Yeah, I know, always one moaney old git but

We want STi Wagons please!!

Just imagine those nice flared arches on a wagon - glorious & IM would be getting a deposit tomorrow - sod the lack of a current job!

For the record - I like the new revised shape (a lot ) but want the versatility of a wagon...

I can but hope?

My thoughts exactly. Lack of an STi wagon will probably lead me to look elsewhere for my next car in the new year. Still be interested to see how sexily I could spec up a MY03 skinny WRX wagon though..

I agree, I agree. Somebody on i-club photoshopped a new wagon with sedan flares and OMG!!! Beautiful, but it's like the forbidden fruit. We'll never get it. I figure the utility and "sleeper" nature of a wagon is worth the extra money for a wagon. Since I can't order an STi yet, I figured another plus is that my model won't become "obsolete". There is less competition to the WRX wagon as there is no EVO wagon or anything else with the performance and utility in one. To me, it's almost like my cheap Porche Cayenne.

Me too. Please.
I think I'll be looking elsewhere if they repeat the bug-eye wagon design.

what about the JDM STi 5-door.

I didn't know it was available until I had a drool around the Litchfield Import site the other day.

I know the arches are still missing, but the engines what your are after.

OK, Time to make our feelings known.

I am also dead keen on getting the STI Wagon & would prefer a UK if I am buying new. I have emailed Subaru with the question & await their reply.

If enough of us hassle them it may create a demand which they will hopefully satisfy. I have tried the local dealer but they officially will know nothing until after Christmas, again if we all chase the dealers they talk to IM so the message will get through that way

Why on earth would you want the power and handling of an STi in a wagon when you'll be hauling fridges and the like around in the back.

I've just had the disturbing vision of a Sti wagon hurtling around a roundabout with a rotweiller stuck to the side window. :0

IFG - the front or back end?

Back on topic, my next car will (possibly) be a wagon. An STI version which has the real diffs, and the real other bits in it, would be superb , whether it's JDM or EU spec.
