Depends on which Evo they use. If it's the 360 its a bit unfair.

According to the MLR it's a 300 SST.

EVO will take it apart imo. The new Impreza is not a good car

I think from what some are saying that were there during filming, the EVO takes it.

Odd then that the other press (Evo I think) put the Impreza ahead.

Who really cares what the outcome is on Top Gear, they are just a bunch of Muppets anyway.

They'll probably find the same as everyone else... Impreza handles better and is marginally quicker but... well... it's turned into a hatchback. Not the most attractive hatchback in the world either to be fair.

Probably loses on that alone knowing Clarkson.

I think I've yet to own a car they like on TG... so no chance they'll like the 08 STI but not too bothered, it's an entertaining hour. I missed the first episode, got it setup for the repeat on Saturday but has James May left, implies they've a new presenter along side JC and Hamster.
