Clarkson has bought himself an Impreza

I remember reading an article a while back in a car mag (can't remember which) where Clarkson commented on Subaru ownership, and how he admired the people that were so into Impreza's because they just ignore all the crap they get from everyone else and love the car for what it is, regardless of any negative connotations owning one has.
So based on that I'd find it believable that he would have an impreza, especially for this weather.

Thats my thinking.
However, there is a clue; the report does say 155mph Subaru. Now there are very few Subarus that can offically do 155mph (well, Uk spec at least - assuming JDMs are restricted
: WR1, P1 and 22B,
Type Uk, Spec D and RB320 are officially rated at 158mph.
All teh rest are are sub 150mph cars (officially before people start waving ******* about thier own Impreza's top speed
).

Just as an example, I drive a subaru with bonnet scooop and a turbo, and a lovely burble. It says subaru on it but no model anywhere, just a little GT badge and a bilstein one below it, but that's easily missed. Most people don't know what it is, some people know it's a subaru but not which model, even most impreza owners don't know what it is. I'm not saying that's what it was in this case but you see my point.
Not that it matters anyway, but

Clarkson wrote an article on this non event in The Times over the weekend.
Seems he has a new STi saloon lent to him fro road testing.
He was generally happy with it and blamed his problems on other stuck drivers.
Not having a coat and wearing thin shoes didn't help either

You are also assuming the Daily Mail have any ability in journalism. It may well have been a Raleigh Burner for all they know.
Anyway, it was a STI Saloon and will be reviewed in this series so I'm told.

If I were in JP's shoes and someone behaved like that towards me I'm not sure I would be that polite.

It was nice as well that he took the time and effort to post up further after he wiped the floor with the OP.
