the die hard classis/bugeye/blobeye/hawkeys purists are coming round to the hatchback

In 10 years time you will all be driving them

so get youe old modles wrapped up in plastic bubbles ,put them in heated garages with carpets and nice blue and yellow curtains and store them and fetch them out for the shows !!

the new hatch is the future

look at the american forums there is some great stuning examples

some of us are just a bit slow over here

there will be some intersting hatches at the NBO 8 to really tempt you all

I just wish I had £2k burning a hole in my pocket... those American guys and their ET+29 19"x9 Advan RS alloys look mental on the hatch....

The chances of RCM doing the 2010 Time Attack are slim but that is not 100% yet.
It will depend if anything turns up.

LOL, not a chance of me ever owning one, it is one of the most disappointing cars ever made and at least half the people on here would not be entertaining it if it wasn't a Subaru.

P.S. Yes I have driven one before you ask - it was dull

Hi trails

Oh yes the greenwagon lives like royality now

took it out this morning cleaned it and took it for a 2 mile drive to keep it happy then back in its home untill next weeks outing

the new hatch is great looks the part easy to drive and has the Subaru badge on too
as mentioned earlier it has really taken off over the pond and the uk guys are slowly warming to it

in ten years time Im going to past and copy all the negative statements they said when it came out and they will have to confess their sins

what we need to see is some great modified versions on show to catch their imagination and they will follow like sheep to us

I do understand where you are coming from, I was planning on buying a blobeye wagon but after driving both a bug and blob brought a classic and have never looked back.

The hatch is a different beast all together, its called evolution. The 330S can't really be described as dull, very linear power delivery and drama free handling (OK lets NOT talk about the steering feel ), and a far superior interior. The cars grown up and the target market has changed that's all.

Come off it mate, i happen to like the hatch, and i'd buy one if i had the cosher, but i have read a hell of a lot of critisism about it on here, but now just because someone has slapped on a few stripes on it here and there its the best car in the world. Truth is it doesn't even exist!!
