New jap limited eition WRX STI R205.

Still not convinced :-(

You may say that worzel, but would you have Ken Blocks version :) :)

I have seen some Jap body kits that make a great difference to the shape and improve it no end. The R205 is not one of them.

Nope, I thought the same. And 316bhp really isnt going to cut it either.

Exactly.

Nothing special for you to forgive being so ****ing ugly there!

If it was 400bhp I might just be persuaded. :ninja:

why did they call is the R205 and not S205 to follow on from previous models?

i will be the odd one out the shape is growing on me i like(not love though) the look of it:???:

No, sorry, does not float my boat, Ken Blocks car is 385BHP, and strangthened.

I'm one of the few then that loves the new shape Impreza.

I'd definatly have one!

Did anyone else spot that?

I like it:doubleup:

It could be better, both looks and no doubt performance / handling but what Subaru doesn't eventually get fettled anyway:waiting:

Didn't like the hatch when first released but they are either getting better or I'm just becoming accustomed to the shape.

PS,
(just because I like it! doesn't mean I would buy one)

Still looks like a focus:doubledown:

I'm with worzel on this, it still looks like just another new impreza and even reading the spec on it there's nothing special their either considering its a special limited edition and its still only just over 300bhp, the new shape dosent look too bad compared to when it first came out but have subaru lost their way now?

Its going to cost over 40 grand to get one on the uk roads :nono:

40k and you only get 300bhp, think thats another nail in its coffin, wonder what other cars you could get for 40k :mrgreen:

Would be 30 grand if you lived over there... we get stung on tax big time

The only things I liked where the calipers and the seats :doubleup:

and thats it :-x

Can't see whats so special about it.
Just looks like a white one instead of the usual blue.

Like the coupe, I assume there images of the Subaru vs Toyota which as where developed as aj joint venture.
Needs to be good though if it's going to beat the 370Z on value.

The Subaru/Toyota is going to be good. But that hatch back thing is nearly as bad as the scooby PIG & thats ugly.

Given the performance of the previous 'S' editions which this basically is even though for some unknow reason they've stuck an R in front I think it will probably be well over the stated power, all the other have plus the suspension parts are normally amazing with rose joints instead of bushes etc. Making one hell of a package - Iirc the Litchfield type 25 is in this kind of price bracket.

I would buy that !!!!!

:agreed: i still think they look like an astra :rofl: :rofl:

It looks like a normal STI with a hint of Focus RS

I don't like it

Can get a lot more car for the same or less money
