As theWRC Subaru team was actually Prodrive, i think you'll find they're looking at something else to compete in, as Honda are quiting F1 i wouldn't be at all supprised if ths is where they'll go.

the new imprezas crap...i hate to say it, ive been a huge subaru fan for years

meany - 21/12/08 at 02:56 PM

crap in what way.
ive not driven the latest hatchback style, i'll admit they have dropped a bollock on the styling of the WRX but the STI looks ok, especially in the flesh.

i've owned an Impreza for near on 6 years , my current one i've had from new, nearly 3 yrs.

meany - 21/12/08 at 05:29 PM

they have never been pretty...lol

Back to making farm hacks I reckon

Plenty of non-factory and privateer teams running Subarus to keep them and Prodrive busy though.

What about touring cars for Subaru? Got to be cheaper then WRC.

theyve moved away from the big engine and light body thing to heavy hatchback packed with computers, they look dire...
im only really talking about the latest model, although the one before wasnt too good...i reckon they were best in the 95-2002 era
