Just to add to all the speculative Photoshop "Revelations" ![Wink](https://www.scoobynet.com/images/smilies/wink.gif)
I had an Email today from what has been in the Past a fairly reliable source
but not always 100% acurate
1) The new Facelift will be going around the "Ring" either this or next week
but disguised. so usaul Autocar spy shots will be availabe ![Wink](https://www.scoobynet.com/images/smilies/wink.gif)
2) The Facelift 2.0ltr will be unvailled June 13-17th at Canary Warf.
3) The 2.5ltr version out in autumm. The UK/EU's will follow 3-4 months later.
Tony
ps don't place bet on it though

The FREE PPP Offer runs out at the end of July ...... hopefully we'll get a look before then - it will help decide whether its a winner or not and if the last of the Blob-Eyes will be 'the one to have' ... just like the last of the Classics, the MY00.

If this facelift looks fantastic, I shall NOT be buying into a Blob-Eye!!
BUT, if its a hideous carbuncle like the MY01 and on to MY04 then I may well partake of a 'Last of the Blob-Eyes'

Like I said when Labour were getting my backing ..... I only back winners!! Those that do otherwise get their fingers burnt!!

Slightly off Topic
My source reckons the New 2007 Car won't be called an Impreza
and Subaru are down to a short list of Three Names for the new Model.
1) TOKEN or TOKKAN (sp)
2) ELECTRA
3) TAMA

i wouldn't be surprised if it will be a tiny city car range
seems to be the latest craze with all the makers
btw whats the chances of a very ltd edition impreza with 400hp. just to show mitsu, that they can make powerful engines too
fr400 :sigh:

Hi, I'm new to this, having just joined. I have had a Forester Sport for the last nearly three years. I am about to trade it in for an Impreza with the free PPP but now do not know whether to wait for the face lifted model in 2006. What does anyone else think?

Seriously though, most 'scoops' seemed to have been featured in Auto Express. Generally with limited credibility....

Superb!!!
Bring it on Subaru!!
BlobEye, BugEye ............ residuals on the floor!!![EEK!](https://www.scoobynet.com/images/smilies/eek.gif)
This could be the 'one to have' - like the MY00 was in the Classic shape.
And with free PPP, one would be mad not to![Big Grin](https://www.scoobynet.com/images/smilies/biggrin.gif)

IMHO the new headlights look OK, but what's with the beaky little snout in the middle? Cover that up and the first pic looks a lot better, whilst at the back, the new rear lights look like they've been fiddling for the sake of fiddling.
I'm not sad I bought an '05...
