nice motor, shame about the engrish


If a body is weak however it may have obtained mighty engine power, and it may equip with an expensive suspension, it will finish with "nothing but pie in the sky." High rigidity-ization of a body is an important means for approaching "the car of an ideal." It equips with performance SUTE which connects a body with a front strike rat attachment part firmly in the Forester STi version. Furthermore, the front crossing member was strengthened and the rigidity of an order suspension attachment part was sharply raised by reinforcing also at a rear crossing member. The quick and 精確な response to steering operation. Stability at the time of a cornering and a high-speed run. And riding taste high-quality in a flat. the highness which a high rigidity body brings about -- a quality run can be felt on all scenes

Angry

Can't see IM being wacky minded and getting this over, just look at the lack of a 2.5 Impreza to date.

I'm sure Litchfields will be eyeing this one closely though (YOU WILL WON'T YOU IAN!!) - just let me know when I can test drive

About £15,000 - but then there is import costs, tax & duty... ;(
I guess they will end up as expensive as a UK Forester XT if bought new.

No worse than say a 'generic' saloon with a silly sized spoiler and huge scoop on the bonnet!!

As a side issue I like it more than the current Impreza!!

Then again I've always had 'odd' tastes!!
