I take it you dont like it then.

Thinking of what car to get next, its between the rally twins, a SEAT cupra, beemer or TT.

I like the normal versions fine, but I don't like that MR FQ blah blah version. especially in the times of high petrol prices, that car is just stupid to own. Most folks I've talked to who own STi or EVO cars say they get 18-19mpg. No thanks, unless I'm constantly pushing those cars I don't need them. I would be perfectly happy with a 2.0T A4, or in your case a TT.

Our Parisian friends over at LeBlogAuto were on hand at the Motorsport Japan 2008 event in Tokyo this past weekend, where FHI unveiled an Impreza-based "concept" dubbed the Subaru WRX STI Takumi.

Featuring upgraded springs and shocks, revised suspension bits, lightweight 12-spoke wheels, undisclosed engine tweaks and a slightly reworked exterior, the Takumi foretells the future of the rumored Spec-C variant, due to hit the market sometime next year.

Subaru execs at the show remained mum on if when the Spec-C would debut, but the smart money is on the Tokyo Auto Salon this January.

Litchfield Subaru Impreza STI Type-20 Makes 400 PS



Subaru STI has always had a reputation as a tuner's dream car thanks to a number of its "natural" characteristics, such as small turbo engines, AWD and superb handling. Litchfield are a prominent Subaru specialist and they now introduce the world - via Autosport show - to Litchfield Subaru Impreza STI Type-20, a hatch as potent as a previous generation BMW M5. At a fraction of the weight and price.
Litchfield owner Iain Litchfield and team began working on the car early this year. It's based on the rally-based STI but is actually something of a road-going pocket bullet. Using the Subaru 2.0-litre boxer rocker, Litchfield has squeezed a tremendous 400PS/ 298kW from it, in conjunction with a massive 508Nm of torque, 414Nm of which is available at 3,000rpm. For a turbo this STI Type-20 is quite the screamer, achieving its maximum potency at a woozy 7,500rpm. Zero to 60mph is a matter of 3.9 seconds, top speed reached at 165mph.
