Looks like Subaru have decided to give the UK a go again. Will be interesting to see when and if I hear from Subaru UK as I have registered with them last year to keep me advised.

At least this one looks to be available here in the proper colour.

That could be a base model STI price tho? If there are optional extras they could soon add up.

What I meant was that the previous saloon was not available in anything that resembled Rally blue, it was available in that colour in NZ, and even in auto.

Agreed Steve, plus there is bound to be a tasty 340/350 Bhp model waiting in the wings once a few of these are shifted.

It's a reworked 2.5 again. Rumours were that it would be a 2.0 but it seems not.

Good point Phil. If I lease it I'm not too worried if JDM or UK as it would be for 2 or 3 years, then go back. If I decide to do what I did with the hawk and HP finance it through work and keep it longer then I will be more fussy and probably opt for a JDM.

I will have a look today and see what the JDM spec is I think. I've got that Fizzy feeling again!!

It seems the WRX IS a 2.0 268 bhp and the STI the 2.5 305bhp.
