garcon magnifique Posted November 29, 2006 Report Share Posted November 29, 2006 Brought to you by Subaru UK and Prodrive, the special edition Subaru Impreza RB320 A fitting tribute to Richard Burns, this will (probably!) be the final UK special edition of the Impreza as we know it, before it is replaced by an all new, smaller hatchback at the end of 2007. I WANT! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

garcon magnifique Posted November 29, 2006 Author Report Share Posted November 29, 2006 Having spoken to my dealer, he's had half a dozen or more enquiries and at least one firm order. There'll be 320 of them. Delivered in March. First 50 get to spend a day at the Prodrive proving circuit. Available options include leather or leather/alcantara, an ICE pack that includes dvd sat nav, and 'pimp glass' (I promise you, that's what he called it! ). I asked if you could delete the rear wing and he said, not really - it leaves feckin big holes in the bootlid. So, it has the right kit inside, looks mean as fook on the outside. It's the last hurrah of the Impreza, a car I've always loved. It'd be a purchase of the heart above all other considerations. And I'd probably be fed up of the back pain after a few months.

danksy Posted December 11, 2006 Report Share Posted December 11, 2006 Not sure if these things are out yet, but I am 90% certain I saw one nr Yatton in Bristol on Saturday The front bodykit gave it away Didn't catch any of the decals on the back as it was moving too quick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garcon magnifique Posted December 11, 2006 Author Report Share Posted December 11, 2006 Doesn't come out til March, but there's at least one Prodrive car knocking about. Or it could have been a standard black STi with the right bits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ashleyadam Posted December 18, 2006 Report Share Posted December 18, 2006 Garcon I have fallen in love with this vehicle, what do you reckon depreciation would be like if used for about 6 months, looks so good . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garcon magnifique Posted December 18, 2006 Author Report Share Posted December 18, 2006 It'll depend on condition and mileage, but I think it'll take a pretty hefty hit in the first year. It might be a 'limited' edition, but I doubt Subaru have sold more than 320 STi's in the last year or so anyway... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Woppum Posted December 18, 2006 Report Share Posted December 18, 2006 Id get it with the wing. Without it, the point is lost IMO. Not chav its way too expensive for them. Great car Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scooby_simon Posted December 18, 2006 Report Share Posted December 18, 2006 I'll be watching used values with great interest. Had an interesting conversation with Wifee last night. Oh, we'll need to replace your car fairly soon, no you cannot have a NEW Exige or RB320.... ....What about in a year or so.... Maybe..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RRR250 Posted December 19, 2006 Report Share Posted December 19, 2006 before it is replaced by an all new, smaller hatchback at the end of 2007. I hear subaru were going to lose the plot but what are they planning? I WANT! [/ QUOTE ] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garcon magnifique Posted December 19, 2006 Author Report Share Posted December 19, 2006 I think the only pics of the new Impreza currently out there are rather suspect photoshops, so I guess we'll have to wait for the official preview shots to see to what extent Subaru have lost the plot. If I was pushed, I would say think Honda Civic... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
