Doesn't look too bad with the RA wheels and STi "Pink" suspension.

STI - STI 20th ANNIVERSARY

Mog

 

Inside looks good, as for the rest well i'm not a fan yet.

 

Quite like the white.

 

They could of atleast tried ot make it better then the S204.

 

I can't believe they used the same wheels as the old MY05-07 Spec C RAs, totally unoriginal.

As Juggers has said, S204 makes this look so dull. You would have thought they could have put a little more effort into the styling.

20 years and this is how they celebrate one of the greatest rally cars ever made.

 

Why, when they can sell these, then make an S205 and sell that. More sales is what they are after at the end of the day.

Making better version after better version is what STI does best.

They've yet to better the RA-R though.

 

Another special edition without a factory run number

 

Tart

And at least yours was the best looking as well.

 

My love for impreza's died with the hatchback i just hope they can produce something to reignite my fire.

Like you said they are yet to better the ra-r ,but i just don't think it's going to happen because the ra-r has the historical 4 door saloon status and that's what impreza's were all about imo.

 

In my heart of hearts i'm hoping that they will come out with a special saloon type Mcrae! How many of us would buy that then !!!!!

Simpsons !

 

It,s growing on me, especially the White, Hmmmm, loving the seats too..

 

apart it being white, theres not much i like about the exterior

wiley

 

I thought the impreza came out in 1994?

 

I think STi was founded in 1989 hence the aniversary...

 

Ok but don't google STi

Simpsons !

 

It looks ok, but makes me wonder, is it so hard to do something proper with the 08 model?

 

Still looks sh*te.

Special editions still won't be available in the UK.

I'd have bought an S204 if officially sold in the UK.

 

saloon type Mcrae i agree thats what i would need to change my one for the new type

 

I see a Red push button start and a slighly different head unit... otherwise a premium spec car with RA's and antiroll bars?

 

Why because fo the 3 year warranty

Immy

 

I agree with the sentiments above. White is the only thing that makes me like this hatch.

Just bring us the saloon sti, Subaru!

 

your all so fixed on the looks you havn't even noticed the fact its got a ej20 engine in it and not the 2.5 :0

 

I'd noticed, I thought all JDM's were 2.0l

 

thought nerw ones were 2.5? (i might be wrong)

 

Yes. Why is that funny? If it breaks, I want it repaired under warranty.

Also residual values. Imports always take more of a hit. Insurance too. Uk cars will be cheaper than imports.

 

JDM 2.0L

UK 2.5L

 

JDM cars use the 2.0 engine for homologation purposes for WRC, not to mention it's the stronger and better engine.

I think you'll find a JDM import will be the same price or even cheaper as some members have found to insure. And when it comes to Ltd Ed JDM cars like the S204, RA-R etc they will always fetch more than a UK car.

Importers like Litchfield and PCM offer a warranty on their cars so it's really a no brainer in my opinion when it comes to choosing a JDM over a UK car.

 

I like it It's no different to STI bring out V-Limiteds to celebrate Rally wins as these only had slight changes.

The rear suspension arms look interesting STI had mentioned that there would be some subtle chassis changes. I expect these will filter across the different models over time just as before.

Its like trying to dress up a minger to look like a classy woman, it will always be mutton dressed as lamb in all formats.

Its the equivelant of trying to make a pig look like a racehorse.
